Abstract

This article compares the fertility pattern and the attitudes towards family planning in two culturally and geographically different societies, the growing slum area in Calcutta, India and Taita-Taveta, an agricultural area under high population pressure in Kenya. The studies are partly demographic and partly based on in-depth interviews.
