Birth control in China
In 1983, China set out to teach birth control to its rural population. Doctors appeared on television and demonstrated the use of condoms and birth control pills.
A mere year later, birth rates INCREASED and the program was declared a "complete fiasco."
After a survey was taken, the cause of the program's failure became apparent. 79% of MEN were taking birth control pills, and 98% of men were putting condoms on their fingers--just like they saw in the TV demonstrations.
