Abstract

Intrauterine device (IUD) insertion and oral contraceptives are the two most commonly used contraceptive methods in the Central Highlands region, while condom - supposedly the safest method, is rarely considered. There are differences between women’s age and educational attainment groups regarding the use of traditional and modern contraceptives. Besides, such other factors as ethnicity, religion, and the number of existing children, also influence their choice of contraception during the marriage lives. Based on the data of Vietnam Population Change and Family Planning Survey 2018 of General Statistics Office, the paper analyzes the current situation and some impacting factors among women of reproductive age in the Central Highlands; thereby, offers some policy recommendations for the effective implementation of the fertility reduction in the Central Highlands to 2030.
