Overview

Analysis reveals low contraceptive rates among youth in Pakistan, highlighting the need for inclusive family planning policies.

Key Points

  • Access to family planning services remains limited for youth in Pakistan, contributing to low contraceptive prevalence rates.
  • About 60% of Pakistan's population is under 30, yet their family planning needs are largely ignored.
  • Young married girls aged 15-19 have a contraceptive prevalence rate of just six percent, signifying substantial unmet needs.
  • Cultural stigma and lack of youth-friendly services create barriers to effective sexual and reproductive health access for youth.
