Contraceptive prevalence rate, females 15-49 years old

The proportion of women currently using, or whose sexual partner is using, a method of contraception among women of reproductive age (usually aged 15-49). In some countries the denominator is married women only, as (reported) sexual activity outside of marriage is considered rare.
