Abstract

Este estudio describe los patrones de fecundidad en las adolescentes del departamento del Atlántico. La literatura reciente ha destacado que el embarazo a temprana edad tiene implicaciones negativas sobre la madre, tales como la deserción escolar, una baja participación en el mercado laboral e incrementos en riesgos de muerte materna. También sus hijos tienen altos riesgos en su salud, como bajo peso al nacer y nacimiento prematuro. Con datos de la Encuesta Nacional de Demografía y Salud (ENDS) de 2010 se examinan las dinámicas sexuales y reproductivas de las mujeres entre 15 y 24 anos. En general se encuentra que existe mayor incidencia de maternidad adolescente en mujeres con bajo nivel educativo, que habitan en zonas rurales o que se clasifican en los estratos socioeconómicos más bajos. Asimismo, se analiza el programa de prevención del embarazo adolescente Crisálida, de la Gobernación del Atlántico, y se hacen algunas recomendaciones sobre su diseno.
