Historical perspectives on adolescent pregnancy and education in the United States

Abstract

Adolescent births in early America often were viewed as part of broader concerns about premarital sexual activity and out-of-wedlock births in general. In the second half of the 20th century, adolescent pregnancies and teen out-of-wedlock births were seen as special challenges to American society. There is growing unease about the lack of high-quality education received by young mothers. Periodically, the federal government has taken an active interest in trying to reduce unintended adolescent pregnancies as well as to provide more educational opportunities for everyone. Many of those initiatives have had only limited impact so far.
