Abstract
This project looks at Statistical analysis of the effect of early child bearing among teenagers. Over the years, there have been unlimited reported cases of complications resulting from teenage pregnancy. The act of teenage pregnancy is mostly unwanted and at such the teen mothers feels reluctant in caring for their infants. It is on this backdrop that this study examined the effects of teenage pregnancy in the Nigerian society. The study examined reported cases of under-five child mortality, maternal mortality and teenage pregnancy rate. Using a simple correlation and regression analysis, the study found that there is a significant positive relationship between the occurrence of infant mortality, maternal mortality and teenage pregnancy rates. The result added that without the effect of teenage pregnancy, the reported cases of maternal and under-five mortality rates would be -292.84 and -848.74 implying that there would have been any possible records of neither maternal mortality nor under-five mortality. Result also indicated that the infant mortality occurrence is accounted for by 98% of the births resulting from teenage pregnancy while 78.8% of maternal deaths are affected by teenage pregnancy.
