The subject of the childbearing regulation policy is noted in the documents of world importance – the Millennium Development Goals (2001) and the Sustainable Development Goals (2015). The migration crisis that has engulfed modern society is one of the reasons that prompted developed countries to assist the developing world in the policy of curbing demographic growth. Family planning programs are organized activities, carried out primarily by government agencies, in order to disseminate information, services, medicines and means to regulate childbirth in modern ways. They reflect the serious concern of governments with rapid population growth, and they are the main, and in many developing countries the only, instrument of demographic policy. On the African continent, due to traditional mass attitudes towards large families, due to the predominance of the agrarian type of farming, where free child labor is valued, due to significant infant mortality, which determines the high birth rate, and due to a considerable number of other reasons, in many sub–Saharan African countries the policy of curbing demographic growth is stalling. Therefore, the positive Kenyan example of intra–family birth planning, which has not yet been covered in the domestic scientific literature, is of interest. It indicates that over the past half century there has been a noticeable demographic differentiation of the African countries, and Kenya is one of the few among the 55 states of the continent, where since the middle of the twentieth century the beginning of the restructuring of reproductive behavior was laid.
