Feyisetan, Martha Ainsworth] Nigeria has experienced high fertility and rapid population growth for at least the past thirty years. Only recently have public authorities launched efforts to promote contraceptive use. In this article, individual women are linked to the characteristics of the nearest health facility, pharmacy, and source of family planning to assess the relative importance of women's socioeconomic background and the characteristics of nearby services on contraceptive use. The results suggest that the limited levels of female schooling (and probably other factors affecting women's opportunity cost of time) are constraining contraceptive use, especially in rural areas. Another major constraint to increased contraceptive use is the low availability of family planning services in Nigeria. Broader availability of the pill and other methods in pharmacies and of injectables and intrauterine devices (IUDs) in health facilities is likely to raise contraceptive use. Outpatient or consultation fees at nearby health facilities do not appear to be constraining demand for modern contraceptive methods. © 1996 The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development / THE WORLD BANK A SYMPOSIUM ON FERTILITY IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA nationallicence Feyisetan Bamikale J. aut Ainsworth Martha aut The World Bank Economic Review Oxford University Press 10/1(1996-01), 159-187 0258-6770 10:1<159 1996 10 wber https://doi.org/10.1093/wber/10.1.159 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 other jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1093/wber/10.1.159 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Feyisetan Bamikale J. aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Ainsworth Martha aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- The World Bank Economic Review Oxford University Press 10/1(1996-01), 159-187 0258-6770 10:1<159 1996 10 wber Metadata rights reserved CC BY-NC-4.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-oxford
