Adolescent sexual and reproductive
health (ASRH) is one of five areas of focus of the World
Banks reproductive health action plan (RHAP) 2010-2015,
which recognizes the importance of addressing ASRH as a
development issue with important implications for poverty
reduction. Delaying childbearing and preventing unintended
pregnancies during adolescence has been shown to improve
health outcomes and increase opportunities for schooling,
future employment, and earnings. This brief highlights the
limited contraceptive use among adolescent women and the
socioeconomic disparities in family planning among this
population. The results indicate the importance of investing
in programs aimed at increasing access to safe and effective
contraceptive methods and expanding adolescents knowledge of
modern contraception, particularly among adolescent women in
rural and poor areas and or those with limited or no
education, regardless of marital status. Continued
investment should be made in female education and
empowerment as a means to reach economic development goals,
as well as related goals, such as an increase in adolescent
contraceptive use to reduce the incidence of unplanned pregnancies. |
