In 1990, there were around 173 teen pregnancies among teens aged 18 to 19 years per 1,000 women in the United States. This rate had decreased to about 50 per 1,000 by the year 2020. This statistic depicts the U.S. pregnancy rate among teenagers from 1973 to 2020, by age group.

Between 2000 and 2020 the teenage pregnancy rate in England and Wales has declined across all age groups, despite a noticeable uptick in the mid 1990s which kept the overall rate over 60 until 2008, when the rate started to decrease, eventually reaching a low of 26.3 by 2020. For 2021, the rate increased slightly for under 18s, up to 13.2 from 13.1, with the rate not changing for under 16s and under 20s.

This dataset includes teen birth rates for females by age group, race, and Hispanic origin in the United States since 1960.

Data availability varies by race and ethnicity groups. All birth data by race before 1980 are based on race of the child. Since 1980, birth data by race are based on race of the mother. For race, data are available for Black and White births since 1960, and for American Indians/Alaska Native and Asian/Pacific Islander births since 1980. Data on Hispanic origin are available since 1989. Teen birth rates for specific racial and ethnic categories are also available since 1989. From 2003 through 2015, the birth data by race were based on the “bridged” race categories (5). Starting in 2016, the race categories for reporting birth data changed; the new race and Hispanic origin categories are: Non-Hispanic, Single Race White; Non-Hispanic, Single Race Black; Non-Hispanic, Single Race American Indian/Alaska Native; Non-Hispanic, Single Race Asian; and, Non-Hispanic, Single Race Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (5,6). Birth data by the prior, “bridged” race (and Hispanic origin) categories are included through 2018 for comparison.

National data on births by Hispanic origin exclude data for Louisiana, New Hampshire, and Oklahoma in 1989; New Hampshire and Oklahoma in 1990; and New Hampshire in 1991 and 1992. Birth and fertility rates for the Central and South American population includes other and unknown Hispanic. Information on reporting Hispanic origin is detailed in the Technical Appendix for the 1999 public-use natality data file (see ftp://ftp.cdc.gov/pub/Health_Statistics/NCHS/Dataset_Documentation/DVS/natality/Nat1999doc.pdf).

In 1973, there were 580,530 teen pregnancies among women aged 18-19 years in the United States. This figure had decreased to 205,410 by 2020. This statistic illustrates the number of teen pregnancies in the United States from 1973 to 2020, by age.

Number of teen pregnancies and rates per 1,000 females, by pregnancy outcome (live births, induced abortions, or fetal loss), by age group (under 20 years, 20 to 24 years, 25 to 29 years, 30 to 34 years, 35 to 39 years, or 40 years and over), 1974 to 2005.

In 1991, the birth rate for girls aged 10 to 14 years in the United States stood at 1.4 births per every thousand girls. Since 1991, this rate has consistently decreased, dropping to .2 in the year 2023. This statistic depicts the number of births per thousand U.S. females aged 10 to 14 years between 1991 and 2023. Teenage pregnancy and contraception Over the years, the rate of teenage pregnancy and birth has declined in the United States, most likely due to lower rates of sexual activity in this age group as well as increased use of birth control methods. However, the use and accessibility of contraceptives remains a problem in many parts of the United States. For example, in 2021, only 21 percent of sexually active high school students reported using the birth control pill to prevent pregnancy before their last sexual intercourse. This rate was highest among white high students and lowest among Black students, with only 11 percent reporting use of the birth control pill before their last intercourse. Condom use is more prevalent among high school students than use of the pill, but still only just over half of high school students reported using a condom the last time they had sex as of 2021. Disparities in teenage pregnancy Although rates have decreased over the past decades, teenage pregnancy and birth rates in the U.S. are still higher than in other Western countries. Geographic, racial, and ethnic disparities in teen birth rates are still prevalent within the country. In 2023, teenage birth rates were highest among Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders. Other contributing factors to high teen birth rates also include poor socioeconomic conditions, low education, and low-income status.

Teenage birth rate is number of live births among females ages 15 to 19 years per 1,000 females in that age group in a year. Data are for Santa Clara County residents. The measure is summarized for total county population by mother's zip code of residence at the time of birth. Data are presented for pooled years combined and are available for three time periods.

This map shows the teen pregnancy rate per 1,000 females age 15 to 17 by county. Counties are shaded based on quartile distribution. The lighter shaded counties have a lower percentage of teen pregnancy. The darker shaded counties have a higher percentage of teen pregnancy. New York State Community Health Indicator Reports (CHIRS) were developed in 2012, and are updated annually to consolidate and improve data linkages for the health indicators included in the County Health Assessment Indicators (CHAI) for all communities in New York. The CHIRS present data for more than 300 health indicators that are organized by 15 different health topics. Data if provided for all 62 New York State counties, 11 regions (including New York City), the State excluding New York City, and New York State.

More than 306,000 live births from women and girls younger than 20 were registered in Brazil in 2022. The Northeast was the region with the highest number of live births carried out by teenage girls, exceeding 98,000 in the age range from 15 to 19, and adding up to 5.197 in the case of girls younger than 15. In total, more than 12,700 pregnancies were carried to term by girls who had not reached the age of 15 at the moment of birth.

Indicators in the Child and maternal health profiles and Sexual and reproductive health profiles have been updated. The profiles give data at a local, regional and national level to inform the development and provision of family planning, antenatal and maternity care.

This release updates indicators relating to:

• conceptions, abortions and birth rates for women under 18 and conceptions for women under 16
• ethnicity and age of mothers
• premature births
• admissions of babies aged under 14 days
• deliveries by caesarean section
• ectopic pregnancy
• pelvic inflammatory disease

Indicators which were due to have been updated in November 2021 have also been updated for:

• general fertility rates
• neonatal and post-neonatal deaths
• stillbirths
• multiple births
• low birthweight and very low birthweight of all babies

These indicators were not updated in 2021 because the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has led to delays in birth and death registrations which has delayed the publication of statistics by the Office for National Statistics which are the source data for these indicators.

In 2017, around 6,600 babies were live-born to teenage mothers—a rate of 9.2 live births per 1,000 females aged 15–19. Births to teenage mothers made up 2.2% of all live births. Births to teenage mothers decreased by more than 40% between 2006 and 2017 from 17.6 to 9.2 per 1,000 females aged 15–19.

The number of births registered among women and girls younger than 20 in Mexico has been continuously decreasing since 2010. In 2022, roughly 266,960 pregnancies were carried to term by teenagers who had not reached the age of 20.

The statistics show the live birth rate of teenage mothers, by the age of the mother in Germany from 2011 to 2020. Throughout this period the birth rate for mothers aged 19 and over has been the highest, reaching 16.9 per 1,000 women aged 19 in 2016.

In 2023, the birth rate among teenagers and young adult women aged 15 to 19 stood at 13.1 births per every thousand women. This statistic shows the U.S. birth rate among teenagers and young adult women, aged 15-19 years, between 1991 and 2023. Teenage pregnancy and birth Teenage pregnancy and births are related to a number of negative outcomes. Babies born to teenage mothers are more likely to be premature and have a low birth weight, and teen mothers often experience gestational hypertension and anemia. Additionally, there are significant adverse effects on socioeconomic and educational outcomes for teenage parents. Teenage pregnancy is usually unplanned and due to the negative consequences mentioned above the ratio of legal abortions to live births in the United States is highest among teenagers. In 2022, there were 374 legal abortions per 1,000 live births among girls and young women aged 15 to 19 years, compared a ratio of 284 legal abortions per 1,000 live births among women aged 20 to 24 years. Contraceptive use among teens Contraceptive use is the best way for sexually active teenagers to avoid unwanted pregnancies, but use and accessibility remain problems in the United States. In 2021, only 23 percent of high school girls in the U.S. used the birth control pill to prevent pregnancy before their last sexual intercourse. Use of the birth control pill to prevent pregnancy is highest among white teenagers and lowest among Black teenagers, with only 11 percent of Black teenagers reporting use in 2021. Condom use is more common among high school students, but still only around half of sexually active students reported using a condom during their last sexual intercourse in 2021.

This dataset contains California’s adolescent birth rate (ABR) by county, age group and race/ethnicity using aggregated years 2014-2016. The ABR is calculated as the number of live births to females aged 15-19 divided by the female population aged 15-19, multiplied by 1,000. Births to females under age 15 are uncommon and thus added to the numerator (total number of births aged 15-19) in calculating the ABR for aged 15-19. The categories by age group are aged 18-19 and aged 15-17; births occurring to females under aged 15 are added to the numerator for aged 15-17 in calculating the ABR for this age group. The race and ethnic groups in this table utilized five mutually exclusive race and ethnicity categories. These categories are Hispanic and the following Non-Hispanic categories of Multi-Race, Black, American Indian (includes Eskimo and Aleut), Asian and Pacific Islander (includes Hawaiian) combined, and White. Note that there are birth records with missing race/ethnicity or categorized as “Other” and not shown in the dataset but included in the ABR calculation overall.

About 104.6 out of every 1,000 Hispanic women aged 15 to 19 gave birth in 1991. In comparison, the birth rate for Hispanic women in that age group was just 21.3 out of every 1,000 women in 2022. This statistic shows birth rates among teenagers and young adult women in the U.S. aged 15 to 19 in 1991 to 2022, by race/ethnicity.

Map was updated in 2022 with (2013- 2017) five year birth rates for eight different indicators. Adolescent Fertility (Teen Birth) Rates and Trends, as well as Births By Attendant and Mother's Education. Also depicts population birth rates and percent first born births for the years 1998 through 2013.Comparing the years 2000-04 to the years 2005-09, adolescent fertility rates in NM trended down by 5.3% for women age 15-17 and up by 2.5% for women age 18-19. Comparing the years 2000-04 to the years 2009-13, adolescent fertility rates in NM trended down by 40.6% for women age 15-17 and down by 18.6% for women age 18-19.5 year counts and percentages of births by type of birth attendant for 108 NM Small Areas. In New Mexico (2005-2009) 68% of births were attended by a physician, 27% by a Certified Nurse Midwife, and 2.3% by a Licensed Midwife."Sixty-eight percent of births are attended by a midwife in Britain and 45 percent in the Netherlands, compared with 8 percent in the United States." - https://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/01/health/american-way-of-birth-costliest-in-the-world.htmlSource:Birth Data - NM Department of Health, Vital Records and Health Statistics Bureau, via https://ibis.health.state.nm.us/query/result/birth/BirthPopSarea/FertRate.html

As of 2018, 28 percent of women aged 20 to 24 gave birth before age 18 in Nicaragua. This was the highest birth rate before age 18 in the Latin American and Caribbean countries shown in the graph. Venezuela recorded the second highest adolescent birth rate, as around 24 percent of the women aged 20 to 24 had had a child before turning 18. Cuba, on the other hand, had one of the lowest birth rates before 18 in the region, at only 6 percent.

The adolescent birth rate in Latin America and the Caribbean stood at an average of 60.7 births per 1,000 women aged 15 to 19, according to 2020 estimates. The highest rate in the region was registered in Nicaragua and Honduras, where it surpassed 79 births per 1,000 women in that same age group as of 2022. In South America, Chile and Uruguay recorded some of the lowest teenage birth rates.

Presents the distribution of TOTAL, SINGLETON AND MULTIPLE early neonatal deaths for 2014 by Age at Death. This table outlines per cent by early neonatal deaths. The Perinatal Statistics Report 2014 is a report on national data on Perinatal events in 2014. Information on every birth in the Republic of Ireland is submitted to the National Perinatal Reporting System (NPRS). All births are notified and registered on a standard four part birth notification form (BNF01) which is completed where the birth takes place. Part 3 of this form is sent to the HPO for data entry and validation. The information collected includes data on pregnancy outcomes (with particular reference to perinatal mortality and important aspects of perinatal care), as well as descriptive social and biological characteristics of mothers giving birth.
