Definition of Family planning
Family planning is “the ability of individuals and couples to anticipate and attain their desired number of children and the spacing and timing of their births. It is achieved through use of contraceptive methods and the treatment of involuntary infertility.“
Note

●Things that may play a role on family planning decisions (highly variable from person to person): marital situation, career or work considerations, financial situations.
