The recent report, Unwanted fertility in South Africa "reveals that about 20% of all births in the five years preceding the 2016 Demographic and Health Survey  (including pregnancies at the time), happened when women were not planning on having any more children. The term “unwanted” means that no additional birth as recalled at the time of conception was wanted."
