Unmet need for family planning (total) (% of married women): Q3

This indicator measures the percentage of currently married women who experience an unmet need for family planning, categorized into spacing and limiting needs. The unmet need for spacing encompasses pregnant women with mistimed pregnancies, amenorrheic women whose last birth was also mistimed, and fecund women not using any family planning method, those wishing to delay childbirth by two years or more, as well as those uncertain about their reproductive plans. On the other hand, unmet need for limiting includes pregnant women with unwanted pregnancies and amenorrheic women whose last child was unwanted, alongside fecund women desiring no additional children. Notably, this metric excludes women who faced unplanned pregnancies while using contraception, indicating a critical area for improved reproductive health services and education. Source:
