Abstract
Bangladesh has highest Contraceptive Prevalence Rate (CPR) after Sri Lanka and Bhutan in South
Asia but still lagged behind with the developed countries. This paper uses data from Bangladesh Demographic
and Health Survey 2011 to examine different socio-economic and demographic factors which are correlates to
current contraception use among currently married women in urban and rural areas in Bangladesh. Bivariate and
multivariate logistic regression analyses have been used to estimate the factors affected on contraception use in
city and countryside of Bangladesh. The results show that current age of respondent, number of living children,
respondent currently working, fertility preference, visited by FP field worker, marital duration and region have
most significant effect on current contraception use in urban and rural areas by both cross-tabulation and logistic
regression analyses. Moreover, respondent’s education and husband’s occupation have been found significant
association with contraception use in both areas.
