Addressing Teenage Pregnancy in Latin America and the Caribbean

Addressing Teenage Pregnancy

Latin America and the Caribbean has the second-highest teenage pregnancy rate in the world: 52 of every 1,000 girls aged 15-19 gave birth in this region in 2022 vs. the world average of 39. Successful interventions to address this include sexual and reproductive health policies, increasing girls’ agency and aspirations, and behavior change campaigns.
