 Youth empowerment coecients for ideal number of children from separate linear multivariable regressions models among women age 15-29 
 [["", "Medium Empowerment", "High Empowerment"], ["Ethiopia 2016", "", ""], ["Haiti 2016-17", "", ""], ["Malawi 2015-16", "", ""], ["Mali 2018", "", ""], ["Nepal 2016", "", ""], ["Nigeria 2018", "", ""], ["Philippines 2017", "", ""], ["Senegal 2019", "", ""], ["Uganda 2016", "", ""], ["Zambia 2018-19", "", ""]] 
 <response> Mutlivariable models show that in 5 countries, women with medium and high empowerment have significantly lower ideal numbers of children than women with low empowerment (Figure 3). Even when controlling for background characteristics, medium and highly empowered young women in Nepal, Nigeria, Senegal, Uganda, and Zambia want fewer children than their less empowered peers. In Malawi the relationship holds true only for young women with high empowerment.
