Abstract
Using the data derived from the three national surveys, this article attempts to find the effect of sex preference on the use of contraception. The findings showed that in the absence of sex preference, there would have been an increase in the contraceptive prevalence rate indicating that sex preference is still prevalent in Bangladesh. But this effect has been weakened with increase in contraceptive prevalence rate. Analysis of variance suggests that son preference is an important determinant of contraceptive use.
