    Main Results:

    • Total fertility rate (TFR) declined from 7.7 in 1971-1975 to 5.6 in 1987-1990.
    • Current contraceptive use rose to 35% in 1990, with IUD and female sterilization becoming more popular than the pill.
    • High knowledge of family planning methods and sources, alongside declining infant mortality and high vaccination rates.

    Conclusions:

    • Fertility has declined significantly in Jordan, accompanied by increased and evolving contraceptive use.
    • High awareness of family planning methods exists, but fertility remains high relative to contraceptive use, possibly due to reliance on traditional methods.
    • Improvements in infant health indicators, including reduced mortality and high vaccination coverage, are evident.
