Abstract
This thesis analyses the effect of the prevalence of family planning on the three dimensions of the Human Development Index (HDI) in low income countries. The sample consists of 75 countries with annual data from 1990-2018. Empirics indicate that falling fertility rates, due to increased availability and use of family planning, should increase GNI per capita, education and health. The outputs from the panel regression models provided a significant effect on GNI per capita but unmeaningful results for the effect on education and health.
