The use of contraceptive methods by sexually active women, aged 15 to 49 years old, increased in Belgium from 2001 to 2018. In 2001, 75,5 percent of Belgian women used contraception, whereas, in 2018, roughly 84 percent of women used one in Belgium. However, the use of contraception seemed to decrease a little in 2004, therefore contrasting this rise.
