Adolescent fertility

Source: UNECE Statistical Database, compiled from national and international (Eurostat, UN Statistics Division Demographic Yearbook, WHO European health for all database and UNICEF TransMONEE) official sources.

Definition:
Adolescent fertility covers live births to women aged 15-19.
A live birth is the complete expulsion or extraction from its mother of a product of conception, irrespective of the duration of pregnancy, which after such separation breathes or shows any other evidence of life such as beating of the heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord or definite movement of voluntary muscles, whether or not the umbilical cord has been cut or the placenta is attached.
The adolescent fertility rate is the number of live births to women aged 15-19 per 1000 women aged 15-19.

General note: Data on live births come from registers, unless otherwise specified. The adolescent fertility rate is computed by UNECE secretariat.
