Experts agree that since the 90s has increased the number of teenage mothers. An increasingly early sexual initiation, without the information and means of contraception necessarily translate into frequent unplanned pregnancies. Thus, in Argentina, in 2002, 14% of children born to women under 20 years. The figures are very different in each province, reflecting the close relationship between teenage pregnancy and the level socioecómico: women with few resources would be mothers in proportion 17-1 with those of higher class. In 2003, three in four babies arrived in poor households the world.This reinforces the cycle of poverty, many of these poor young mothers, young mothers were born poor. The impending motherhood nullifies the chances of continuing training, if the mother attended school before becoming pregnant, as a large number of these adolescents have already left school before starting her pregnancy.
