Unwanted Fertility Among the Poor: An Inequity?

In February, the World Health Organization (WHO) came out with its most recent 2007 bulletin, entitled "Unwanted Fertility Among the Poor: An Inequity?" The paper's objective is to determine if higher fertility and lower contraceptive use among the poorer segments of society should be considered an inequality, reflecting a higher desire for large families among the poor, or an inequity, a product of the poor being prevented from achieving their desired fertility to the same degree as wealthier segments of society.
