Authors’ elaboration on round 7 of DHS, where individuals were interviewed between 2015 and 2019. We regress through a linear probability model whether the woman uses modern contraception or whether she used the internet. With term HH characteristics, we mean whether the woman lives with her partner, the number of living children and the household. Wealth in quintiles. SEs are robust to heteroscedasticity. 95% CIs in brackets.
