This indicator measures the proportion of currently married women experiencing an unmet need for family planning specifically aimed at limiting family size. It encompasses not only those who are pregnant due to unwanted circumstances or who have recently given birth to an unwanted child but also women who, while neither pregnant nor recently postpartum, express a desire to have no more children and are not utilizing any family planning methods. The insights gleaned from this data illuminate critical gaps in access to reproductive health services, showcasing the need for targeted interventions to enhance family planning resources. Such efforts are essential for empowering women, ensuring informed choices about family size, and fostering their overall well-being.
