In Europe, just under 61 percent of women of reproductive age (15 to 49 years) used a modern contraceptive method in 2023. The prevalence of modern contraceptive use among women in Southern and Eastern European countries was lower than in Northern and Western countries, and thus varied greatly from one country to another. Finland had the highest prevalence in Europe, with 74 percent of women using a modern contraceptive method, whereas the prevalence in Albania was just over five percent.
