• W754355570 abstract "Between 2003 and 2012, the proportion of women aged 15-49 in developing countries who wanted to avoid pregnancy increased from 54% to 57%, according to an analysis of data on contraceptive need and use throughout the developing world. (1) The number of such women increased by 151 million, though most of the increase (72%) is attributable to population growth. Among women who wished to avoid pregnancy, the proportion who had an unmet need for a modern method of contraception decreased from 29% in 2003 to 26% in 2012. Nonetheless, the proportion remained high in Sub-Saharan Africa (60%), western Asia (50%) and south Asia (34%). The analysis also revealed a shift away from use of the most effective method, sterilization, to greater use of injectables and barrier methods. As part of the effort to monitor progress toward the goal of universal access to contraceptives outlined in Millennium Development Goal 5, the researchers estimated levels of modern contraceptive use and unmet need in developing countries. Modern contraceptive use was defined as the use by a woman or her partner of at least one of the following methods: sterilization, IUD, implant, injectable, oral contraceptives, male condoms or other supply methods (such as spermicide). Women were categorized as wanting to avoid pregnancy if they were using a modern method; if they did not use contraceptives but were married (or unmarried and sexually active), fecund and did not want a child in the next two years; or if they were pregnant (or experiencing postpartum amenorrhea) but had not wanted to become pregnant for at least two more years, if at all. Women who wanted to avoid pregnancy but were using no method or a traditional method (such as periodic abstinence or withdrawal) were considered to have an unmet need for modern contraceptives. Using Demographic and Health Surveys and similar national surveys for developing nations, the researchers tabulated the proportions of women who were using modern methods to avoid pregnancy and those who had unmet need. Estimates were made for 2003, 2008 and 2012; values for countries that lacked data were estimated from weighted subregional averages, information from previous studies or data from similar countries. For each country, separate estimates were made for women who were currently, formerly or never married (or in union); these proportions were applied to estimates (from United Nations and national survey data) of numbers of women in each marital status category. Also, the researchers calculated the proportion of women using each type of modern contraceptive. Country-specific results were aggregated to yield estimates for geographic regions and subregions, as well as for the 69 poorest countries. In 2003, 716 million (54%) of the 1.32 billion women aged 15-49 in developing countries wanted to avoid pregnancy; in 2012, 867 million (57%) of the 1.52 billion women of reproductive age wished to do so. Seventy-two percent of the increase in the number of women who wanted to avoid pregnancy (108 million out of 151 million women) is attributable to population growth; the remainder reflects changing patterns of marriage and sexual activity and women's increasing motivation to avoid unintended pregnancy. The proportion of women who wanted to avoid pregnancy varied greatly by region in 2012, ranging from less than half in central and western Asia and most regions of Africa to two-thirds or more in eastern Asia, southern Africa and South America. Although the proportion of women wanting to avoid pregnancy increased by three percentage points overall between 2003 and 2012, larger increases occurred in eastern Asia (from 66% to 72%), eastern Africa (from 39% to 45%), southern Africa (from 63% to 70%), the Caribbean (from 52% to 59%) and South America (from 62% to 68%). …" @default.
