New analysis shows better family planning can break the cycle of poverty, drive new economic $1$ growth, and improve the health of a country's citizens. 

 

A new report on family planning in the $2$ world's $69$ lowest-income countries has shown that contraception use is growing fastest in Africa, $3$ with $24\%$ of women of reproductive age now using modern methods. 

 

The report showed that $4$ contraception needs are being increasingly met across Africa, with Eastern and Southern Africa $5$ witnessing the most gains. 

 

Within this region, $63\%$ of demand for modern contraception was met $6$ in $2018$, up from $54\%$ in $2012.$ 

 

The report also shows how better access to family planning can deliver a powerful demographic $8$ dividend that can help transform economies, as birthrates drop and the ratio of adults to $9$ dependent children increases. 

 

With fewer dependents to support, a country can invest more in $10$ education, infrastructure, and other productivity-enhancing measures. 

 

“Family planning empowers women, and empowered women are economic dynamos : joining the $12$ labour force, starting their own businesses, and investing in their communities is easier. 

 

This $13$ sparks a ripple effect that generates vast benefits across society, driving productivity, prosperity, $14$ and sustainability,” said Executive Director of Family Planning $2020$, Beth Schlachter. 

 

Women $15$ represent half of the world population, and there can be no healthy population globally or in Africa $16$ without reproductive health care. 

 

As we continue to build the framework for Universal Health $17$ Coverage, we must ensure access to full, free and voluntary contraception is included for all $18$ women and girls,” finished Schlachter. 

 

Across the $69$ lowest-income countries - including Latin America, the Middle East and Asia - the use of modern contraception prevented more than $119$ million unintended pregnancies, $20$ million unsafe abortions and $137.000$ maternal deaths between July $2017$ and July $2018.$ 

 

Yet, while progress on key family planning outcomes has been impressive, there remains far more work to do, and an increasingly important role for cross-sectoral collaboration.
