Table 5.4 looks at the proportion of married women who are in need of family planning services,that is, they either want no more children or they want to delay having their next child for at least twoyears, and they are not using family planning. Because contraceptive use is so low in Ondo State, thefigures given in Table 5.4 are almost identical to those presented in previous tables for the proportions ofmarried women wanting no more children or wanting to postpone their next child. In other words, almostall the women who want to limit or delay childbearing are in need of family planning services, becausesuch a small proportion of them are using contraception. Of course, some of them may not be inimmediate need of family planning services because some of them may be pregnant, amenorrheic, or notsexually active.The table shows that 75 percent of married women in Ondo State are in need of family planningservices, roughly one-third because they want no more children, and two-thirds because they want tospace their next birth. Not only do these figures represent a high overall level of need for services, but itis also noteworthy that the large majority are in need of methods for spacing births as opposed to limitingthe number of births. Need is greatest among women with no education, and least among women withsecondary or more education.Table 5.4Among Currently Married Women, the Percent Who Are In Need of FamilyPlanning, and the Percent Who Are In Need and Plan to Use a ContraceptiveMethod in the Future, by Background Characteristics, ODHS 1986In Need of Family Planning IIn Need and IntendTo Use ContraceptionTotal inBackground Want No Want to Total Want No Want to Need andCharacter- More Postpone/ In More Postpone/ Intendingistic Children Undecided 2 Need Children Undecided' To UseResidenceUrban 18.1 54.3 72.4 5.2 21.1 26.3Rural 24.6 52.1 76.8 5.5 17.1 22.6Riverine 12.9 63.6 76.5 2.8 8,3 ii.IEducationNone 30.7 48.8 79.4 5.0 11.7 16.7Primary 13.2 60.2 73.5 6.7 21.6 28.2Secondary + 7.6 57.9 65.5 3.4 29.3 32.7ReligionCatholic 17.8 58.9 76.6 3.9 17.4 21.4Protestant 22.4 52.4 74.8 5.5 18.5 24.0Muslim 17.3 58.1 75.4 4.7 18.2 23.0Other/None 20.6 50.0 70.6 2.9 4.4 7.4Total 21,1 53.9 75.0 5.2 18.0 23.2Women in need are defined as those who are not currently using family planningand who want no more births or want to postpone the next birth for at least twoor more years.Includes women undecided about whether to have another birth or about timingfor the next birth.49
Table 5.4 also indicates that less than one-third of women in need of family planning servicesintend to use a method sometime in the future (23 percent out of 75 percent). A somewhat largerproportion of women who are in need because they want to postpone their next birth intend to use in thefuture (18 out of 54 percent) than of those in need because they want to stop childbearing altogether (5out of 21 percent).5.2 Ideal Number of ChildrenIn order to assess fertility preferences in Ondo State, all ODHS respondents were asked: "If youcould (go back to the time you did not have any children, and could) choose exactly the number ofchildren to have in your whole life, how many would that be?" Women with children were asked theentire question, while those with no children were asked the question excluding the phrase in parentheses.The question measures two things--first, among women who have just started childbearing, the data givean idea of the total number of children these women hope to have in the future; secondl, among olderwomen with more children, the data provide an idea of the level of unwanted fertility.It is important to note that some women have difficulty in answering such a hypotheticalquestion, presumably more so in cultures in which control over fertility is a new concept. The fact thattwo-fifths of women in Ondo State gave a non-numerical response ("As many as God gives me", "Don'tknow", etc.) is evidence of this difficulty. Also, it is usually assumed with this question that some womenreport their actual number of children as their ideal number, since they find it difficult to admit that theywould not want some of their children if they could choose again.Table 5.5 Percent Distribution of All Women by Ideal Number of Children and Mean IdealNumber of Children for All Women and Currently Married Women, According to NumberLiving Children, ODHS, 1986Number of Living Children *IdealNumber ofAllChildren 0 1 2 3 4 5 6+ Women0 0.0 0,0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0,0 0.01 0.0 0,0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.02 0.4 0,9 0.6 0.0 0.4 0,4 0.4 0.43 4.7 2.4 2.3 1.7 0.6 1 .2 0.9 2.44 22.2 17.3 11.2 9.7 7.9 3.6 4.8 12.85 22.2 19.7 20.6 15.2 ii.4 12.2 5.5 16.06+ 23.4 25.2 20.6 29.5 32.4 33.6 41.2 29.1Non-Numerlc Rsp. 27.2 34.6 44.7 43.9 47.2 49.0 47.3 39.2Total Percent i00.0 I00.0 I00.0 i00.0 I00.0 I00.0 100.0 i00.0No. of Women 1326 437 349 421 466 500 694 4213Mean Ideal No.,All Women 5.2 5.4 5.3 5.9 6.1 6.3 7.0 5.7Mean Ideal No.,Married Women 5.9 5.4 5.3 5.9 6.1 6.3 7.1 6.1* Includes current pregnancy50
