Family Planning and Teenage Pregnancy in Nigeria

Teenage pregnancy remains a critical yet often unspoken issue in Nigeria due to strong socio cultural beliefs surrounding adolescent sexual and reproductive health. With a rapidly growing youthful population and increasing global conversations about inclusion and bodily autonomy, understanding these trends is more urgent than ever. Teenage pregnancy frequently disrupts or ends the educational pathways of young girls, limiting their long term opportunities. By comparing indicators from the 2018 and 2023 NDHS, this project examines whether teenage pregnancy has changed over time and whether rising demand for family planning has influenced these patterns. The visualization serves as a call to action for states where rates are increasing and a reflection tool for regions advancing adolescent health initiatives.
