The interplay of socio-political forces, cultural process, value transformation and dynamics of development have aimed to strike a balance between empirical observation of population and reproductive health. That is, development is not an end in itself but a condition of reality. Thus, the centrality of the notion of reproductive health is located in the dynamics of population, development and reproductive behaviour. Along these lines, this book explores a wide range of issues in meaning with specific variables, questions the level of its validity and locates them within the wider perspectives of the society, culture and development. Using this pattern, this book critically appraises the state of research in the theme, re-examines the old problems and opens up new thinking of inquiry.
