Abstract
This study examines the impact of a family planning program on fertility in 282 urban and rural areas of Taiwan. The areas that had higher acceptance rates had higher fertility declines between 1963 and 1965. The ratio of health workers and doctors to 100 married women aged 22-44 and the percent of women who had graduated from primary school were negatively associted with fertility in 1965. The 1963 fertility rate and crude death rate are the only 2 variables not program-related directly influencing the 1965 fertility rate. The family planning worker ratio had the greatest influence of IUD acceptance rates. The multivariate analysis used in this study illustrates that IUD acceptances have had a substantial effect on reducing fertility in Taiwan.
