REDUCING THE RISK OF RAPID POPULATION


TEENAGE PREGNANCY
 Teenage pregnancy is a global health
issue that adversely affects birth outcomes
and can lead to intergenerational cycles of
poverty and ill-health. In all settings,
teenage pregnancies are more likely to
occur in communities affected by social
and economic disadvantage. (Mann,
Bateson, Black, 2020)
Premarital sex
 Sexual intercourse before marriage
 Premarital sex can lead to pregnancy, abortion, damage of
uterus, drop out of school and it can also affect future
marriages. The paper identified family and peer influence,
pornography, drug abuse, alcoholism, and poverty as the
factors that induce premarital sex.

mothers are more likely to experience posttraumatic
stress disorder (PTSD) than other teenage women, as
well.
In physical health- Higher risks of eclampsia,
puerperal endometritis and systemic infections than
women aged 20–24 years, and babies of adolescent
mothers face higher risks of low birth weight, preterm
birth and severe neonatal condition.
Effects of teenage pregnancy
In economy- less likely to complete higher education and
have lesser ability to earn more income over the course of
a lifetime, causing economic losses to the country.
On the family- Unmarried pregnant adolescents may
face stigma or rejection by parents and peers as well as
threats of violence.
On society- A child having a baby as a teenager is more
likely to face critical social issues like poverty, poor
education, risky behaviors that lead to poor health issues,
and child welfare. The financial cost of teens having
babies is financially devastating.
