Motherhood and adolescent fertility in the Caribbean

Taking advantage of a variety of sources, including MATERNILAC database, the research makes a detailed overview  and a very updated description of this key issue in order to fill a gap in knowledge and technical analysis of the subject for the Caribbean in particular.

The research has a demographic focus, but also offers a set of relevant policy conclusions for sexual and reproductive health services aimed to guarantee sexual and reproductive rights of adolescents, avoid teen pregnancy and reduce the inequalities of early reproduction.
