“…Studies on fertility behaviour and contraceptive use have been found to be associated with men's socio-economic status-education and age at marriage (Martinez et al, 2011), marital status (Fuse, 2010), wealth status (Koj, 2000;Hinde and Mturi, 2000), region (Giusti and Vignoli,2006), type of family head, place of residence and religion (Uddin et al, 2011); gender roles (Kaufman 2000;Puur, Oláh et al 2008;Goldscheider et al, 2010), multi-partners (Carlson and Furstenberg 2006;Guzzo and Furstenberg, 2007), income (Guzzo and Furstenberg, 2007) and current number of living children (Lappegård and Rønsen, 2009;Kabagenyi et al, 2014;Kogay and Itua, 2017), among others.
