Family planning is one of the major public health issues that have been the focus of national and international organizations. It is central to women's empowerment and equality. It is also a key factor to reduce poverty by controlling the population. This issue is prominent in developing countries mainly due to a lack of awareness. Organizations all over the world support family planning services through ensuring reliable health systems and providing effective and safe contraceptive methods. Family planning services allow the family members to decide their family size so that they can contribute to the economic empowerment of the country. Large family sizes are still common in developing countries with high rates of poverty, low education, conservative cultures, and economies that rely heavily on agriculture. However, many developing countries have been successful at reducing their population growth rates through effective family planning policies and services.
