 Teenage pregnancy is a global health issue that

adversely affects birth outcomes and can lead to
intergenerational cycles of poverty and ill-health.
In all settings, teenage pregnancies are more likely
to occur in communities affected by social and
economic disadvantage.

Despite the decline of global adolescent birth rates from 65 to

47 births per 1000 women between 1990 and 2015, teenage
pregnancies remain unacceptably high especially in developing
countries (Odejimi et al., 2016; Odimegwu and Mkwananzi,
2016). While this overall decline is generally regarded as a
welcome trend, the pathways leading to teenage parenthood are
diverse, and not all pregnancies are unintended or unwanted
(Mann L., June 2020).
 HOW IS TEENAGE
PREGNANCY A
VARIABLE TOWARDs
increased poverty
 Teenage pregnancy can be a
contributing factor to increased poverty
for several reasons. Firstly, it can result
in young people having to leave school
and forego educational opportunities,
which can limit their future earning
potential.
In some cases, the father of the
child may not provide financial
support, leaving the burden of
care solely on the teenage
mother.
It's also important to note that poverty can also
contribute to the likelihood of teenage
pregnancy. Young people living in poverty may
not have access to comprehensive sexual
education and contraception, increasing their risk
of unintended pregnancy.
In order to address the issue of teenage pregnancy and
its impact on poverty, it's crucial to provide
comprehensive sex education, access to contraception,
and support for young mothers. Additionally, addressing
poverty through initiatives that increase access to
education, job opportunities, and healthcare can also
have a positive impact on reducing the rate of teenage
pregnancy.
 Risk Factors
Experiencing any of the following may put a teen at a
higher risk of becoming pregnant:
Being the victim of sexual abuse
Drug and alcohol use
Having sex at a young age
Lack of knowledge about sex or contraception
Poor peer relationships
Pressure from peers to have sex
Limited communication between parents and teen
Negative family interactions
Poor parental supervision

Causes of teenage
pregnancy
Lack of comprehensive
sexual education
Many teenagers lack access to
comprehensive and accurate sexual
education, which can result in them
being uninformed about contraception
and the risks of unprotected sex.
Peer pressure and early
sexual activity
Peer pressure can play a significant
role in encouraging early sexual
activity among teenagers, which can
increase the risk of unintended
pregnancy.
Peer pressure Poverty and limited
access to healthcare and early
sexual activity

Teenagers living in poverty are more

likely to become pregnant due to
limited access to healthcare, including
family planning services and
contraception.
 It's important to note that
teenage pregnancy is a complex
issue and can be influenced by a
variety of factors, including
individual, societal, and
cultural factors.
 why is it important
for us to know that
teenage pregnancy is
a variable to
increased poverty?
 Knowing the relationship
between teenage pregnancy and
increased poverty is important
for several reasons:
Social and economic
implications:

Teenage pregnancy can have a

significant impact on the social and
economic well-being of both the
mother and the child.
Community impact:
The effects of teenage pregnancy can
also extend to the community,
particularly in areas with high rates of
poverty.
Public health:

Teenage pregnancy can also have

negative effects on the health of
both the mother and the child.
 In conclusion, recognizing the
relationship between teenage
pregnancy and poverty is important
for improving the well-being of
individuals and communities,
 HOW TO PREVENT
TEENAGE PREGNANCY?
 Preventing teenage pregnancy
requires a comprehensive
approach that involves
education, access to
contraception, and open
communication between teens
and their caregivers, teachers,
and healthcare providers.
 Comprehensive Sex
Education
Teens need access to accurate, evidence-
based information about sexual health,
including information about pregnancy
prevention.
Encouraging Healthy
Relationships
Promoting healthy relationships,
including those that are respectful and
free from violence, can help reduce the
risk of unintended pregnancy.
 PROCESSING QUESTIONS:
What Empowerment
Technology did you use to
research the issue?
The empowerment technology that we used to
research the issue is Google Search and Internet
Archive.
What advanced word tools did
you use to develop a creative
presentation of your project
title?
We used two advanced word tools to develop a
creative presentation of your project. We used
Google Docs for our written report and Canva
for our presentation.
What are the advanced Powerpoint
tips you apply in creating a slide
for presenting your project title
and your answers to the
processing questions?
1. Keep it simple
Complex slide designs tend to distract your audience from your talk
and keep them from understanding your message. White space in the
slide helps the audience focus on what you talk about.
2. Limit bullet points and text
It is not good practice to bombard your audience with lots of text
because it would strain the eyes of the viewers and bores your
audience.

3. Limit transitions and builds (animations)

Use appropriate animations for text especially for bullet points; swipe
left/right is enough for bullet points.
 4. Use High-quality graphics
Using high resolution photographs instead of clip art images.

5. Have a visual theme, but avoid using PowerPoint

templates.
It is essential that you create a theme to give your presentation a
sense of unity and consistency. PowerPoint has several built-in
themes and templates but, according to Reynolds, PowerPoint
templates make an audience feel that the presentation is prepackaged
and isn't that professional.
6. Use appropriate charts.
There are many different kinds of charts available in MS Office, so
keep from dumping too much information in your charts and tables.

7. Use Color well

Color suggests feelings and emotions. the correct use of color in the
right place and the right time increases audience interest and develops
better understanding and retention of the topic you are discussing.
8. Choose your fonts well
Fonts can deliver subtle messages, which is why picking which to use
is important.

9. Use video or audio

Video and audio help increases the audience's interest in your topic
and they also help you make your point better.
10. Spend time in the slide sorter
Slide sorter view, you will see the logical flow of your presentation
and can see which slide needs to be broken up into multiple slides to
improve the understandability of your presentation.

more clear.
