iiprogram measures derived from the 1989 Bang'ladesh Ferti'l itysurvey (conducted by Nat iona'l Inst itute f or populat ion

Research and Training-NIPORT, Dhaka, Bangladesh) on Unmet

Cont racept i ve Need.

Ihe f ind'ings reveal that in Bangladesh, 29 percent

of currently married women of reproductive ages were using

a contraceptive method(both modern and traditional) and 71

percent were not practicing any method.

It appears from the secondary data ana'lysis thatthere is a "sizab'le" unmet need (35.2 percent ) in the

country---23.2 percent are in need of contraception forlimiting and 12.O percent are in need for spacing. Unmet

need is negatively associated with education, place ofresi dence, empl oyment status, el ect ri f i cat i on, and

fie'ldworker visits, thus implying that development effortsand fami'ly planning program efforts are both needed tot rans'l at e some of t he unmet need i nt o act ual use .
