| description |
Measures of early childbirth are high in
Mozambique. The share of women ages 18-22 who had a child
before 18 is 39.0 percent and it has increased over time.
The share of women who had a child before the age of 15, at
six percent, has however decreased. Early childbirth is
associated with lower wealth, lower education levels, and
higher employment. These are however only correlations, not
necessarily causal effects. In order to design programs and
policies to reduce the prevalence of early childbirth,
information is needed on its trend over time, where it is
most prevalent in a country, and what the characteristics of
girls giving birth early are. |
