Teenage births

Births per 1,000 women aged 15 to 19.

The adolescent fertility rate is the number of births per 1,000 women aged 15 to 19 in a year. Early motherhood often cuts short a girl's schooling and carries higher health risks for mother and child. The UN Population Division estimates it in its World Population Prospects from censuses, surveys and birth registers, and the World Bank republishes it.
