A Note on Desired Family Size and Contraceptive use in Rural Egypt
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 July 2008
Summary
The influence of fertility preferences on contraceptive use is examined among a sample of low income, rural Egyptian women. The findings reveal that while overall use of contraceptives was at modest levels, one-third of respondents who wanted no more children were currently practising contraception. Moreover, fertility preference emerged as the strongest predictor of contraception among the series of social and demographic factors examined.
