title: Cash payments for family planning in Bangladesh.
abstract: The author reviews results from a compensation payments study commissioned by the government of Bangladesh and the World Bank.  "The study is a unique attempt to assess empirically the merits and demerits of financial payments to promote contraceptive adoption.  While many of the findings and interpretations apply to the specific context of Bangladesh, the implications for progamme management and for the understanding of reproductive decision making are much wider.  The purpose of this article is to report a few key findings of the study and their implications."
