Abstract

Pakistan is a divided country with different religious groups represented. Since independence in 1941 the Muslim population has increased more rapidly than the Hindu population the West Pakistan population more rapidly and steadily than the East Pakistan population. In the late 1950s the Pakistan government initiated a family planning program. The program has trained medical and paramedical personnel in family planning added family planning services to existing medical centers planned for a National Research Institute of Family Planning employed mobile units to reach outlying areas conducted limited clinical studies on some contraceptives and used mass media advertising. Only India and Japan are doing more with government-sponsored family planning. A weak organizational structure and an inadequate number of trained personnel are the main weakness of the program. It is too early to assess the success of the program. A 10-point reduction in annual birth rates will be considered successful.
巴基斯坦的人口和人口政策。
巴基斯坦是一个分裂的国家,有不同的宗教团体。自1941年独立以来,穆斯林人口比印度教徒人口增长得更快,西巴基斯坦人口比东巴基斯坦人口增长得更快、更稳定。20世纪50年代末,巴基斯坦政府启动了一项计划生育计划。该方案对计划生育方面的医务人员和辅助医务人员进行了培训,在计划为国家计划生育研究所设立的现有医疗中心增加了计划生育服务,雇用流动小组前往边远地区,对某些避孕药具进行有限的临床研究,并利用大众媒体做广告。只有印度和日本在政府资助的计划生育方面做得更好。薄弱的组织结构和训练有素的人员数量不足是该计划的主要弱点。现在评价这个项目是否成功还为时过早。年出生率降低10个百分点将被视为成功。
