Abstract
Background:Ethiopian women bear an average of five children in their lifetime. As of 2011, 29 percent of married Ethiopian women of childbearing age (15{u2013}49) use any method of family planning; this is a dramatic increase from 2005--when only 15 percent of married women of childbearing age were using any form of contraception. However, 25 percent of married women do not want any more children or want to wait for two or more years before having another child but are not currently using any form of contraception. Family planning efforts need to expand to address this 2unmet need3 for family planning-particularly among young women ages 15{u2013}19 who have the highest unmet need (33%). (Family planning in Ethiopia 2012). Method:The data used in these analyses are from the 2016 Ethiopia Demographic and Health Survey. The survey covered a nationally representative sample of 15,683 women aged 15-49 and 11,606 men aged 15-59. The sample was weighted to make the survey base more accurately represent the population from which the sample was drawn.Thus the descriptive tables are based on weighted numbers. However, since multivariate analyses are run to clarify the relationship between and / or among individual responses to questions and how they relate to an overall measure, it is based on unweighted data because it preserves the one respondent/one response relationship. For further details about the design of the survey, refer to the 2016 Ethiopia Demographic and Health Survey final report (CSA and ICF July, 2017). Results:The analysis shows that unmet need for family planning has decreased over time as contraceptive use has risen. from 2000 to 2016, the unmet need for family planning declined by 14.3 absolute percentage points, from 36.6 percent in 2000 to 22.3 percent in 2016
