Family Planning in Rural and Urban Areas of the SR Croatia
Dubravka Štampar
Abstract
In this article the authoress
presents the results of a research
project into fertility in Yugoslavia,
which was carried out at the end
of 1976 on a random sample of
married women between the ages
of 15 and 49. The data shown here
refer to the SR Croatia.
The tables show the women's
attitudes towards the desired and
ideal number of children, their
knowledge and application of
family planning and their attitudes
towards abortion. All the tables
give indicators both for rural and
urban regions.
The analysis shows that the »ideal«
number of children in both rural
and urban regions is somewhat
higher than the desired, i. e. the
planned number, which is almost
the same as the number of
liveborn children. Furthermore,
traditional methods of family
planning are widely used both
in rural and urban regions,
although a trend towards more
modern methods of family planning
can be felt in urban regions.
