Addressing Overpopulation and Voluntary Family Planning in Modern Politics
1 Like
Voluntary family planning is essential for individuals to achieve their desired family size and control the timing of pregnancies. Legal obligations, as outlined in international treaties and national laws, mandate affordable and timely access to family planning services and contraceptives. It plays a pivotal role in curbing unsustainable population growth, mitigating its adverse effects on the economy, environment, and regional development. Investments in family planning are a long-term solution to address overpopulation, which impacts various facets of society. The unmet need for contraception, particularly among vulnerable groups, remains a global concern. Aligning with Sustainable Development Goals, family planning contributes to economic, environmental, and developmental objectives. Experts, including UN agency members, can further explore this critical topic.
