Ethiopia <strong>DHS</strong> 2000<br />

Education has a positive influence on women’s contraceptive use, with use of modern methods<br />

increasing markedly with an increase in the level of education. The lowest level of use (4 percent) was<br />

observed among uneducated women and the highest among women with some secondary education (33<br />

percent). In general, modern contraceptive use increases with an increase in the number of living<br />

children from 3 percent among women with no children to 9 percent among women with three children.<br />

A similar pattern of contraceptive use by background characteristics was observed among<br />

currently married men (Table 5.6.2).<br />
