table_text: there has been a substantial increase in contraceptive use since the late 1970s, from 7 percent of married women in 1978 to 46 percent in 2008-09. The contraceptive prevalence rate remained the same between 1998 and 2003, but increased again between 2003 and 2008-09 at the same momentum as between 1993 and 1998. The increase in the overall contraceptive prevalence rate is fuelled by increased use of modern methods. Between 2003 and 2008-09, use of modern methods increased from 32 to 39 percent of married women, while use of traditional methods over the same time period actually decreased from 8 to 6 percent of married women.
