According to a 2015 UN report, it was found that 78.7% of South Korean women (who were married/in unions and of reproductive age) used some form contraception. The most common methods were condoms (23.9%), male sterilization (16.5%), IUDs (12.6%), the rhythm method (9.7%) and female sterilization (5.8%).[1] Meanwhile, the usage of birth control pills by South Korean was very low, with estimates ranging between 2%[2] and 2.8%.[3] Many men and women also underwent the forced sterilization programs of the 1970s and 1980s.[4]
