| 520 | |a The measured success of family planning policy in the developing world rests on increases in the `modern' methods of contraception. By extension, `traditional' methods of contraception are equated with traditional mentalities and insufficient motivation to control fertility. But contraceptive use differentials in India suggest that in fact it is the most `modern' women (those with acollege education and living in urban areas) who are the most likely to use these traditional methods of birth control and to use them very efficiently as well. The paper locates this counterintuitive preference among urban, educated women in what may be called `ultramodern' attitudes to the body and to modern medicine and tries to situate such modernization in the contemporary developmental paradigm. Finally, the paper implies that population policy and Contraceptive research may be unduly attributing contraceptive ineffectiveness to the users of traditional birth control today. | ||
