Abstract

Limited literature tried to measure the significance of compensation received on the sterilization regret among the
women in India. Data from NFHS-4 was used to explore the regret by compensation received and type of health
provider. Two multivariate logistic models were used to show the same after adjusting for all the covariates. The
st
logistic analysis from the 1 model depicts that 0.90 times women were less likely to regret if they have received
compensation (95% CI(0.84 0.96)) than those who had not received and 0.86 times women were less likely to regret
if sterilization was done in private facility (95% CI(0.79 0.95)) than conducted in public. But, after dropping
compensation received, the type of health provider has no role in determining the sterilization regret. This provides
enough evidence that women were regretting mainly because of the compensation received and place of
sterilization has no significant role in it. Many types of research also showed that most of the sterilization was
conducted for compensation. The government should ban the incentives which acts a lucrative for couples to
undergo sterilization and should motivate the health workers to educate the couples about the procedures, so as
to eliminate the regret.
