[Ethical issues in family planning].

Birth control is truly a basic human right. Individuals should freely make their own decision whether to accept the technology of contraception. Policies should be based on both consensus and logical consideration without coercion or regulation. On the contrary, introduction rationale and careful evaluation should be undertaken before implementing policies into action. The relevance of the policies should be considered in the cultural context, which varies from society to society. The concept of including ethical issues when planning birth control programs is encountered worldwide. This article aims to investigate crucial attempts in bringing out ethics and feasibility as a key issue and at what level the matter is given serious consideration.

[Women, development and population in Latin America].

Women's situation as defined according to cultural factors which are present both in the division of labor by sex and in the power relationships, has its own specificities in the different social groups of a society. This happens for material reasons as well as because prevalent ideologies vary, among the different groups, from very traditional models of sexual roles to others which allow a greater flexibility in these roles. The consequences are reflected in the reproductive behavior. A woman's social insertion affects her specific situation, through a set of closely related variables: the educational opportunities, the quantity and characteristics of the domestic work they must carry out and the opportunities to participate in paid work. These variables influence demographic behavior through the age at 1st marriage, infant mortality, the values assigned to children and the capacity of taking reproductive decisions. In order to improve the situation of poorer women it is necessary that the economic, social and cultural development give special benefits to that sector, greater educational opportunities which could lead to possibilities of stable and well remunerated work. In these conditions women could achieve a greater self-determination to establish more equitable conjugal relationships and to decide with more freedom the number of their children.
