Adolescent Pregnancy Prognosis (Expectations)
Women having a first child during adolescence are more likely to have an increased overall rate of childbearing and more total births. They are less likely to receive child support from biological fathers, less likely to complete their education or work in some type of vocation, and less likely to establish independence and financial security adequate to provide for themselves and their children without outside resources.
Married teen mothers are more likely to experience divorce (80% or greater chance) than those married women who postpone childbearing until their 20s.
