Disparities in Contraceptive Use Among Married Women: Wealth-Based Inequalities

Recent research reveals significant disparities in contraceptive use among married women aged 15 to 49 in various countries, particularly when analyzed by wealth category. For instance, in Tanzania, only 11% of the poorest women use modern contraception, compared to 36% of the wealthiest. These stark differences underscore the challenges family planning programs face in addressing the needs of the poorest populations. Effective strategies are necessary to enhance access to contraceptive services for disadvantaged groups to promote equitable health outcomes.
