  • Time to first sexual experience and its predictors among young women (15–24 years) in Zambia

    Open AccessEmmanuel Musonda, Peter Mumba et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Early sexual experience among young women increases the risk of unintended pregnancies, sexually transmitted infections, and adverse psychosocial and health outcomes. Examining the timing to first sexual experience is very vital in informing sexual and reproductive health policies and interventions aimed at reducing the health risks among young women. However, there is limited recent evidence in Zambia, particularly studies utilizing nationally r…

  • Spousal Violence and Spousal Education Difference in Zambia a Cross Sectional Comparative Analysis of Three Demographic Health Survey Cycles

    Open AccessMwewa Elizabeth Kasonde, Bwalya Bupe Bwalya et al.ARTICLEJournal of Law and Social Sciences2025

    The study aimed to establish the association between spousal education difference and spousal violence among married women in Zambia. The article invokes individual women’s datasets from the 2007, 2013-14 and 2018 Zambia Demographic and Health Surveys (ZDHSs). Currently married women 15-49 years of age who had responded to the domestic violence module formed the core of the sample (2007: 3,216; 2013-14: 7.069; 2018:5,338). Multivariate binary log…

  • Decoding fertility behaviour of married women in Zambia

    Open AccessBwalya Bupe Bwalya, Clifford O Odimegwu et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Despite national efforts and a decrease in total fertility rate, Zambia’s fertility remains high compared to global and regional averages. While previous research has examined the influence of bio-demographic and socio-economic factors, it has neglected the role of overlooked intermediate variables such as age at first marriage, contraception use, and abortion. This study investigated the influence of these variables, while controlling for bio-de…

  • Unravelling the interplay between economic empowerment, gender equality, and desire for additional children among married women in sub-Saharan Africa

    Open AccessBwalya Bupe Bwalya, Clifford O Odimegwu et al.ARTICLEJournal of Population Research2025References: 6

    Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) continues to grapple with high fertility, often linked to women’s fertility desire for more children. However, this desire can be impacted by low economic empowerment and prevailing gender inequalities. Therefore, this study aimed at understanding how these two factors influence the desire for additional children in the region. This study analysed pooled weighted Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) data (2015–2022) from …

  • The association between contraceptive use and desired number of children among sexually active men in Zambia

    Open AccessBwalya Bupe Bwalya, Mwewa E Kasonde et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    There were minimal differences in the desired number of children among males who reported using and not using any contraceptive method. Strategies aimed at encouraging contraception use should cover all categories of males to achieve universal involvement of men in family planning in Zambia. Future research may consider combining both qualitative and quantitative methods to look holistically at the demographic, socio-economic and cultural factors…

  • Association between sexual violence and unintended pregnancy among married women in Zambia

    Open AccessMwewa E Kasonde, Bwalya Bupe Bwalya et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    Spousal sexual violence is highly associated with unintended pregnancies in Zambia. Addressing intimate partner sexual violence is among the ways to prevent unintended pregnancies. It is also important to sensitize women on reporting acts of sexual violence to relevant authorities as this will not only prevent reoccurrence of sexual violence but also reduce unintended pregnancies and associated long-term effects
