Book Description
The study assesses the impact of family planning programs on the fertility of women in the Chiang Mai province of Thailand, where family planning programs were introduced early in 1963. The study documents and estimates the fertility trend of Chiang Mai's population from existing sources of data. A demographic survey, in which a random sample of 3,805 ever married women from both urban and rural areas were interviewed using the World Fertility Survey questionnaire, was conducted. The socioeconomic characteristics and attitudes towards family size of Chiang Mai's urban and rural population are compared. The findings show that fertility has fallen rapidly in all sectors of the population and the decline is attributed to the introduction of family planning programs. The study concludes that family planning programs are one of the best possible means of slowing population growth rates to desired low levels in both urban and rural population. (SY)
Thailand's Reproductive Revolution

Book Description
In the 1980s, Thailand experienced a remarkable revolution in reproductive behavior, resulting in a rapidly declining fertility rate. The authors of this book follow an unusual approach that combines qualitative and quantitative methods to explore the reasons for this decline. Their work makes possible a thorough understanding, in demographic, socioeconomic, and cultural terms, of a phenomenon of critical importance to Developing World population trends and development. The Thai experience is an especially important case study in part because its fertility decline took place while the country was still at only a moderate stage of socioeconomic development and because the changes in reproductive behavior and attitudes have been so pervasive, permeating almost all segment so of Thai society. The authors have amassed an impressive amount of data, which they present and interpret in the clearest of terms, in forming what will certainly be the standard work on this topic, of interest and value to demographers and all others concerned with Developing World problems.
