This indicator assesses the central tendency of the age at which women aged 25 to 49 first engage in sexual intercourse, providing valuable insights into sexual initiation trends within this demographic. Understanding the median
age at first sexual intercourse can shed light on societal norms, educational influences, and access to reproductive health resources that shape sexual behaviors. It serves as a crucial metric for evaluating changes in sexual health patterns over time and across different cultures. By analyzing this data quarterly, researchers and policymakers can identify shifts in sexual attitudes and practices, which can inform targeted interventions aimed at
improving sexual health education and resources for women, ultimately fostering healthier relationships and well-being in this age group.
