Abstract	Recent developments in fertility control are presented in relation to the global demographic situation. Discussion focuses on changes in scientific knowledge and concepts that have shifted the focus from birth control to planned parenthood to the notion of controlled fertility. The place of family planning programs, including their socioeconomic implications, is examined. Contraceptive methods are described in terms of their advantages, shortcomings, and medical and cultural considerations. Examples of programs for young people are drawn from Jamaica and Ethiopia. The organization of family planning programs is discussed, with emphasis on the fact that family planning is a team project requiring coordinated training of the health agents involved. Some family planning programs in Tunisia, Rwanda, Togo, Burkina Faso, and Bangladesh are used to illustrate the point. The sensitive problem of contraception for adolescent girls and young women, and the role of men in contraception, is described. A final chapter covers the diagnostic, formative, ongoing, and evaluative aspects of programs. Appended is a sample record card for family planning from the Ministry of Health in Rumania. Contains 19 references. (LB)
