Measuring progress in meeting the need for family planning requires not only an assessment of overall levels and trends in contraceptive prevalence and the unmet need for family planning, but also an assessment of the range and types of contraceptive methods used. This data booklet presents estimates of the prevalence of ontraceptive use by method based on the World Contraceptive Use 2019 (based on data from 1,247 surveys for 195 countries or areas of the world) and additional tabulations obtained from microdata and survey reports. The estimates are presented for female and male sterilisation, intrauterine device (IUD), implant, injectable, pill, male condom, withdrawal, rhythm and other methods combined. The estimates of contraceptive prevalence (any, modern or traditional) for 1994 and 2019 are from Estimates and Projections of Family Planning Indicators 2019.
