To the Canada teen pregnancy

To the Canada teenage pregnancy statistics rates among the highest in the developed world, even if the figures are lower than those of the United States and the United Kingdom. In 1994, approximately 47 800 pregnancies were recorded for adolescents between the ages of 15 and 19. Of this number, approximately 21,000 women chose abortion, about 2 000 had a stillbirth or error requiring hospitalization and 24 700 carried the pregnancy to term.

The incidence of pregnancy to the Canada in 1994 was less than two decades earlier, but since 1987 it has increased. Since 1994, however, to the Canada teen pregnancy was reduced. In 2003, 33 553 pregnancies have been reported in women who were aged less than 20 and this included birth live, abortions and stillbirths/false layers.


The rate of teenage pregnancy in the Canada, leaving approximately 27.1 per 1000 inhabitants, is the highest among adolescents aged 18 to 19; many of pregnancy in this group, however, are planned. The rate of pregnancy among adolescents from 15 to 17 is lower and the rate among girls aged less than 15 is even lower.


Equally important, there is also a change in the resolutions of teenage pregnancies. In 1974, 66% of teen pregnancy ends in a live birth, 26% in abortion and 8% in a stillbirth / miscarriage. In 1994, on the other hand, the majority, 51% of the teen still finished in live births, but almost as much this time, 45%, ended by abortion.


Indeed, in 1994, Canada given the largest annual number of abortions teenage during two previous decades with 21 000 adolescents choose this option to terminate their pregnancy. The adolescents actually accounted for 20% of the total number of abortions performed in 1994 and accounted for only 6% of all live births. In 2003, the number of pregnancies ending in abortion adolescents have increased 50%.


To the Canada teen pregnancy rates vary by province and territory. In 1994, the Northwest Territories had the highest rate of pregnancy among adolescents with 137 per 1,000 women between 15 and 19. Next are the Yukon, with 88 pregnancies per 1,000; rates between provinces varied from slightly more than 60 per 1,000 in Manitoba and Saskatchewan to slightly more than 30 in Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island and Quebec. Of Quebec teen pregnancy rate remains the lowest in the country.


To reduce the rate of teenage pregnancy in the Canada, the country is looking for the Netherlands, which has one of the lowest rates of teenage pregnancy, suggestions. Based on observations, it seems that sexual education, of open discussion of human sexuality in the media of mass, better access to contraceptives, programmes of education and active participation of parents and adolescents in such programs are all strategies which might be useful to maintain the rate of pregnancy among adolescent girls down.
