MANAGEMENT OF PREGNANCIES AGAINST TEENAGERS (15-18YEARS) EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

Around the world, teenager’s pregnancies are more likely to occur in marginalized communities, normally driven by poverty, lack of education and employment opportunities. The aim of this study is to explain how adolescent pregnancies are a global problem that occurs in high, middle and low income countries. On the other hand, some adolescents, pregnancy and childbirth are planned for and wanted it that way. In some contexts, many girls face social pressure to marry and once married to have children, each year about 15 million girls are married before the age of 18year and 90% of births to girls aged 15 to 18 year occur within marriage.
