| Abstract | ||
| OBJECTIVE In a context of economic uncertainty and a decline in actual fertility in Egypt, our analysis addresses the question of what factors can be related to the decline family size. METHODS and DATA Using data from the (2008-2014), and (2015-2022) Egypt Demographic Health Survey (EDHS) announced data by the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS), we use different statistical analysis tables and charts to determine the factors affecting the family number of children. Our main explanatory variables are Egyptian female's desire to use available contraception methods. RESULTS More traditional gender attitudes are associated with a low level of desired fertility. Women exposed to contraception methods want fewer numbers of children than those not exposed. Our findings show that Egyptian married women’s participation in family size. Finally, we found a noticeable increase in the number of married women using modern and traditional methods of family planning or contraception which in 2014 reached 57% and in 2022to 65%, by an increase that reached to 8% between the period (2014-2022). As well as their complete knowledge of all possible methods of family planning, which amounted to 99.9%, the volume of increasing demand from (2008-2022), and the increasing future intention of women who are currently using any method of contraception, and all that, this will lead to the transformation or change of society from a young population to aged population (aging) within the next 10 to 20 years, with the continuous increasing in the usage of children spacing methods of contraception or birth control methods. Also, it may be a technique for fertility limitation or overpopulation. CONTRIBUTION Our work contributes to the existing literature on contraception in two important ways. Firstly, study of the general trend of the Egyptian women desire to use traditional and new contraception methods. Second, the future intentions to use contraception methods for Egyptian women. | ||
