Youth is a capital of any nation. The reproductive health of youth is of growing concern today. Generally, the child
to youth transition involves events such as puberty, physical and psychological changes and marriage with all its
accompanying responsibilities. These physical, psychological and behavioral changes especially those
associated with puberty have important consequences for the reproductive health of the youth. This segment of
the population is the nation builder of near future and will have the greatest potential impact on population growth.
Youth may face immediate and long term health threats due to the behavior and practices that they undertake.
The purpose of this study was to understand the perceptions, attitudes and practices of rural migrants who had
been migrated for the last five years (2000 to onward) towards their reproductive health. A well defined
questionnaire was used as a tool for data collection and survey was conducted in Faisalabad city. One hundred
and fifty respondents were interviewed during the survey.
