Why This Indicator Matters
Three quarters of teen births are unintended, and children both to teen mothers have a higher probability of being born prematurely, at low birth weight, or dying as infants. They also have generally poorer educational outcomes. Teen mothers are also less likely than older mothers to have finished high school or attend college.[i]
