Abstract
The family planning programme of the Republic of Korea has been quite successful, yet it has not been able to extend its services to all couples of childbearing age. For example, there still exists a group of couples who want no more children and yet are not currently using any contraceptive method. The word “pong-eem “, which literally means “being neglected”, i.e. untouched by the family planning programme, was coined to describe this group (Park et al.).
