Abstract

This paper addresses the reality of foreign teenage motherhood in Spain. Its importance lies not in its quantitative dimension but the implications for a growing number of girls who face motherhood at an early age. Thus, after analysing the determinants of such pregnancies, the characteristics of the phe - nomenon in Spain are discussed highlighting the apparent incon - sistencies between this reality and the regulatory framework. In analysing the protection policies we restrict ourselves to Anda - lusia as a territorial demarcation. Finally, we analyse the possi - bilities of social work intervention aimed at supporting young mothers in order to overcome the disadvantages they face.
