ABSTRACT: Adolescent pregnancy is seen worldwide and leads to social, cultural, and economic issues as stated by the World Health Organization (WHO), defining adolescence as the period from age 10 to 19, between childhood and adulthood. It is a singular stage in the growth of humans. WHO published in 2004. Nonetheless, the World Health Organization (2001) stated that 75 million teenage girls experience early pregnancies annually around the globe. According to Arai (2007), the British data reveals that over 42,000 girls who are under 18 years old become pregnant annually. The issue of early pregnancies among children is a significant problem globally, leading to a decrease in the workforce and limiting the economic and social growth opportunities for young girls. The highest rate of teenage pregnancies (41.7/1000) was identified in Eastern Europe, mainly due to the moderate rates in Bulgaria and Romania; other countries in the area mostly experienced low rates. Except for the UK and Estonia, whose rates were moderate, most countries in Northern Europe had low rates of teenage pregnancies, ranking as the region with the second-highest rate (30.7/1000). The rates of adolescent pregnancies were lowest in Southern and Western Europe, with 17.6/1000 and 18.2/1000. Part. K, (2013).
