Indicator Summary

The percentage of currently married women aged 15-49 years who currently use any modern family planning methods is a key indicator of reproductive health and family planning adoption. It represents the proportion of women in this demographic who actively use modern contraceptive methods, such as oral contraceptives, condoms, intrauterine devices (IUDs), injectables, implants, or surgical methods like sterilization. This metric provides insights into the accessibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of family planning services in a given population. A higher percentage reflects better availability and utilization of modern contraceptives, indicating progress in meeting women’s reproductive health needs and reducing the risk of unintended pregnancies. The indicator plays a critical role in achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 3, which focuses on ensuring healthy lives and well-being, and Goal 5, which promotes gender equality and empowerment of women. It also sheds light on efforts to overcome barriers such as lack of education, cultural stigmas, or insufficient healthcare infrastructure that can limit access to family planning services.
