Family Planning: demand satisfied by modern methods

This dataset presents the percentage of women of reproductive age whose demand for family planning is satisfied through the use of modern contraceptive methods. This includes women who want to delay or avoid pregnancy and are using methods such as pills, injectables, implants, IUDs, or sterilisation. This indicator reflects both access to and uptake of voluntary, rights-based family planning services. It is key to understanding gaps in reproductive health access and autonomy. Data are sourced from StatCompiler, which provides harmonised national estimates from Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS). This is one of many datasets featured on the Midwives’ Data Hub, a digital platform designed to strengthen midwifery and advocate for better maternal and newborn health services.
