Abstract

The study analyzed the influence socio-demographical variables on male spouses’ support of family planning
(FP) uptake by wives in Ibadan North East Local Government area of Oyo State. Six research questions were
raised to assist the research. The study adopted the descriptive survey research design of the ex-post facto type.
The multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 400 respondents. A self-developed questionnaire with
four sub-sections was used to collect data. Date was analyzed using simple percentages and frequency counts for
demographic information about the respondents, while research questions were tested using descriptive statistics
and regression analysis. The results showed that the level of the involvement of men in family planning
procedures of their wives was high. Also, it was revealed that education (F4/387 = 16.362; P < .05), age (F5/387 =
20.252; P < .05), occupation (F5/387 = 7.758, P < .05), nature of marriage (F2/387 = 18.034, P < .05), and preferred
family size (F4/387 = 20.336, P < .05) were significant in determining male spouse involvement in family
planning procedures of their wives. It is therefore concluded that any failure of male spouse to support the family
planning procedures of their wives has little or no cultural undertone. Rather, it is a matter of choice and mere
attitude/negative misconception and/or perceptions towards family planning, and that FP is a woman’s affair.
