Notes: These are model-based estimates, which allow us to assess how certain we are of these trends. For example, there is a 94% probability that the unintended pregnancy rate decreased since 1990–1994 and an 89% probability that the percentage of unintended pregnancies ending in abortion increased over this period. For information on how to interpret and use these country-specific model-based estimates, see our fact sheet, Unintended Pregnancy and Abortion Worldwide: Country-level Estimates Explained.

Subregions used in comparisons follow United Nations Statistics Division groupings.
