Young adults’ reproductive health is steadily improving in Ethiopia, but there is still much room for improvement. Trends in Youth Reproductive Health in Ethiopia, 2000 and 2005 compares results from the 2000 and 2005 Ethiopia Demographic and Health Surveys (EDHS) for young adults ages 15-24. It was funded by the Packard Foundation. The report looks closely at changes in key indicators, such as sexual activity, use of contraception, and unmet need for family planning. Sexual activity among young men has dropped dramatically since 2000, when 44 percent had ever had sexual intercourse. By contrast, five years later, 23 percent of young men had had sex. Sexual activity among young women also decreased during that time while their use of contraception increased.
