Abstract
Contraceptive use is a subject of scientific interest for its contribution to reduced fertility, exclusively controlled by
means of female sterilization. The aim of this study is to investigate whether or not there has been any change in
the profile of acceptors of female sterilization in India over more than two decades(1992-2016).
The study used data from all the four rounds of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) conducted. A multilevel
multinomial logistic regression was conducted in the pooled data of contraceptive users of four rounds of the survey
to examine the adjusted contribution of various contraceptive methods over time. The pooled data from 1992–93
to 2015–16 was used to explore the change in users through creating interaction between time and predictors.
Female sterilization continued to dominate the contraceptive method mix, use of modern methods had
considerably increased, and traditional method use had remained almost unchanged during 1992–93 to 2015–16.
Age, education, surviving son, parity, religion, social group, household size, region, and economic condition of the
woman remained as significant determinants of contraceptive use during the study period.
The persistent dominance of female sterilization in the Indian family planning program is largely determined by
socioeconomic conditions.

Abstract
Increasing the use of contraception is a necessary effort to decrease the Total Fertility Rate (TFR). Contraceptive use
enables couples of childbearing age to determine the time of spacing and the desired number of children.
Therefore, it becomes vital for Policymakers to discuss the unmet need of family planning program in developing
strategies that would satisfy growing Family Planning needs. This study aims to investigate the determinants of
unmet need for family planning among married women in Lampung. Secondary data of Indonesia Demographic
and Health Survey 2017 (n=929) has been analyzed using Logistic Regressions. Outcomes of the study showed that
the age of married women and lack off acces had been identified as the only factor significantly correlated with
unmet need for family planning in Lampung. The likelihood of the unmet need for family planning among married
women in Lampung goes on to increase with an increase in their age. Hence, the government is required to identify
needs based on age groups for providing more age-segmented information on family planning for women in
Lampung.
