It looks to me like UNICEF might have made a mistake here. US govt stats show 51 per 1000 (most recent = 53) as percent births to UNMARRIED WOMEN AGES 15–44. The most recent figure for births to females ages 15–17 is 22.2 per 1,000 (2007). This doesn't reflect all teenage births; however it looks like something is wrong here. Using the US statistic puts us at number 7 rather than number 1, still pretty distressing. |

why is there an everlasting increase in teenage pregnancies around the world nowadays? can we put a stop to this? i seriously think that these young girls need Jesus and that they should go to church and invite god in to their lives. also they should be educated in this field of sex education. if they take heed of the consequences they may be able to understand the correct age to have sex. |

i think you should be more specific about what you are talking about and i am with you bubbles on the kids talking on the phone too much. but i am not with you when you said that we give kids too much freedom because you have to remember that we were once kids and we wanted our freedom just like our kids and some of us was even just like our kids today some wild some not. |

I do think this is an issue that we cannot fix as some of you may know there are some religions that you have to get married at a early age. Even in the United States of America. Actually USA has the highest rate because we give kids to much freedom they go to the malls with no parent. Talk to boys on the phone, Its crazy!!!! |

Is it important to reduce the birth rate in developing countries? If so, why? |

It looks like most developed countries are prone to teen births. |
