If the existing gaps are addressed, it could be expected that the already
large demand for contraception in South-East Asia will expand. In Indonesia,
for instance, it has been calculated that satisfying the unmet need
of married women for spacing (4 per cent) and limiting (5 per cent)
births would result in an increase in CPR from 61.4 to around 71 per cent
(BPS and Macro International, 2008,). The increase would be greater if
excluded groups such as single men and women are included, and if
prevention of STI/HIV is integrated in reproductive health programmes
for the general population. Growth in demand can also occur if the
switch from traditional to modern methods increases, discontinuation
of modern contraceptive use is reduced, and adherence in contraceptive
use, including consistent use of condom use, is enhanced (see Cleland
and others 2006)
