| Abstract | Do wives’ household decision-making power and husbands’ egalitarian beliefs concerning women’s roles independently determine contraceptive use? Do they determine fertility desire in analogous ways? What is the function of age, education, and work in these processes? Analyses of Demographic and Health Surveys’ Couple Recode data sets targeted nonpregnant women living with a sexual partner and the partner. The analyses encompassed rural and urban samples from India (N = 23,342), Indonesia (N = 7,219), and Nigeria (N = 7,062), and a rural sample from Ethiopia (N = 2,531). Wife’s fertility desire decreased as husband’s egalitarianism in urban settings and wife’s power in rural areas increased. Regardless of setting, contraceptive use increased as husband’s egalitarianism and wife’s power increased, and beliefs and power presented greater effects on contraceptive use than on fertility desire. Removal of age, education, and work variance from the predictors reduced the odds-ratios by less than 50 per cent and similarly for power and beliefs. Programs may need to target couples to maximize the impact of interventions to enhance contraceptive use via gender empowerment. |
