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%[1] and 2.8%.[2] Many men and women also underwent the forced sterilization programs of the 1970s and 1980s.[3]
