The report “Targeting Groups of Women to Reduce Unmet Family Planning Need” (2022), authored by Judith C. Koops, examines factors contributing to unmet family planning needs among women in the Republic of Moldova using data from the Generations and Gender Survey (GGS-II). It identifies vulnerable groups, including women in the lowest income quintile, those with low or medium education, and those nearing the end of their childbearing years. The study highlights the role of access to contraceptives, fertility intentions, and socio-economic barriers. Recommendations include targeted policies to improve access to family planning, increase contraceptive use, and address disparities among disadvantaged groups.
