Abstract

Little is explored about the use of modern methods for spacing childbearing among the women who were satisfied
demand in India. We used four rounds of National Family Health Survey data (1992-93, 1997-98, 2005-06, and
2015-16). Univariate and bivariate analyses and multinomial logistic regression were carried out using the sample
of women aged 15-49 years who have a demand for spacing. The total demand for family planning was 66% and
the demand for spacing is only 11% in India in 2015-16, while unmet need for family planning is 20%. About 71%
of women’s demand is met by modern methods among the met spacing demand. The results from the logistic
regression model show that the prevalence of modern method was significantly higher among the women who are
educated and wealthy, from the Muslim community, scheduled caste and tribes, urban areas, and western regions,
in 20-24 years, and have media exposure and childbearing at a later age. Under the ongoing National Rural Health
Mission, the involvement of the community health workers (ASHA) in educating and distributing modern spacing
methods to the identified disadvantageous women would improve the use of modern methods for spacing
childbearing in India and thereby to achieve SDGs.
