Mexico, has seen population doubling from 1980-2030 rom 70mil to 140mil. But were not happy they instituted Family Planning & ready access birth control? It's certainly worked, one can only say emphatically yes. d.umn.edu Due to a government sponsored family planning program, Mexfam (The Mexican Family Planning Association), the national population growth rate has decreased from 3.5% and 7.2 children/mother in the 1960's to 1.4% and 2.4 children/mother in 1999. Approximately 70% of Mexican women use some form of birth control. In spite of these promising numbers contraceptive use in rural areas is still far lower than that of urban areas. Approximately 25% of Mexican women live in rural areas and of that 25% only 44% of those use birth control and their fertility rate, 4.7%, is almost twice that of urban women. Research has shown that the biggest indicator of contraceptive use in rural Mexico is education. Women with no formal education are half as likely to use birth control as the educated women.
