Early Childbearing in Nigeria: A Continuing Challenge
This report provides a profile of the current childbearing experience of adolescent women in Nigeria, explores the factors associated with widely varying levels of teenage childbearing across the country and identifies the continuing reproductive needs of young Nigerian women. It provides data for the nation as a whole, as well as for the country’s major regions, to help inform decision-making at both the national and regional levels. It does not attempt to synthesize the substantial body of in-depth research on issues related to adolescent childbearing in Nigeria, which consists largely of small-scale studies that do not permit national generalizations or regional comparisons.
