The study examined socio-economic status, knowledge and use of contraceptives among women in Ikeji Arakeji, Nigeria. A cross-sectional survey was carried out and questionnaire was used to elicit information from respondents who were randomly selected. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences was used to analyze the data. The study revealed high level of education and high percentage of Christian among the respondents. In addition, almost half of the respondents were in 25-34 age range, while four in every five respondents were married. High knowledge of contraceptives among respondents did not translate to high contraceptive usage. In all, almost one third claimed to be current users of contraceptives. Data analyses revealed associations between age and current use of contraceptives and also religion and current use of contraceptives. The study concluded that age and religion should be taken into consideration in designing an intervention programme on contraceptive usage in the study area.
