Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A review of the literature from the past 10 years on men and reproductive health in Pakistan revealed only seven major studies. Overall, these studies indicate that Pakistani men are similar to women in terms of their fertility preferences, attitudes, and knowledge of family planning. Men are generally supportive of family planning and may even view specific methods more positively than women. Unclear, however, are the factors underlying large discrepancies between husbands' and wives' reports of family planning communication and decision making as well as contraceptive use. Reliance on withdrawal and condoms has increased in recent years to represent 50% of contraceptive usage, but vasectomy remains an underutilized option. The sources of men's family planning knowledge and supplies in Pakistan have not been investigated. Several studies have revealed very low awareness levels among men of both male and female reproductive health. Despite a demand for greater male involvement in family planning, programming in this area has been limited and awarded a low priority. Vasectomy remains the least publicized contraceptive option in Pakistan. Although more large-scale surveys on men and reproductive health would be useful, there is a particular need for anthropological studies capable of providing insight into complex issues such as how men and women negotiate contraceptive use, the reproductive health problems that concern Pakistani men, their preferred sources of family planning information, and ways in which men may be impeding fertility control efforts.

Download or read book Family Planning in the Legacy of Islam written by Abdel-Rahim Omran and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-09-10 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How has the Islamic view of marriage, family formation and child rearing developed and adapted over the centuries? Is contraception just permitted or actively encouraged? The family is the basic social unit of Islamic society. Even without compelling population pressures, there has been concern with spacing and family planning. This book is the result of a massive research project, gathering fourteen centuries (the seventh to the twentieth) of views on family formation and planning, as expressed by leading Islamic theologians and jurists. The work has been discussed and shaped at each stage by a committee of Islamic experts representing the majority of the Muslim countries. The book provides a much needed source of reference and will be of equal value and interest to professionals in health care and development work and to those working in the academic disciplines of Middle East studies, religion and population studies.

Download or read book The Effect of Family Planning Exposure on Fertility Choices and Reproductive Health Care in Rural Pakistan written by Qaisar Khan and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates whether family planning exposure, specifically the Lady Health Worker Program (LHWP), has any effect on women's fertility choice and utilization of reproductive health care in rural Pakistan. Exploiting variations in program exposure across regions, this paper presents reduced form and instrumental variables estimates of the impact of family planning exposure on women's fertility choice and reproductive health care utilization. The analysis suggests that, even in the presence of strong son preferences, increasing family planning exposure reduces the probability of women to have another child. Moreover, family planning exposure increases the probability of more antenatal care visits, more antenatal checkup by skilled professionals, and higher chance of delivery in health centers. Lastly, heterogeneity effect of family planning exposure in age and education is observed.

Download or read book Disease Control Priorities Third Edition Volume 2 written by Robert Black and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2016-04-11 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evaluation of reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health (RMNCH) by the Disease Control Priorities, Third Edition (DCP3) focuses on maternal conditions, childhood illness, and malnutrition. Specifically, the chapters address acute illness and undernutrition in children, principally under age 5. It also covers maternal mortality, morbidity, stillbirth, and influences to pregnancy and pre-pregnancy. Volume 3 focuses on developments since the publication of DCP2 and will also include the transition to older childhood, in particular, the overlap and commonality with the child development volume. The DCP3 evaluation of these conditions produced three key findings: 1. There is significant difficulty in measuring the burden of key conditions such as unintended pregnancy, unsafe abortion, nonsexually transmitted infections, infertility, and violence against women. 2. Investments in the continuum of care can have significant returns for improved and equitable access, health, poverty, and health systems. 3. There is a large difference in how RMNCH conditions affect different income groups; investments in RMNCH can lessen the disparity in terms of both health and financial risk.

Download or read book Girls Schooling Women s Autonomy and Fertility Change in South Asia written by Roger Jeffery and published by SAGE Publications Pvt. Limited. This book was released on 1996-08-05 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eleven articles explore the interrelated issues of women's autonomy, girls' schooling, and fertility reduction in South Asia. The contributors use census and survey data from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh to challenge the notion that there is a universal and causal relationship between rising levels of schooling and declining levels of fertility, and that schooling enhances female autonomy. The volume concludes that resources should be devoted to the spread of education, but not at the expense of contraceptive and maternal/child health services.
