The heavily populated island of Puerto Rico has developed from a rural into a manufacturing economy with the political status of commonwealth.Religion and poverty have strongly influenced family-planning policies. The legalization of birth control in 1937 and subsequent implementation of a family-planning program were opposed by the island's Catholic bishops; but lack of education about birth control, government inaction, and conflicting values have also hindered progress in family planning. Religious opposition and lack of education about family planning have diminished considerably,and the implementation of voluntary family-planning programs is the next order of business. Puerto Rico's economy is continuing to grow, but at a slower rate than the population, and widespread birth control is necessary to maintain the present standard of living.
