Abstract

Introduction: More over 20% of the world's population is in the adolescent age range, which is defined as being between 10 and 19 years old. Around 16 million teenage girls give birth each year, or 11.0% of all births worldwide. Pregnancy among teenagers aged 10 to 19 is referred to as adolescent pregnancy. Teenage birth rates are rising, particularly in developing nations where the consequences for their health are worse. Around the world, adolescent moms were responsible for more than 11% of births. Adolescent pregnancy has been linked to medical, social, and economic issues that affect girls, their families, and nations, according to earlier research.
