About this document
Literature Review on Teenage Pregnancy by Renie Serrano is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes research on teenage pregnancy in the Philippines. It finds that approximately 19% of non-first time mothers in the Philippines are teenagers, experiencing recurrent adolescent pregnancies.

It can also adversely impact teenagers socially and economically by disrupting their education and increasing risks of abuse and poverty.
