The growing size of the human population is a cause of concern for all people. The rate of birth and death
in a given population will determine its size. Reproduction is the process by which organisms increase
their population. The process of sexual maturation for reproduction is gradual and takes place while
general body growth is still going on. Some degree of sexual maturation does not necessarily mean that
the mind or body is ready for sexual acts or for having and bringing up children. Various contraceptive
devices are being used by human beings to control the size of the population.
