Performance of Family Planning Field Officers can be seen by achieving the number of TFR, in accordance with the national target of 2.4. The total TFR of Sibolga city in 2016 was 2.6. Sibolga City is a city that consists of 4 districts and 17 villages. Sibolga City has 31 Family Planning Field Officers. The purpose of this study is to determine the performance of Family Planning Field Officers to reduce the total fertility rate. This type of research is qualitative with a phenomology approach. The results shows that the performance of Family Planning Field Officers in Population Control and Family Planning Department of Sibolga City PPKB Office is still not optimal. This is marked by the performance evaluation carried out and monitored only through social media chat groups, but the implementation of direct monitoring is still not good, there are gaps in report data in the field found by the difference in the number of Family Planning participants in the field with the number of Family Planning participants in Population Control and Family Planning Department Office, delays in sending reports, the number of human resources has exceeded the provisions but the TFR target has not been achieved, PLKB skills in counseling are still lacking, Population Control and Family Planning Department work discipline is still often violating things such as being late for work and leaving the workplace without a clear reason. This study recommends that Population Control and Family Planning Department conduct routine monitoring of Population Control and Family Planning Department in the Family Planning Health Center, provide training to PLKB in terms of counseling, give rewards to the districts with the lowest TFR, conduct scheduled outreach to the community regarding family planning programs in terms of reduction TFR number.

Indonesia experienced a change in the organization of the Family Planning (FP) Program from centralized to a decentralized one. This article aims to compare various Indonesia’s FP policies, implemented by the National Population and Family Planning Board (NPFPB), in each era of governance, and their respective Total Fertility Rate (TFR) and Population Growth Rate (PGR) achievements. We reviewed FP programs from Soekarno’s presidency until Joko Widodo’s presidency (1983-2018). The centralization approached was implemented during the Soekarno’s and Soeharto’s presidency, while the decentralization has been implemented since Habibie’s and Joko Widodo’s presidency. The centralization approach in Soeharto’s presidency had succeeded in lowering the TFR and become success story of the FP program. In contrast, the decentralization approach has not reached its target since it has impacted the organizational structure and family planning programs and their achievements through every new presidency. The decentralization also changed the communication role in the declining TFR and PGR era in each presidency in Indonesia.

It is commonplace that population growth looms large in the complex of problems associated with economic and social development. This is true in Pakis¬tan as elsewhere and the Third Five Year Plan has faced_up squarely to (his issue. This article will review the population policy contained in the Plan and its support¬ing documents. Our analysis is sometimes critical but never unsympathetic. The planners in Pakistan have recognized the importance of population control and the present Plan devotes considerable resources to this goal. For this they deserve only praise. However, critical analysis of the Family Planning Scheme by interest¬ed but objective observers may still serve a useful purpose. The Plan's basic statement on population deserves to be quoted to start our analysis: The size of population, estimated at 112 million for 1965, is expected to grow at an annual compound rate of about 2.6 per cent during the Perspective Plan (1965-1985). With the planned improvement in health facilities and nutri¬tional standards, the mortality rate is likely to decline fairly rapidly. Unless it is checked by a fall in the fertility rate, the population growth rate could easily be pushed beyond 3 per cent per annum. If this happens, population will double itself by 1985. Such an increase would defeat any attempts to raise per capita incomes by a significant amount. One of the basic assump¬tions of the present projections is that the rate of growth of population will decline after 1975 owing to a decrease in the fertility rate. In other words, it is assumed that declining fertility will more than offset declining mortal¬ity. The population in 1985 is thus projected at 187 million. A vigorous and broadly based programme of family planning is, therefore, an intergral part of the strategy for the Perspective Plan [44, p. 24].

AbstractThis commentary is intended to take China as a case to discuss the mission of the family planning program under low fertility scenario. After a brief review of the initiation of family planning program in the 1970s, as well as the reorientation of family planning program since ICPD in 1994, it will focus on the new mission for the family planning program under low fertility scenario in the twenty-first century, in particular concerning the issue of induced abortion among the others. Given the enormous evidence of unmet needs in reproductive health as identified in the discussion, it is argued that family planning programmes are in fact even more needed than ever before under low-fertility scenario, and should not be abandoned but strengthened, which clearly has nothing to do to call back to the program for population control in the 1970s–1980s, and nor even go back to the program for “two reorientations” in the 1990s, but to aim to serving the people to fulfill their reproductive health and reproductive rights in light of ICPD and SDGs, and to become truly integral component of “Healthy China 2030” Strategy.

This study has two main objectives. The first is to explain the achievement of the value of Total Fertility Rate (TFR) in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY). The second is to explain the population control policy after the increase in TFR in DIY results of the 2017 IDHS. The population control policy taken by the DIY government comes from the Grand Design of Population Development document published by the People's Welfare Bureau. The method used in this study is library research. The analyst uses qualitative descriptive. The results showed that according to IDHS data, there had been fluctuations in the value of TFR during 1991-2017. In the last ten years, the pattern of TFR values in DIY has tended to increase. Population control is necessary to prevent this tendency. The policies taken by the government in the future in terms of population control in DIY include suppressing population growth rates, maturing marital age, controlling the value of TFR, and increasing the prevalence of contraception. The DIY government will implement at least this policy until 2035.

There are numerous reasons why Latin Americans do not place a high priority on the control of their hitherto unprecedented rate of population growth. Some of these are known and discussed at length in the United States. Others seem more difficult for us to understand. They are usually little discussed and if they are, find little sympathy. This article focuses on these little discussed reasons. In order to improve communications between our nation and Latin America, it is important that we see population growth and its meaning as it appears to Latin Americans for whom the implications of large-scale demographically-effective family planning programs are very different from our own.

This article examines family planning during the Emergency in India, drawing upon the archive of the Shah Commission of Inquiry. It aims, primarily, to understand why family planning became such an important point of state intervention during the Emergency, when millions were sterilized. I argue that family planning was intended as a technocratic fix for the problem of poverty and that, although the family planning program existed before the Emergency, it received a fillip through Indira Gandhi's Emergency-era push for poverty eradication thanks to the established position of population control as a prerequisite for economic development. Secondly, it aims to understand how the Emergency and sterilization have become conflated in popular memory, such that the driving forces of poverty eradication and economic development have dropped out of the story altogether. The link between poverty eradication and population control has been forgotten, and a narrative of arbitrary family planning “excess” endured.

SummaryThis paper examines the changing nuptiality pattern of rural China, particularly rural Anhui in relation to the planned social changes since 1949 and their effect on fertility. The data are from the 1/1000 Fertility Survey of China, conducted by the Family Planning Commission in 1982. Before the family planning programme was introduced to rural Anhui (1972), the changing nuptiality pattern was indirectly affected by the planned social changes; after 1972, the substantial increase in age at first marriage was mainly due to the family planning programme. More recently, the centrally controlled social structure is loosening, due to the economic reform and the nuptiality pattern seems to join the 1972 trend, suggesting that the dramatic change of nuptiality pattern during the early 1970s to early 1980s was a temporary one. But its effect on fertility is clear, and the shortening interval between marriage and first birth may bring difficulties for future population control in rural China.
