The main purpose of theis study is to assess the effects of the interaction patterns between family planning workers and potential clients upon acceptance of family planning. This study was carried out as a part of an inter-country collaborative study and guided by UN-ESCAP in 1991. For data collection, a random sampling procedure was applied in picking up the final units of areas(nine "dongs" in Choonchon city, one county in Kyeonggi Province and two counties in Kangwon Province) 1,383 married eligible women, and 66 family planning workers in these areas were interviewed
With the succesful national family planning program and rapid socio-economic advancement since 1962, the contraceptive prevalence rate has risen from 9 percent in 1964 to 79 persent in 1991, with the corresponding total fertility rate(TFR) going from 6.0 in 1960 to 1.6 in 1988 which is considerably below the replacement fertility rate. The main purpose of this study is therefore, to identify the structural and causal factors that contributed to the fall in fertility over the last three decades, in an effort to formulate future population policy directions and strategies.
