- W287271310 abstract "At 4%, Kenya's growth rate a decade ago was thought to be the highest in the world. The latest Demographic and Health Survey, however, records a 33% decline in the country's total fertility rate over 15 years, which is one of the most precipitous declines ever measured. This decline was caused by several factors. Traditionally, Kenyans associated large families with wealth, prosperity, and old-age security. Now the traditional family has been reshaped by Western influences such as monogamy, Western medicine, and an emphasis on expensive formal education. The Kenyan government began to try to foster a demographic transition since 1948, but by 1977 only 7% of married women used contraceptives. Once family planning (FP) programs began to decentralize and find more effective ways of distributing contraceptives, however, that figure rose to 34%. With the spread of AIDS, the condom has become an important contraceptive, but the most popular methods are oral and injectable contraceptives. To reach the population with unmet needs (26% of women would like to space their children and 52% wish to stop child bearing), the government has adopted a program of community-based distribution which also used IEC (information, education, and communication) techniques to provide sex education to adolescents. The goals of increasing access to formal education and increasing the length of primary education have also contributed to smaller family sizes. While success has undoubtedly been made, further changes in Kenya's FP program, including providing services to adolescents and targeting men, will broaden its reach. The situation in Kenya has shown that FP progress need not await economic prosperity." @default.
