• What is teenage pregnacy?

– Teenage pregnancy is pregnancy in

females under the age of 20. A female can
become pregnant from sexual intercourse
after she has begun to ovulate, which can be
before her first menstrual period (menarche)
but usually occurs after the onset of her
periods.
• According to the Philippine Statistics Authority, one
in ten young Filipino women age 15-19 has begun
childbearing.
• Early pregnancy and motherhood varies by education, wealth
quintile, and region. It is more common among young adult
women age 15 to 24 with less education than among those
with higher education (44 percent for women with elementary
education versus 21 percent for women with college
education). Early childbearing is also more common in Caraga
(38 percent) and Cagayan Valley (37 percent) than other
regions. The proportion of young adult women who have
begun childbearing is higher among those classified as
belonging to poor households than those in wealthier
households (37 percent for young women in the lowest wealth
quintile versus 13 percent for women in the highest wealth
quintile).
