“…Many of the popular descriptions of wealthy men or "sugar daddies" in the print, radio, and online media portray them as prosperous businessmen, who offer their female partners large amounts of cash and gifts, including clothing, trips abroad, and jewelry (Illingworth 2004, Evian 2002, Leach and Machakanja 2001, Susman 2000. 4 Several qualitative research studies describe how young women in want or need of financial support seek well-off men as sexual partners, knowing they can acquire more from them (Longfield et al 2004, Rasch et al 2000, Temin et al 1999, Meekers and Calves 1997, McLean 1995.…”

Many observers believe that wealthy men play a disproportionate role in the continuing spread of HIV/AIDS infection in sub-Saharan Africa through their involvement in informal exchange relationships, where money and gifts (referred to as "transfers") are given to a range of nonmarital sexual partners. In this case, wealthier men are riskier sexual partners because they can afford to give larger transfers, which have been found to be negatively associated with condom use. Alternatively, wealthier men might have greater incentives to practice safe sex at later stages of the epidemic or wealthier men might match with female partners who have particularly strong preferences for condom use. Accordingly, economic status would be positively associated with condom use. We use survey data from urban Kisumu, Kenya, to investigate the various mechanisms through which economic status is associated with sexual risk behavior. Our results show that wealth is positively associated with transfers; wealth is uncorrelated with condom use, however. The characteristics of wealthier men's female partners also do not differ from the characteristics of poorer men's partners. We conclude that wealthier men have stronger preferences for condom use, which offsets the negative effect of larger transfers that they give to their sexual partners.

This study was conducted to identify the poorest and other vulnerable sub-groups being served least by family planning providers. The study was set in three countries in sub-Saharan Africa, namely, Ghana, Tanzania and Zimbabwe. This region generally has a low but increasing uptake of modern contraceptive methods. As the use of family planning providers increases, there is a need to understand who is not being served and why. Logistic regression analyses of demographic and health survey data were conducted to identify the characteristics and geographical areas of women who are not using modern contraceptive methods. The results show some similarities among the countries in those using modern methods the least. However, a number of groups were country specific. Identifying the poorest women with the lowest use of modern methods is best done by assessing their household amenities or their partner's status rather than theirs. RésuméQui sont les moins servis par les prestataires des services le la planification familiale? Une étude de l'usage moderne du contraceptif au Ghana, en Tanzanie et au Zimbabwe. Cette étude avait pour but d'identifier les groupes les plus pauvres et les autres sous-groupes qui sont les moins servis par les prestataires des services de la planification familiale. L'étude s'est située dans trois pays sub-sahariens, à savoir le Ghana, la Tanzanie et le Zimbabwe. Cette région connaît en général une faible acceptation des méthodes contraceptives modernes quoique cette acceptation soit en augmentation. Au fur et à mesure que le nombre des prestations des services de planification familiale augmente, il y a le besoin des comprendre ceux qui ne sont pas servis et pourquoi. Les analyses de la regression logistique des données de l'enquête démographique et de santé ont été menées pour identifier les caractéristitques et les domaines géographiques des femmes qui n'emploient pas des méthodes contraceptives modernes. Les résultats ont montré des similarités parmi les pays chez ceux qui emploient les méthodes modernes. Néanmoins, certains groupes affichaient des caractéristiques des pays spécifiques. Pour identifier les femmes les plus pauvres qui emploient les moins les méthodes modernes, il vaut mieux évaluer les appareils ménagers ou la situation économique de leur conjoint plutôt que de leur proper situation.
