The Effects of Family Planning on a Nation's Population and its Economy

Hello, and welcome to my blog.

What do you understand about family planning?

Family planning is a way of regulating the number of children in a family setting. Each time this term is used, it signifies a moment when we want to regulate our child bearing in the family. This may include when we want to control child spacing and not necessarily stopping child bearing.

In recent times, we also find thos term used in a country setting where population size is discussed. This also means a process of controlling the population index of the country, especially when overpopulation is envisaged.

We have seen in some advanced countries where the country's policies are focused on reducing the population size by officially announcing the stipulated and acceptable family size for different geographical areas. A typical example is in China, which has helped them to tame this population explosion.

The truth is that if we must get it correctly at the largest stage, we have to get it right from the family size. What policies that guide the family size affect the entire country's population. We can not pretend over this and allow for a polygamous belief system and want to achieve a standardized population size.

Do you think countries should regulate their population using family planning? How do you think that will help them? Explain.

Family planning is the best way to regulate population index. I have heard of situations where countries are accused of using natural disasters as ways of controlling population sizes. If true, these are barbaric ways other than human driven idelogies.

Like I said earlier, population size can best be regulated through policies focused on family child-bearing acts. Like, for example, policies that mandate all new families not to have more than two children could be put in place. These may be temporary policies to help control birth rate.

The use of contraceptives is also another initiative in place to help control unwanted births. This is government idelogy since there is little or no interference on how and when couples should have intercourse. This has put to and end, reasonably, unwanted pregnancies.

Countries are concerned by the available resources within it's confines and population size is the most mitigating factor on how much a country could keep as reserves. There would be crises if the population continues to outweigh the availability of resources within the country's reach. Incidences of unemployment, insecurity, hunger, poverty, inflation, etc. are the envisaged vices to look out for.

Therefore, family planning is of great help to the family. There are no doubts that we should be best if there are even resource allocation and distribution. A controlled population is a controlled economy. However, we have to play down on religious belief systems that are obsolete and counting against society other than for good.

Do you encourage family planning? Tell us your reasons.

We are at a stage where no one needs to be told about family planning or family size. The economic situation in the country is already naturally doing so without asking for attention. However, this should be encouraged despite the economic hardship everywhere.

Families of present now find it difficult to cope with the little they have, and going into more child bearing should entail more stiffer resolution to plan adequately for it. This simply hinges on the cost of training one child for quality sakes. A responsible family is a responsible society.

Family do not need to over burden themselves unnecessarily with child births. This does not only save the woman from childbearing effects but from the financial pressure that kills the man gradually. We do not need to labour until we get to the grave. Instead, we should find rest at old our age.

Tell us about some of the methods or types of family planning you know or have heard of.

1. Use of Contraceptives patch - these are protective gloves provided by both parties and could be used by either partites during sexual meetings.

2. Use of Contraceptive Ring - these are insertions made in the woman to prevent passage of males semen during meeting.

3. Use of Intrauterine device - these are injected in part of the body to help distort hormal acceptance of the males semen.

4. Use of birth control pills - these pills are taken to neutralize the effect of conception. Most in use in some areas.

5. Use of Hormonal or Contraceptive injection - just as the name implies, they are injected for protective measures

6. Use of breastfeeding methods - this is a traditional method that help inhibit access to pregnancy. It has worked for many with corresponding.working body system.

7. Use of withdrawal methods - a traditional method that entails that the man counterpart withdraws before ejaculation. This requires adequate calaculation to avoid mistakes.

8. Applying Male and female sterilization - This sterilizes the hormones and make them impotent to accept conception.

9. Use of fertility awareness - control measures done through adequate knowledge of fertility timelines.

10. Applying Abstinence - a method that does not require any activity other than abstain from any form of sexual behaviours.

This is my view for the topic. I wish to invite @goodybest, @alexanderpeace, @chant.
