DHS female file has two variables
v624 -- unmet need
v626 -- unmet need (definition 2)
These two variable may be used to compute unmet need

The web page http://www.measuredhs.com/topics/Unmet-Need.cfm also includes links to code in SPSS and Stata for calculating the new revised definition of unmet need (v626a) for older surveys. There are two sets of code - one for the general definition of unmet need, and one that contains the survey-specific logic needed to handle survey-specific differences for older surveys.
