OBJECTIVES: The study determines socio-economic factors that influence the likelihood of a married woman in Indonesia on contraceptive choice. METHODS: The Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey data of 2007 was obtained from Measured DHS using a randomized subset of 1,470 observations.  Multinomial and binomial logistic regression were performed to assess assocations between long-term, short-term and no contraception with wife’s age, wife’s education, husband’s education, number of children ever born, wife’s religion, wife’s working status, husband’s occupation, and wealth index. RESULTS: Wife’s education, wealth index, number of children ever born, and wife’s age were statistically significant at the 95% CL.  Overall, accounting for all categorical levels of wife's education and wealth index both were statistically significant while the difference between each category were not statistically significant.  The wife's education at a secondary level (OR: 2.05; 95% CL, 1.26-3.35 ) was the most likely to choose any contraception (short or long term) while the wife with a wealth index (OR: 1.73; 95% CL, 1.24-2.42) at the third quintile was the most likely to choose any contraception (short or long term).  Within contraception categories (short or long term),  the wife with a higher education or in the top quintile of the wealth index was the most likely to choose short-term contraception.  For long-term contraception, the wife with a secondary education and in the third quintile of wealth were more likely to choose that method.  CONCLUSIONS: Wife's education and wealth index indicate contraceptive choice.  Between short-term and long-term contraceptive choice, wife's education and wealth index increases are indicative for short-term but not for long-term warranting analysis of other socio-economic factors in association.
