TEENAGE PREGNANCY

THIS PAGE IS FOR OUR PROJECT ONLY THANK YOU
Adolescent pregnancies are a global problem that occurs in high-, middle-, and low-income countries. Around the world, adolescent pregnancies are more likely to occur in marginalized communities, commonly driven by poverty and a lack of education and employment opportunities.
WHAT CAN BE DONE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF TEENAGE PREGNANCY?
Teenage pregnancy is being acknowledged as a national issue. What actions need to be implemented to address the issue of teen pregnancy?
We must do something to stop children from having early relationships. I think that parents should talk to their children about birth control or have the family doctor talk to their children about this issue, and teenagers should look at how a pregnancy would affect them.
BACKGROUND
Teenage pregnancy is a global issue that raises concerns for all who are interested in the health and well-being of young women and their children. It carries major health and social issues with unique medical and psychosocial consequences for both adolescents and society in general. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and factors associated with teenage pregnancy in eastern Ethiopia.
SITUATION and PROBLEM
The global adolescent fertility rate was 42 births per 1000 women aged 15–19 in 2018. In the Philippines, the adolescent fertility rate was high at 55 births per 1000 women aged 15–19 in the same yearescent fertility rate was high at 55 births per 1000 women aged 15–19 in the same year. The Philippines has the second-highest teenage pregnancy rate in East Asia and the Pacific and is the only country showing an upward trend. In contrast, other countries in the region have declining rates of teenage pregnancy.

Teenage fertility rates
The number of births per 1,000 females between the ages of 15 and 19 is considered the teenage fertility rate (statistics for girls under 15 are unstable due to low numbers, and they are not regularly collected).2,7 Rates of teenage fatherhood are not recorded. Although there is significant variation among populations, national data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics show a decline in teenage fertility rates over time (Figure 1). 9 While the rate in 2015 for non-Indigenous teenage girls was nine per 1000 adolescents, it was 53 per 1000 among adolescents who identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders, with the rate highest in populations living in remote areas. Figure 2 demonstrates that the rate of teenage pregnancies rose as remoteness rose, but this tendency was more pronounced.
