These youth are a subgroup of a nationally representative sample of 15,367 women age 15-49 and 2,607 men age 15-59 interviewed in the year 2000 and 14,070 women age 15-49 and 6,033 men age 15-59 interviewed in the year 2005. Data collected show that Ethiopia has made great progress in various reproductive health indicators over the past five years. This report discusses trends in youth reproductive health, including sexual experience and marriage, contraceptive knowledge and use, fertility and childbearing, maternal and child health, and HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections.
