Summary

Fertility management refers to the entirety of practices that allow families to have as many children as they want and when they want, prevent unwanted pregnancies, regulate the time between two births and receive help in having children in the case of infertility.

According to the Turkey Demographic and Health Survey 2018 data, 70% of women in Turkey who are currently married do not use any contraceptive method. Based on the same data, the rate of the unmet need for fertility management is 12% nationwide, 14% in eastern provinces, and 17% in women at the ages of 20-24. These rates show that the rates of unmet fertility management needs in Turkey are still not on the desired level.

The fact that eastern provinces of Turkey have the lowest rate of modern contraceptive method use as 43% and a high rate of unmet fertility management needs as 14% suggests that it is needed to increase the effectiveness of fertility management counseling and reach more women. In these eastern provinces, especially women living in rural areas do not have easy access to these services due to the high prevalence of adolescent marriages, lack of transportation opportunities, healthcare personnel and healthcare services, and unpredictable weather conditions.
