[Education and family planning in the urban sector].
In Latin America the traditional structures of the family are disintegrating mainly because of very rapid urbanization unemployment and poverty. Family planning which could contribute to better living conditions is a fundamental human right which too few women can avail themselves of since services are seldom available. Integration of family planning services into maternal and child health services rarely exist. Moreover, health education only concerns women when, in this matter, decision should be taken by the couple. Finally, primary health care services which entail the active participation of the community are very rare in urban areas. Many obstacles hamper the development of family planning because Latin American facts of life are too often disregarded.
