The Impact of Family Planning and Reproductive Health on Women's Lives: A Conceptual Framework

The framework examines women's use and non-use of family planning, their pregnancy and childbearing experiences, their experiences with family planning programs, and their experiences with other reproductive health services. Also, the framework looks at three domains of women's lives: household and family roles, psychological and physical factors, and societal and economic roles. The framework includes three sets of factors that influence women's experiences, including gender norms, life cycle, and socioeconomic and political factors.
