An analysis of the relationship between desired family size and family planning practices was conducted on a probability sample of 1600 currently married women from a rural area of East Pakistan. Results indicated that women whose desired family size is equal to or less than their actual family size have significantly greater frequencies practicing family planning than women whose desired size exceeds their actual size. This relationship generally persisted while controlling upon selected social and demographic factors. Thus, to reduce levels of reproduction through practice of family planning more attention must be given to the affects of family size norms and the factors related to these norms.
