This study aimed to explore the factors associated with the unmet need for contraception among young women in Indonesia. Further analysis of a cross-sectional study of the 2017 Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey was carried out. The analysis was restricted to 4,017 married women aged 15 to 24 in Indonesia. The outcome of this study was that there is an unmet need for contraception. Logistic regression was performed to estimate the adjusted odds ratio. Generally, the unmet need for family planning among young women is still high, and the figure is 9.3% for young married women. Unmet need was higher among women in particular groups, including those with more children, women who were cohabiting, those with a higher level of education, living in rural areas, if their husbands wanted more children, and where other family members in the household made the decision for access to healthcare. Access to reproductive health information and services must be increased to address the unmet need for contraception among young women. Promoting the ideal age for marriage and expanding access to education are essential measures
