Where can I find some facts on the effects of a declining teen birth rate?
Teen pregnancy is a major contributor to poverty, single parenthood, and limited futures for adolescents and their children. Statistics show that with a declining teen birth rate there can be a tremendous reduction in the number of U.S. children living in poverty. Data show the power of prevention and how prevention can make a measurable contribution to reducing poverty in children. See the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy What If? information resource for facts and data on how teen pregnancy prevention can contribute to the improvement of the overall child well-being in the United States and for a state-by-state analysis of the declining teen birth rates in all of the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
