In Balinese villages, effective strategies for reducing fertility included:

1. Cultural Practices: Emphasis on traditional Balinese cultural beliefs and practices that promote family planning and smaller family sizes.

2. Education: Increased education, particularly for women, which led to better understanding of reproductive health and family planning methods.

3. Access to Contraceptives: Improved access to contraceptive methods and health services, enabling couples to make informed choices about family size.

4. Government and NGO Programs: Initiatives by the government and non-governmental organizations aimed at promoting family planning and providing resources and support.

5. Community Involvement: Engagement of the community in discussions about fertility and family planning, leading to collective decisions to adopt smaller family sizes.

These strategies combined to influence attitudes towards fertility and enable more effective family planning in the villages.
