Description
Emile Twagirumukiza and colleagues published a 2026 survey analysis on contraceptive use among married women in Rwanda. They drew on the 2019/2020 Demographic and Health Survey. The focus was whether schooling, work, say in household choices, and views on wife-beating relate to current contraceptive use.
The group studied 7401 married women aged 15 to 49 who had given birth in the prior five years, using logistic regression models. Use stood at 64.1 percent in the sample overall. Primary schooling, paid work, and stronger say in decisions each linked to higher odds of use. Having two or three living children showed the strongest link, while older age linked to lower odds. The authors argue that schooling, jobs, and voice at home should sit at the center of family planning plans.
