      ab: A study was conducted to examine the influence of gender context both on husband-wife concordance in the demand for children and on the impact of each spouse's fertility preferences on contraceptive use in five Asian countries. Data were gathered from Pakistan, India, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines. The results indicate that gender context had little net effect on couples' concordance, but it influenced the relative weight of the individual spouses' preferences in determining contraceptive use. It is revealed that husbands' pronatalism was found to contribute to wives' unmet needs to a relatively small degree, particularly in situations where the unmet need is high.
