Abstract
Examines the association between family planning availability and rates of contraceptive use and marital fertility for groups of women at differing socioeconomic levels. The study utilizes data on objective contraceptive availability collected in the community modules of the World Fertility Surveys of Bangladesh, Korea, and Mexico. Data on respondents' perceived contraceptive availability also are analyzed for Korea and Mexico. The analysis confirms that somewhat higher rates of contraceptive use are associated with community availability of services. -Authors
