9 There is substantial agreement in the literature that women who become pregnant and give birth very early in their reproductive lives are subject to higher risks of complications or even death during pregnancy and birth and their children are also more vulnerable. Therefore, preventing births very early in a woman s life is an important measure to improve maternal Health and reduce infant mortality. Furthermore, women having children at an early age experience a curtailment of their opportunities for socio-economic improvement, particularly because young mothers are unlikely to keep on studying and, if they need to work, may find it especially difficult to combine family and work responsibilities. The adolescent birth rate provides also indirect evidence on access to reproductive Health since the youth, and in particular unmarried adolescent women, often experience difficulties in access to reproductive Health possible data sourcesPopulation censusHousehold surveysDefinitionThe annual number of births to women aged 15-19 years per 1,000 women in that age group.

The population estimates may suffer from limitations connected to age misreporting and coverage. For survey and census data, the main limitations concern age misreporting, birth omissions, misreporting the date of birth of the child, and sampling variability in the case of surveys.
