Resumen
Descripción
This brief has provided a basic profile
of early childbirth in Nigeria. Measures of early childbirth
are high. The share of women ages 18-22 who had their first
child before 18 is 28.0 percent, but it has decreased over
time. The share of women with their first child before 15 is
at 5.1 percent. Early childbirth is associated with lower
wealth and lower education levels, and employment with cash
earnings. These are however only correlations, not
necessarily causal effects. Other briefs in this series look
at potential causal effects.
