This chapter describes the rise in contraceptive practice and fill in fertility from around 1890 to the present day. Two main phases are identified: the first confined to European populations and involving methods of low efficacy, and the second embracing the whole planet involving modern methods. Today, SUb-Saharan Africa is the only region where low levels of contraceptive use and high fertility persist. Nevertheless, nearly half of pregnancies worldwide are Still unintended, and much scope remains for improvement in contraceptive protection. The main international priority is Affica, where demographic factors jeopardize the goals of reducing poverty and hunger. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
