Implication

This analysis finds women’s empowerment influences contraceptive choice, highlighting important implications for family planning.

Key Points

  • The study aims to determine if empowered women are more likely to choose contraceptive methods compared to those who are not empowered.
  • Analyzed data from the fifth round of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5).
  • Used a sample of 81,779 married women aged 15–49.
  • Categorized current contraceptive use into modern, traditional, and no use.
  • Utilized a multinomial logit model to assess the associations.
  • Controlled for demographic and socioeconomic factors.
  • Women’s empowerment positively associates with the use of contraceptives.
  • Empowerment primarily impacts traditional methods rather than modern methods.
  • Factors like female employment, number of living children, and husband’s education significantly relate to modern contraceptive use.
