Factors Associated With Induced Abortion Among Childbearing‐Aged Women in Nepal: Evidence From the 2022 Nepal Demographic and Health Survey

2026Open accessUniversity of Ghana

Abstract

Induced abortion remains relatively common in Nepal. Key determinants include maternal age, parity, education level, household wealth, religious affiliation, and media exposure. To reduce reliance on abortion and improve reproductive health outcomes, policies should expand access to modern contraceptives and comprehensive reproductive health services. Interventions must particularly prioritize older and multiparous women, those with limited education, and women from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds who may face barriers to contraception and safe services, alongside populations highly exposed to internet and radio platforms.
