The present study was initiated to determine the position of women in their families & their behaviour towards family planning in two districts (Nellore & Ananthpur) of Andhra Pradesh through multi-stage random sampling. The influences of variables such as education, occupation, income of women, succession to property, & son-preference, etc are also studied.
