Impact of social grants on teenage pregnancy rate (South Africa)

answer:Several studies have drawn attention to the negativ

e socio-economic, demographic, health, biological  

and psychological consequences of teenage pregnancy

.  The demographic and health consequences  

include  high  levels  of  maternal  and  child  mortality

,  toxaemia,  increased  number  of  stillbirths  and  

premature and low-birth-weight infants due to under

lying biological risk inherent in young maternal  

age.    Prolonged  labour,  iron  deficiency  and  defecti

ve  infants  have  also  been  cited  as  health  

consequences of teenage pregnancy.  However, some r

esearchers argue that pregnant teens do not  

constitute a high-risk group if good prenatal care  

is provided
