[Two out of three young women use the pill].
Data from the 1993 Netherlands Fertility and Family Survey are analyzed.  Results show that "three out of every four women aged 18-42 years use some method of birth control.  Some 10% is pregnant or wants to become pregnant, 5% is infecund and 10% does not use a method for other reasons. Compared with the previous surveys, held in 1982 and 1988, more women use the pill, whereas the popularity of the IUD has decreased.... Among women in their thirties sterilization has decreased, but that is related to the fact that women nowadays have their children at a later age....Furthermore it can be concluded that of the women who have no male partner, 50% used some reliable method of birth control (pill, IUD or condom)."
