    Boxplot Distribution of Within-Country Disparity in Family Planning Demand Met With Modern Methods (Percentage Point) Between the Most- and Least-Advantaged Subgroups,* by Background Characteristic

    All disparity measures are among women in union, except disparity by union status, which is among all women.

    Length of the box represents the interquartile range, the horizontal line in the box is median, the vertical line is a range of lower and upper adjacent values, and dots are outside values.

    Data were from the latest DHS from 55 countries.

    * Disparity by age or administrative unit represents the largest possible absolute gap among all subgroups.

    Correlation Matrix Among Various Disparities in Family Planning Demand Met With Modern Methods, With Correlation Coefficient

    * P value <.05; ** P value <.01.

    For education, household wealth, and residential area, disparity is between the most- and least-advantaged subgroups. For age and administrative unit, disparity represents the largest possible absolute gap among all subgroups.

    Data are from the latest DHS from 55 countries.

    All disparity measures are among women in union, except disparity by union status, which is among all women.

    • ↵a Disparity by age or administrative unit represents the largest possible absolute gap among all sub-groups. All disparity measures are among women in union, except disparity by union status which is among all women.

    • ↵b Multivariate models include 2 covariates: year and national average.

    • Note: Sample size for regression is 213 surveys from 55 countries, except disparity by union status where only 161 surveys from 45 countries were available for analysis.
