| Abstract | This paper begins with a brief schematic account of certain initial thoughts on the main questionings of the concept of unmet needs in light of the two paradigms mentioned earlier: a) the conventional one underlying the anti-natalist position the population approach oriented mainly towards the expansion of contraceptive coverage to reduce fertility in which populations needs are basically defined in terms of the achievement of these objectives by State leaders FP program directors and service providers as well as by some academic researchers; in other words as part of the public realm and b) the reproductive health approach that favours the individuals perspective and the private sphere and focuses on reproductive rights and gender inequality conditions. In other words with a rationale based on individuals needs particularly those of women which do not necessarily coincide with those derived from public interests. In this paper both interpretations are drawn from the population studies field and from some of the contributions of feminist literature as well as from the Mexican experience. (excerpt) |
