Rates of unintended pregnancies, abortions vary widely within the same region and geographies, it says

The world has not been successful in reducing inequalities concerning access to sexual and reproductive healthcare, according to a new study by the World Health Organization (WHO).

This is reflected by the fact that the rates of unintended pregnancies and abortions vary widely within the same region and geographies. The income level of a country does not impact these indicators, contrary to general assumptions.

The study also found that rates of unintended pregnancies in some high-income countries were greater than the region’s average, although they were most common among low-income countries.

The study — published in BMJ Global Health this month — was conducted by The Guttmacher Institute, the WHO and the United Nations’ Human Reproduction Programme (HRP).

European countries that recorded higher unintended pregnancy rates than the regional average actually had a high income. These include the United Kingdom, Greece, Finland, France, Iceland and Sweden among others.
