Abstract
The study examines the trends and differentials in knowledge,
ever .use, current use, and future intended use of contraceptives in
rural Bangladesh. Using data from three national-level surveys between
1968 and 1977, the study finds that there had been an increase in
contraceptive knowledge, ever use, current use, and future intended use
over the years. Although estimated logit regression models indicated
that more educated women and women having higher parity were
significantly more likely to adopt or to intend to adopt contraceptives
in the future, other socio-economic indicators such as regional
development or non-agricultural occupations did not lead to higher
contraceptive use or future intended use of contraceptives. Somewhat
similar levels of differences in ever, current, and future intended use
of contraceptives among socio-economic groups persisted over the years.
Implications of these findings are discussed in the paper.
