Outline the controversial issues that have made family planning to be unsuccessful.

  

Answers


Martin
i) Lack of adequate information on formal family planning methods and their associated uses and deleterious effects.

ii) Lack of proper education on population issues to explain the problems of rapid population growth and benefits of reduced population growth.

iii) Poverty – As poverty deepens in the society, many can’t afford to access certain methods of family planning.

iv) Religious beliefs and convictions – Some religious beliefs access the use of birth control efforts/methods since they alter the natural reproductive process.

v) Side effects and complications that arise from the use of some methods - These make certain methods more unpopular than others.

vi) Traditional customs and values – These oppose the artificial alteration of reproductive processes hence hamper use of family planning methods.

vii) Embarrassment associated with the use of certain methods e.g. condoms. For this reason, many shy away from using them.

viii) Some argue that population growth is beneficial since more people mean more ideas, creativity and work.

ix) Some claim that population growth issues are not as critical as the high consumption issue.

x) Others maintain that population growth would level off around the global carrying capacity of the earth. This argument is supported by the fact that food production is increasing faster than the population growth while the average fertility rates are decreasing.
