Socioeconomic inequalities in high-risk fertility behaviors over time in Ethiopia

2024Open accessBahir Dar University

Abstract

Our findings revealed the disproportional concentration of HRFB among socioeconomically disadvantaged women in Ethiopia, with a widening disparity between 2005 and 2019. Future interventions to address the effect of socioeconomic disadvantage on HRFB should prioritize women with low or no formal education, those who give birth at home, and those who do not use contraceptives.
