In 2013, there were 26.5 births for every 1,000 adolescent females ages 15-19, or 273,105 babies born
to females in this age group.[1]
Nearly eighty-nine percent of these births occurred outside of marriage.[1] The 2013 teen birth rate
indicates a decline of ten percent from 2012 when the birth rate was 29.4 per 1,000.[1]
The teen birth rate has declined almost continuously over the past 20 years. In 1991, the U.S. teen birth
rate was 61.8 births for every 1,000 adolescent females, compared with 26.5 births for every 1,000
adolescent females in 2013. Still, the U.S. teen birth rate is higher than that of many other developed
countries, including Canada and the United Kingdom.[2]
Not all teen births are first births. In 2013, one in six (17 percent) births to 15- to 19-year-olds were to
females who already had one or more babies.[1]
