“…The higher likelihood of overall UMNFP, unmet need for spacing and unmet need for limiting in rural areas than that of urban areas is an indication of easy availability of family planning services in urban areas. Existing studies conducted in different countries and regions of the world also suggest that the likelihood of unmet need for family planning has been found to be higher in rural areas as compared to urban areas in case of Turkey [10], Rwanda [17], India [3, 9], Nepal, [20] and Ethiopia [16].…”

Background Family planning is considered as an effective tool to control population and to bring improvement in maternal and child health. The Government of Pakistan has been continuously struggling to improve the availability of family planning services. However, like many other developing countries of the world, unmet need for family planning still exists in the country. According to Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey 2012–13, the prevalence of unmet need for family planning is 21% in the country. The objective of this study is to investigate the determinants of unmet need for family planning among married women in Pakistan. Methods Secondary data of Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey 2012–13 has been used to analyze the determinants of unmet need for family planning through Binary and Multinomial Logistic regressions. Results Outcomes of the study show that the likelihood of unmet need for family planning among married women in Pakistan goes on to decrease with an increase in their age and education. The likelihood of unmet need for family planning decreases with the increase in wealth status of women’s household, number of living children and husband’s education. Similarly, the women residing in rural areas are more likely to have unmet need for family planning as compared with women living in urban areas. The women who lack mass media exposure, who are not employed and who have fear of side effects for using contraceptives are more likely to have unmet need for family planning. Conclusions Fear of side effects for using contraceptives has been identified as the major cause of unmet need for family planning in Pakistan. The Government of Pakistan has been putting a lot of efforts to convince people about the usefulness of population control programs. A huge media campaign has been launched to persuade people about the benefits of birth control. But the efforts of the government do not seem to be very much effective to clear the perception of people about side effects of contraceptive use. Hence, fear of side effects still remains one of the most important reason behind unmet need for family planning.

“…After 2013, it started to increase again and reached to 12% in 2018 (1). In much research, it is stated that unmet need for family planning and unwanted pregnancies is still a major public health problem for Turkey (11)(12)(13).…”

Aim: This study was planned to analyse the unwanted pregnancies and to determine the frequency and causes according to risk groups. Materials and Method:This is a cross-sectional study conducted on 409 married volunteer pregnant women who applied to the hospital for prenatal care. A questionnaire prepared by the researchers was used for data collection. Percentage, mean, and chi-square test were used to evaluate the data. Results:The rate of unwanted pregnancies was found to be 23.2%. The rate of unwanted pregnancy decreases with age. The unwanted pregnancy rate decreases as the education level of the woman increases and this ratio decreases to 18.5% among university graduates. Conclusion:In this study, the high rate of unwanted pregnancies was since most of them were not using a family planning method or using traditional family planning methods. It was found that the risk group with the highest unwanted pregnancy rate was among young women. Since the rate of withdrawal method was high especially in young women and this can lead to unwanted pregnancies, it is necessary to give couples premarital education.

“…In particular, the eastern region is marked by a relatively high proportion of currently married women (38 percent) not using any method (HUIPS 2014). Differences in contraceptive use across regions are attributed to varying levels of wealth and economic development and lower access to and availability of health services in rural areas (Cindoglu et al 2008;Dinç et al 2007).…”

This paper integrates contraception into the extant migrant-fertility framework using the case of internal migration within Turkey. Drawing from the  Turkish Demographic and Health Survey data, we show that migration is positively associated with age of first modern contraceptive use. As women's migration is quickly followed by family formation, women also take up modern contraception after first childbirth, likely due to new encounters with medical professionals, differing contraceptive access and other social exposures. We also find that women whose childhoods were spent in urban areas have a higher risk of first modern contraception relative to women from rural areas, thus suggesting the enduring importance of socialization. These results show how selection processes, life-cycle factors, and sociocultural norms jointly shape modern contraceptive behavior in Turkey. Our results also demonstrate a need for increased reproductive care in rural areas and suggest continued fertility decline with urban migration.
