Unmet Family Planning in Jordan
A study launched by the National Population Council in Jordan highlighted that geographic and social disparities affect the use of family planning methods and the unmet need for them. The national rate of unmet need stands at 10.8%, reaching 23.6% in Maan Governorate. The results showed that the main factors influencing family planning decisions include education, economic empowerment, place of residence, nationality, age, number of children, discussions about the decision with the spouse, and the quality of interaction with the healthcare system. The study also revealed that the likelihood of using family planning methods increases with higher educational levels and the number of children, while it decreases among Syrian women and other ethnic groups facing cultural and economic challenges. There is a clear disparity between urban and rural areas; northern and more peripheral governorates have the lowest usage rates. The study concluded that improving the quality of interactions with healthcare providers, encouraging spousal involvement, and developing policies and legislation could increase the rates of family planning use and reduce unmet need, especially in areas facing economic and social challenges.
