In this term paper, the change in attitudes towards practicing family planning methods including contraception use, unmeet demands, and demands satisfiction by these methods among ever married of age (15-49) have been investigated. Exposure of information are from either source (TV, Radio, Newspaper or Mobile). The results suggests that women who have higher exposure to information are found to follow family planning methods more than who have less exposure. Moreover, socioeconomic status of women such as education, wealth are found to vary across family planning.
