Social change caused by industrialization and urbanization as well as by cultural and political modernization provoked a re-configuration of family conceptions.

Tracing Social Change: “Family Planning” since the 19th Century

The demand to determine the number of offspring became a major political claim of women’s rights movements before it became part of “normality” within family life. “Family planning” as a practice was hence a result of value changes caused by social changes: since then, it developed step-by-step from a significant individual practice to a human right. During social, political, and economic crises and periods of rapid social change, “family planning” has become a target of political attacks, for example as revealed by the new Polish anti-abortion law and discussion about sexual education.
