Presentation

There is little quantitative evidence on the consequences of teen pregnancy for Peru. The aim of this study is to measure the short-term and medium-term consequences of having a child during adolescence or of being pregnant in educational outcomes and basic labor market outcomes, using data from the Demographic and Health Survey Family (ENDES) from 2012 to 2017.
