In 2021, over six percent of women in Europe want to stop or delay childbearing but are not using a method of contraception. The unmet need for family planning was especially high in Southern Europe where 11 percent of married women were not using a contraception method yet wanted to stop or delay childbearing. Northern and Western Europe, on the other hand, showed lower rates of unmet family planning needs.
