Every day, in every corner of the world, over 100 million women swallow
a small pill. This oral contraceptive pill, which contains a large
dose of female hormones, is the most popular form of birth control
among married women in the world, except in India. In the United
States, over 80% of all women born after 1945 have used birth control
pills at some point during their childbearing years as their preferred
method of contraception, and it is the most common form of
birth control for sexually active unmarried women in sub-Saharan
Africa. Approximately 7.6 million women who live in China use the
pill, which is the largest national population of birth control pill
users according to a 2000 study by the Johns Hopkins University
School of Public Health’s Population Information Program (Figure
1.1). Nearly one-half of married women in Western Europe were
using the pill in 2000, which totaled 60% of all contraceptive users.
Today, the United States ranks sixth in the number of pill users (5.6
million), behind China, Germany, Indonesia, Brazil, and Bangladesh.
In France, 95% of all women who have been sexually active have used
the pill, as opposed to only 4% of Japanese women. The Japanese
government only approved the pill in 1999. And in Canada, 7 of 10
pill users over 35 years old have used it for 10 years or more.
