This indicator represents the proportion of currently married women who are actively
utilizing modern contraceptive methods or whose partners employ such methods to prevent pregnancy. It encompasses a diverse range of modern techniques, including female sterilization, male sterilization, oral contraceptive pills, intrauterine devices (IUDs), hormonal injections, implants, and various forms of condoms. Understanding this percentage provides critical insights into reproductive health practices, empowering women's autonomy in family planning and highlighting disparities in access to modern contraceptive technologies. It also reflects broader social, cultural, and economic factors influencing contraceptive adoption, which can guide policy interventions aimed at improving women's health and well-being. Higher rates indicate increased acceptance and availability of effective family planning resources, fundamentally impacting population dynamics.
