Abstract

Population explosion is one of the serious social issues that has direct effect on the prosperity of any nation in the world. For maintenance balance between population and resources, various countries, mostly, developed have formulated family planning programs. As Pakistan's population has surpassed 225 million, the country's family planning policy has been unable to substantially boost contraceptive use. This study has tended to focus on service and awareness delivery failures, ‘religious, cultural' hurdles, and variable political backing to analyses the hurdles. The first approach is to raise awareness about the health concerns of multiple pregnancies in a short period. Women who are more aware of the reduced health risks associated with spacing children are more likely to begin utilizing contraception. It is critical to target men as well as women while doing awareness-raising initiatives.
