In any modern society, the importance of birth control programs has been approved. In fact, for prevailing welfare, it seems obligatory to control the number of births and prohibit numerous children within a single family. Therefore, Iranian government has adopted some policies for controlling birth rate. These policies have led to some good results, e.g. a general welfare. But it is causing a bad effect as well, i.e. an increase in the number of uncivilized people.
The Iranian government has given some facilities, such as free medical services and contraception devices. These facilities are given in all medical centers in the country. The government has also limited some social services for the families that exceed a defined number of children, e.g. state insurance services are given just to the first three children of the family and no more. The government has also worked on the culture of the society; in the first ten years after the revolution, the idea of 'the more the better' had been widely spread, causing a sudden raise of the population. So approximately in the second decade after the revolution, the government started an effort to prevail a new idea, i.e. there is not any difference between a male and female child, two is enough.
As a result of birth rate control programs in the last decade, more young people are getting job day to day, i.e. more people are getting jobs everyday, causing the people become more financially affording. Moreover, the health rate of the society has been increased. Also in the next decade, the crowdedness in the society will decrease. Then you can go through cities more easily than now, and you will be more comfortable after twenty years and more. With all of these the society becomes more lively and joyful.
These policies have also caused a negative effect, i.e. a raise in the number of uncivilized people. These people can be regarded as not educated and in accord with socially acceptable manners.In other words they are not culturally advanced. These kinds of families care less about birth rate control than refined ones. Hence, the number of this kind of people increases. As a result, they have lots of children whom they can't civilize, educate and train properly. Conversely, the educated and civilized people try to have fewer children, thus, making the number of their kind less. This leads to formation of an uncivilized,uncultured and unsophisticated society.
We have seen then, the policies that the government has adopted for birth rate management have caused some good results like a general welfare which has made or will make the society happier, healthier and prosperous. The bad effect of raising the number of uneducated and uncivilized persons is also a sub- effect of these policies. So, it seems that the program should be scaled to make more opportunities for refined families to have even more children, while it restricts uncivilized families in having more than a limited number of children.
