Family Planning: A health and development issue, a key intervention for the survival of women and children
Available research shows that contraception has a striking impact on the lives of women in terms of both improved survival and empowerment. Without access to family planning, women are trapped in a vicious cycle that inhibits their full participation in socioeconomic development. This policy brief summarizes evidence on multiple benefits of family planning: both in health and survival and socioeconomic development of populations, supporting the conviction that family planning should have a much higher profile in international health priorities than it presently occupies.
