Table 12.12 shows sexual activity among currently unmarried women and men. Twelve percent
of women and 17 percent of men have had sexual intercourse with one partner in the 12 months before
the survey and 1 percent of women and 5 percent of men have had sexual intercourse with more than
one partner during the same period. Multiple partners among unmarried persons are relatively more
common among women age 20 and above than among women age 15-19, urban women, those residing
in the Amhara and Affar regions, and women with little or no education. Among men, sexual intercourse
with multiple partners is more common in the age group 20-49, in urban areas, among those residing
in the Affar Region, and among men with secondary education or higher.
