The Findings of research on .Social Change in the Modern Egyption Family* revealed that the Egyptian husband is still considered to be the prominent and leading figure in the family. This is due to several factors, such as parents' views that males should have better chaces in education, and the facilities which the society offers for men to achieve promotion and occupational mobility ... etc. In addition, men still from the major portion of the labour force, and consequently their wages are considered to be the main source of income for most of Egyptian families.
The research revealed, also, that the husband is the main link between his family and the prevailing culture in society, due to his direct contact with it, as well as his effective role in achieving the direct contact with it, as well as his effective role in achieving the social development of his family.
Since the concept of Family planning is relatively new in con­temporary Egyptian culture, in comparpon with its introduction in most of the European societies, it would be safe to presume that the husband has an important role in introducing this new concept to his family.
Consequantly the purpose of this research is to achieve the following aims :

To assess the attitude of Egyptian husband towards .Family Planning), and his awaneness of the meaning and value of this concept, and the difficulties which encounter its implementation.
To assess the motivational power of this attitude on the family's practical conduct especially in terms of wife fertility.

Adoption of a plan to convey the family, about this concept, with special emphasis on the husband.
