In this study used the, 1989 Bangladesh Fertility Survey, the 1993-94 and the 1996-97 Bangladesh Demographic and Health Surveys (BDHS) to investigate the determinants of contraceptive use among the currently married women under 50 years of age. Bi-variate analysis were used to assess the differentials and multivariate analysis used to find the determinants of the current contraceptive use. The results indicate that improvement of the status of women, access to mass media and reduction of child mortality are important determinants of contraceptive use.
