Family planning has been cited as essential to the achievement of Millennium Development Goals (MDG). Family planning has a direct impact on women's health and consequence of each pregnancy. The use of modern contraception among Asian women is less than global average. In Asia a majority of unintended pregnancies are due to using traditional contraceptive or no methods which lead to induced unsafe abortion. Cultural attitudes, lack of knowledge of methods and reproduction, socio demographic factors, and health service barriers are the main obstacles to modern contraceptive practice among Asian women. Culturally sensitive family planning program, reforming health system, and reproductive health education through mass media to create awareness of the benefits of planned parenthood are effective strategies to improve modern contraceptive practice among Asian women.
计划生育被认为是实现千年发展目标（MDG）的关键要素。计划生育对妇女健康以及每次怀孕的后果有着直接影响。亚洲女性现代避孕方法的使用率低于全球平均水平。在亚洲，大多数意外怀孕是由于使用传统避孕方法或未采取任何避孕措施，这导致了不安全的人工流产。文化观念、对避孕方法和生殖知识的缺乏、社会人口因素以及卫生服务障碍是亚洲女性采用现代避孕措施的主要障碍。开展具有文化敏感性的计划生育项目、改革卫生系统以及通过大众媒体进行生殖健康教育以提高对计划生育益处的认识，是改善亚洲女性现代避孕措施使用情况的有效策略。
