Fertility and family planning in Fiji

In order to reduce the birth rate, Fijian government has set up fertility control programmes 20 years ago. In spite of these efforts,
the birth rate has not changed since 1977, it has even increased among Indians, because of the resistance of traditional values
and of indirect results of modernisation: erosion of the periods of postpartum abstinence, and decreasing of breastfeeding, but
also because of the imperfections of the family planning.
