table_text: There are substantial differences in current use according to place of residence and level of education. Twenty-three percent of women on the Mainland are currently using a family planning method (33 percent in urban areas and 18 percent in rural areas), as opposed to 14 percent in Zanzibar (7 percent in Pemba and 19 percent in Unguja). Education also plays an important part: only 14 percent of women with no education currently use a method, compared to 43 percent for those who have secondary education or a higher level. Although levels of current use are higher among men, they show the same geographic and education differences as among women.
