The role of women in development frequently gets less attention, including their role in the demographic bonus. The demographic bonus has been created because more than half of the wives of young couples have been willing to join family planning programs since the 1970s.

It started from an elderly couple who had plenty of children and wanted to end the birth of their children due to childbirth fatigue, declining health and the condition of their children, who were neglected. The behavior was transmitted to young couples and in line with the theory of Ansely Coale (1973), couples realized and started to calculate that having less children is beneficial, the concept of small families is accepted by society and the number of ideal children of two or three was achieved through the use of contraception.
