The Dynamics of Family Planning: Key Demographic Insights
2017
This report published by the Population Reference Bureau (PRB) describes and explains relationships among contraceptive use and demographic outcomes. In addition to a deeper understanding of the population dynamics surrounding this issue, the short report helps readers understand why programs that extend contraception to populations may succeed or fail. The report summarizes the ways in which changes in fertility relate to changes in mortality, as well as the implications that a low birth rate has for raising children, their education, and broader social and economic development. Exploring the intricacies of population dynamics through the lens of contraceptive use and family planning remains essential, because it shapes the labor force, public and private investments, and the economy – thereby influencing the increasingly interconnected world in which we live. The report is accompanied by a brief explanatory video by John Ross, an eminent demographer and author of the report.
