Innovative ideas to meet Family Planning Challenges in India
India is presently the second most populated country in the world. According to an UN report if the population of India keeps on increasing at this pace then by 2028, it will be more than that of China. Family planning is one of the biggest challenges being faced by India today. Everything from GDP to poverty to sustainable development is related to the size of families. The more the people, the more will be the distribution, the smaller will be the individual’s share and there will be lesser left for the future. Therefore family planning is a wholesome package; it improves the economics of a family as well as the country and in minute way for the world also. The government of India has been trying to solve this problem since a long time by launching various programmes and missions and has been

Mostly poorer families generally prefer having larger families so that the number of helping hands can increase. But the fact which they do not realise is that increasing the size of the family does not only increase the number of helping hands but also the number of stomachs.
The solution to the problem of population growth is family planning. Family planning refers to planning the overall growth of the family. It includes planning when to have children, the no.of children, methods of birth control,etc.
Family planning can only be achieved if our government becomes stricter about its laws. Although there are laws of minimum age for marriage still one-fourth of India marries before that age. The law exists for the overall development of the society and if punishment develops the society why not punish? Nobody cares what the law is till they are punished. The law of minimum age exists for a reason. Till the time the government doesn’t implemented its laws properly family planning is
One of the most effective and crucial programs for women’s health is currently under attack by the so-called president of the United States, Donald Trump. In an attempt to convince the people that he is willing to stand up for everyone, including the unborn, but instead, Mr. Trump is oppressing women and taking away their rights as human beings. Without Planned Parenthood, 2.5 million men and women would be left without affordable, high-quality health care. One in five women have visited a Planned Parenthood in their lifetime. The fact that all of the care and help Planned Parenthood gives can all be lost due to something as petty as abortion services is almost laughable.
There are two very distinct sides that continuously argue over the funding for planned parent, both sides present very well organized arguments; however, there is pros and cons to both sides. One might ask what exactly is Planned Parenthood. Several people are under the impression that this program only deals with abortion; but, this is wrong. Activist that support Planned Parenthood believe that it is the government’s responsibility to provide government aid to help assist the noninsured deal with the conflicts that are a result of giving birth. Those who are against the government providing funds for to help the program Planned Parenthood, tend to be pro-life activist, who are against abortions.
Contraception is still a problem of preventing a potential future of a value of life. If consider the process of contraception. There are for stages of subjects (sperm, ovum, sperm ovum separately, and sperm ovum together), so there are a lot possible that harm too many futures that may occur. The question on contraception seems to challenge the future-like-ours arguments given by the essay. This is a misleading question, because the amount of sperm is quite large, and contraception does not create a combination.
In the American Politics Today, text book, a public policy is described as, “a course of action pursued by government to address a specific problem” (Bianco and Canon 413). Planned Parenthood Action Fund is a policy that is considered a national nonprofit organization and according to the website that they own, “the Action Fund is the nonpartisan advocacy and political arm of Planned Parenthood Federation of America” (PlannedParenthood). The organization provides certain free services to men and women who are over the age of ten and are American citizens. Adults seeking free Planned Parenthood service must not make over 200% of the federal poverty level, but anyone under the age of twenty-one automatically qualifies, no matter their parents’
Many parents in the world today still plan marriages for their children. For example, the members of Indian culture still practices arranged
Population Trend (Demographic Transition Model) - There are 5 stages in population trend - Stage 1: High fluctuating – easy to get infected by the diseases, huger and natural hazards. (Ex. Tribes in Amazon) - Stage 2: Early expanding – having a more stabilized life, which having access to the basic supplies. (Ex. Very impoverished country) - Stage 3: Late expanding – most low-income countries. - Stage 4: Low fluctuating – most middle and high-income countries.
Planned Parenthood is a program that has been helping people pay for essential procedures without a large fee. It should continue to be covered by the government because of the immense help it has offered people for years. As well as the cost is being funded by Title X which is helping other healthcare organizations across the United States. Planned Parenthood, as well as a negative misconception, is that they only help with abortions. Planned Parenthood helps with anything like educating people about their health.
Malthus’s Essay on the Principle of Population was an influential essay that proposed a systematic theoretical approach to population. Malthus had collected empirical data and proposed that human population growth increases at an exponential rate. Whereas, the production of food increases at an arithmetic rate. This means that in the long run arithmetic food growth coupled with an exponential growth of human population would lead to a future where humans have little to no resources to survive on. To avoid this Malthusian catastrophe, Malthus argued for controls on population through preventative and positive checks.
The term “pro-choice” has fallen out of favor when the American public. Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) recently discovered that the word just does not seem to have the power to motivate the general population in the way it did when it was first coined. And while other pro-abortion groups may continue to use it, Planned Parenthood is attempting to cast a wider net by abandoning it all together. In the modern media culture, the term “pro-choice” has been used for everything from abortion-on-demand to giving parents the option to choosing what kind of school their child can attend throughout their life.
The anti-birth control argument is less centered on the actual effects and functions of birth control and instead focuses on more religious and moral arguments. The primary argument is that birth control violates “God’s plan” for a person’s life. Contraception prevents pregnancy and thus, in the eyes of some individuals, prevents the creation and start of life. Some individuals also say that contraception makes sex a more casual act. It makes sex outside of marriage much easier and makes the act something that can be done purely for enjoyment.
For instance, if “people become confident of their children's survival, than childbirth rates will drop.” (Gale, Population Growth, Environmental Encyclopedia) Besides the fact that most believe that developed countries attribute to the population growth the most, which is a misconception. Undeveloped countries are, in fact, the main contributor to the rising population rate. Most families “in poor countries often have five to ten children,” (Gale, Population Growth, Environment Encyclopedia) to insure that they have someone to take care for them in their old age. By aiding undeveloped countries, eventually they will grow to be confident that their children will survive and the numbers will decrease further.
Eugenics is the science of using artificial selection to improve genetic features of the population. It is thought that improvement of the human race can be seen through sterilization of people who exhibit undesirable traits and selective breeding. Often called Social Darwinism, the concept was widely accepted during the time of World War I. It quickly became a taboo after World War II when Nazi Germany used it as an excuse for genocide. The thought of improving the human race by manipulating who is allowed to breed can either be appalling or compelling.
Families can be regarded as the foundation of society. For Fleetwood (2012: 1), the importance of families is highlighted by the fact that it would be difficult to comprehend a society that could function without them. In addition, even though families and their compositions vary across societies and cultures, the family can be viewed as a universal social institution (Macionis & Plummer, 2012: 625. Specifically, according to Macionis and Plummer (2012: 625) and Neale (2000:1), it has the ability to unite individuals into cooperative groups via social bonds (kinship) and is ultimately experienced differently from individual to individual. However, the family can be a source of conflict, tension and inequality, which is why one of the key practices
Introduction Overpopulation is the excessive population of an area to the point of overcrowding and it is an undesirable condition in every country where the number of existing human population rises to an extent exceeding the carrying capacity of ecological setting. Overpopulation can be result from an increase in births, an increase in immigration, a decline in mortality rates and other factors that may cause overpopulated environment. Therefore, this can cause influence as lack of the available essential materials for survival like water, shelter, social amenities and other because of the numbers of people might be more than the materials for survival. In such condition, this regularly contributes to environmental deterioration, worsening
Teenage pregnancy is becoming a societal problem that branches out to other problems that it is caused for the growth of poverty rate in different baranggays. One of the reasons why teenagers are already aware with this topic is because of media. They get a higher knowledge to sex from the magazines, TV shows, internet, movies and other
