The relationship between contraceptive use and fertility has been
well documented in demographic and related literature. Since Davis
and Blake identified this factor as one of the intermediate determinants
of fertility, many studies based on aggregate and individual-level data
have confirmed the prominent role played by contraception in
determining the level of fertility. Indeed, it is through contraception
that an increasing number of women all over the world are achieving
the desired interval between births and successfully limiting the number
of their offspring.
