title: [Responsible parenthood and attitude to procreation].
abstract: A study of what responsible parenthood means for 137 university female students and 142 working class women was made. Using a modification of the semantic differential measuring scale, 10 questions were made to explore if responsible parenthood means personal development of children or family planning. Through factor analysis it was seen that for both groups the concept basically means to understand children better and to give them a better education. A minor percentage of university women answered about family planning. This work was due to help the Mexican Government Education Campaign to decrease birth rate in the country. Ways to improve this campaign are suggested taking as a base the results of this study.
