These belief systems often play a significant role in shaping cultural identities, moral values, and community practices.

Limited Access to Contraception- Individuals or families facing economic challenges may have limited access to contraceptive methods due to financial constraints. The cost of contraceptives, healthcare services, or transportation to healthcare facilities can be barriers.

Educational Opportunities- Economic constraints may limit access to education, and education can play a crucial role in influencing family planning decisions. Educated individuals may be more likely to have access to information about contraception and family planning and may make different choices based on that knowledge.

Lack of Family Planning: Limited access to family planning resources and education can lead to unplanned pregnancies and larger family sizes. In some cases, there may be cultural or religious beliefs that discourage the use of contraceptives.
