In recent decades, increased attention has been given to unmet need for family planning in developing countries. Previous research tends to ignore men's unmet need as related to existing power relations at the household level, communication between spouses, age gap between spouses, and socio-economic status. This research attempts to examine whether age gap, power relations, communication, and socioeconomic status really matter and to what extent these factors influence men's unmet need for family planning. This study also focuses on variation based on place of residence and number of sons, as well as individual-level and household-level variation based on selected variables.

520 $a In recent decades, increased attention has been given to unmet need for family planning in developing countries. Previous research tends to ignore men's unmet need as related to existing power relations at the household level, communication between spouses, age gap between spouses, and socio-economic status. This research attempts to examine whether age gap, power relations, communication, and socioeconomic status really matter and to what extent these factors influence men's unmet need for family planning. This study also focuses on variation based on place of residence and number of sons, as well as individual-level and household-level variation based on selected variables.
520 $a This research uses data from Demographic and Health Survey 2000 of Bangladesh. In order to get required variables for the present study, husbands' and wives' data have been merged. The final sample size is 1971 married men. A logistic regression model and a hierarchical linear model have been performed to analyze the data. Out of 1971 men, 383 men and 326 men have unmet need to limit and to space births, respectively. Multivariate model results suggest that men have more unmet need to limit births and space births if women do not have power in the household. If the age gap between spouses increases, men experience more unmet need to limit births and less unmet need to space births. If men and women disagree with each other about fertility preferences, men are more likely to experience unmet need for family planning for limiting and spacing purposes. An indicator of socio-economic status, education significantly affects men's unmet need for family planning. Multi-level model results suggest that all individual level variables significantly affect men's unmet need for family planning.
520 $a The results of this study suggest that to address men's unmet need for family planning, a broad approach with emphasis on men's needs to be taken. This study recommends balancing power in the family, reducing the age gap between spouses, improving communication between spouses, and getting a minimum amount of education to reduce unmet need for family planning and improvement of overall socio-economic conditions of Bangladesh as well.
