Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive
Health (ASRH) is one of five areas of focus of the World
Banks Reproductive Health Action Plan 2010 - 2015 (RHAP),
which recognizes the importance of addressing ASRH as a
development issue with important implications for poverty
reduction. Delaying childbearing and preventing unplanned
pregnancies during adolescence has been shown to improve
health outcomes and increase opportunities for schooling,
future employment, and earnings (Greene and Merrick, 2005).
Delaying childbearing and preventing unplanned pregnancies
improves health outcomes and increases opportunities for
schooling, future employment, and earnings. A couple of key
messages were relayed in this brief. An analysis of data
from six countries showed that adolescent childbearing is
closely tied to marital status. Around half (ranging from 42
percent in Nepal to 55 percent in Nigeria) of ever-married
adolescent women have given birth. In comparison,
non-marital adolescent childbearing is rare in all countries
studied. In Bangladesh and Burkina Faso, childbearing among
ever-married adolescent women is positively associated with
rural residence, less wealth, and less education. |
