“…As the publication years indicate, most of the research has been conducted since 2000. In addition to the Taiwan and South Korea programs, there is evidence of voucher or coupon programs in the 1960s and 1970s operating in Antigua, Bangladesh, Colombia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Ghana, Iran, Malaysia, Tunisia, and Turkey; however, they were generally not well documented, a limitation that has been noted elsewhere (Harvey 1984;Anon 1974b;Cuca and Pierce 1977;Stycos and Mundigo 1974;Carranza 2010;Echeverry 1975;Fendall 1971;Treadway et al 1976;Population Council 1993;Anon 1975;Isaacs 1975;Lim 1974).…”

“…Since the 1960s more than 20 family planning programs in low‐ and middle‐income countries have used voucher subsidies to reach disadvantaged populations and improve access to contraception, particularly long‐acting methods (Harvey ; Anon ; Cuca and Pierce ; Stycos and Mundigo ; Carranza ; Echeverry ; Fendall ; Treadway et al. ; Population Council ; Anon ; Isaacs ; Lim ; Chow et al.…”

Family planning (FP) vouchers have targeted subsidies to disadvantaged populations for quality reproductive health services since the 1960s. To summarize the effect of FP voucher programs in low‐ and middle‐income countries, a systematic review was conducted, screening studies from 33 databases through three phases: keyword search, title and abstract review, and full text review. Sixteen articles were selected including randomized control trials, controlled before‐and‐after, interrupted time series analyses, cohort, and before‐and‐after studies. Twenty‐three study outcomes were clustered around contraceptive uptake, with study outcomes including fertility in the early studies and equity and discontinuation in more recent publications. Research gaps include measures of FP quality, unintended outcomes, clients’ qualitative experiences, FP voucher integration with health systems, and issues related to scale‐up of the voucher approach.

“…28 In Costa Rica, environmentalists concerned about high birth rates, poverty, and environmental devastation in the early to mid-1960s were instrumental in promoting IUDs and increasing demand and access. 29 Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico were notable exceptions to trends elsewhere in the region. The Peronist government in Argentina from 1973-1976, as a result of declining birth rates, took coercive measures to augment population growth and limit free access to birth control, policies that the military government continued.…”

Confronting Bolivia's "Lack of Demographic Capacity": Protonatalism in Post-Revolutionary Bolivia, 1950s-1970s

After coming to power in April 1952, the Movimiento Nacionalista Revolucionario (MNR) looked to address Bolivia’s economic problems, in part, through initiatives encouraging population growth. A 1953 report highlighted underpopulation as a cause of Bolivia’s limited economic potential. The solution to Bolivia’s “lack of demographic capacity” was public health measures that would lower morbidity and mortality rates and encourage reproduction to boost the country’s human capital. This article analyzes prevalent pronatalist tendencies in the MNR government, including positive eugenics and criticism of birth control, to demonstrate the centrality of population growth to the MNR’s political and economic agenda. At a time when other Latin American countries began implementing population control measures as a pathway to economic growth and political stability, as recommended by the United States and international organizations, Bolivia diverged from global discourses about overpopulation and embraced pronatalism. While the MNR welcomed some global development ideologies associated with modernization, they rejected population control and reframed population debates towards population growth and demographic reorganization. They married pronatalism with a modernizing agenda and revolutionary nationalism, demonstrating that MNR policies were fundamentally conservative on matters of reproduction and gender roles.

“…En Costa Rica a partir de 1968 con el desarrollo del Plan Nacional de Educación Sexual y Planificación Familiar, se va a dar un proceso de institucionalización, ampliación y consolidación del servicio de planificación. El proceso histórico que forma la antesala de dicho Plan, así como los primeros años de su funcionamiento, han sido investigados anteriormente (Carranza, 2009(Carranza, , 2010Avendaño, 2002;González, 1985;Mayorga & Gutiérrez, 1973;Gamboa, 1969). La mayoría de las investigaciones se han concentrado en analizar cuantitativamente las estadísticas poblacionales (Carranza, 2005;Fonseca, 1974;Rosero, 1984;Robles y González, 2012).…”

Resumen: Este artículo tiene por objetivo examinar, en un corpus de fuentes periodísticas, folletos institucionales y documentos estatales, el proceso de formulación y ejecución del Plan Nacional de Adiestramiento Docente en temas de educación sexual en Costa Rica. En un contexto donde había una creciente demanda por la ampliación del aparato educativo nacional, la formación docente se vio afectada por la desprofesionalización y la resistencia al cambio. La implementación de la educación sexual conllevaba el desafío de adiestrar y capacitar primero a las personas adultas, antes de entrar directamente en las aulas. Se concluye que dicho plan presentaba un acercamiento entre el Estado y la Iglesia, con un enfoque que reforzaba valores tradicionales, la vida familiar y la normalidad sexual.
