Abstract:
A study on 332,966 couples in the reproductive age showed that women were taking heavier responsibility for applying contraceptive methods than their men. The abortion rate in the communities of Thai Binh was quite high (0.85 case of abortion per one case of delivery). The unbalance in gender of newborns is becoming a serious and urgent social issue (boy to girl ratio is 121/100 in newborns).
