| Description | This report presents a survey of teenage birth rates in the industrialized world. It attempts at least a partial analysis of why some countries have teenage birth rates that are ten or even fifteen times higher than others. Teenage births are today seen as a problem, because they are strongly associated with a range of disadvantages for the mother, for her child, for society in general, and for taxpayers in particular. As a contribution to the debate how teenage births can be reduced, the report draws on international experience and comparison to establish facts and trends, to identify some of the forces that offer young people both motive and means to delay childbearing, and to look at what might be learnt from those societies which have already succeeded in reducing the problem to unprecedentedly low levels. |
