This article analyzes the determinants of contraceptive use in Bangladesh, focusing on the roles of demand for additional children and of family planning service supply. Data from the Matlab Family Planning Health Services Project are used to examine the contributions of these factors to the difference in prevalence of modern contraceptive use between the project area and a control area served by the government family planning and health programs. Results of multivariate analysis deriving from the Easterlin synthesis framework show the importance of family planning supply factors in reducing psychic and resource costs of fertility regulation and in activating latent demand for contraception. Demand for birth limiting and for birth spacing emerge as important explanatory factors; demand for birth spacing is greater in the project area, and both demand measures exert a stronger effect on contraceptive behavior in that area.
本文分析了孟加拉国避孕措施使用的决定因素，重点关注对更多子女的需求以及计划生育服务供应所起的作用。来自马特莱布计划生育健康服务项目的数据被用于检验这些因素对项目地区与由政府计划生育和健康项目服务的对照地区之间现代避孕措施使用普及率差异的影响。源自伊斯特林综合框架的多变量分析结果表明，计划生育供应因素在降低生育调节的心理和资源成本以及激活潜在避孕需求方面具有重要意义。限制生育和生育间隔的需求成为重要的解释因素；生育间隔的需求在项目地区更大，并且这两种需求衡量指标对该地区的避孕行为都产生更强的影响。
