The prevalence of contraceptive use among Japanese women aged 15 to 49 saw a significant decline in 2015. According to recent data, only 40% of women in this age group reported using contraceptives, a stark drop from the nearly 55% recorded in 2014. This represents a decrease of approximately 27 percentage points in just one year. The sharp decline has raised concerns and sparked discussions among health professionals and policymakers alike.
