چکیده
Although fertility rate is still high (2.7) compared to other South Asian countries, the total wanted fertility is only 2.3, which clearly shows that average 0.4 pregnancies are unwanted. In Bangladesh, women with unwanted pregnancy are more likely to seek unsafe abortion and it is one of the important causes of maternal mortality and morbidity (Ahmed et al. 2005). The main objective of this study is to assess the extent of unmet need for family planning among married women of reproductive age group in Bangladesh and to study the factors related to it. This paper also assesses the impact of unmet need of family planning on future population growth in Bangladesh.
