Abstract

Using data from the 2008 and 2013 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) and Instrumental Variables (IV) probit strategy, I estimate the effect of a wife’s negotiation power on the probability of a wife choosing a “cooperative family planning method.” The results show that a unit increase in the “index of a wife’s negotiation power” generates a 10-percentage point z-score increase in the probability of usage of a cooperative contraceptive method. This paper argues that by creating awareness about cooperative methods and making alternate contraceptives targeted towards men, there will be balanced expectation and collaboration to choose methods that are cooperative.
