Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to trace the pattern of contraceptive use in Australia during the past 50 years, discussing reasons and circumstances related to the changing preference for specific methods, against the background of demographic trends in childbearing and woman's changing role in society. The analysis is based on unique information regarding married couples and young adults in Australia obtained from large-scale demographic surveys carried out in Melbourne during 1971 and 1977 by the Department of Demography at the Australian National University.Keywords
