Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Health
  • Demography
  • Contraception

Background:

  • Sterilization is the leading global contraceptive method, yet adoption rates grow slowly.
  • Its high prevalence is due to excellent continuation, broad age appeal, and long availability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To project future sterilization adoption and user numbers globally.
  • To analyze demographic factors influencing sterilization use.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a new projection method for sterilization adoptions.
  • Analyzed international patterns and personal characteristics (age, parity, residence, sex) of users.

Main Results:

  • Projected 159 million sterilization adoptions between 1990-2000, with half in China.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Sterilization users concentrated in China and India, with significant carry-over from current users.
  • Estimated 269 million sterilization users by 2000 (29% of couples), with reliable projections due to user demographics.

    • Conclusions:

    • Sterilization will remain a dominant contraceptive method, particularly in China and India.
    • Demographic factors significantly influence sterilization uptake and continuation.
    • Projections for sterilization are more dependable than for other methods due to user characteristics.
