SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF THE NON-UTILIZATION OF MODERN CONTRACEPTIVE METHODS AMONG WOMEN IN UNION IN RURAL BURUNDI

Abstract

This article focuses on the factors that influence married women living in rural areas not to use modern contraceptive methods, which are nevertheless considered as fundamental tools not only to contain the observation of high fertility but also to improve maternal health and infantile. In this dialectic of "choice - no choice", Boudon's methodological individualism is best suited to serve as a theoretical basis, while the quantitative approach has made it possible to demonstrate the cause and effect link between eleven determinants for the non-use of modern contraceptive methods for married women of rural areas at Burundi. Among the 11 determinants, 8 explain the phenomenon studied at the 5% level while 3 have no significant effect at the set threshold.
