This statistic shows the number of unintended pregnancies in developing regions worldwide in 2017, by outcome and level of contraceptive care. In that year, unintended pregnancies resulted in over 48 million abortions in developing regions at current levels of contraceptive use. It is predicted that 100% coverage of contraceptive care would decrease this number to 12.4 million.
