ABSTRACT: Teen childbearing has continuously posed a threat to the overall economic aspect of adolescence. Many studies have shown that a decline in pregnancy and childbearing for women 15-19 years old is significantly associated with the economic growth takeoff of the economy by sparing time for children, increasing the labor supply for women, and investments for education and health of the children. In Asia, the Philippines is one of the few countries that exceeded the regional average adolescent fertility of 44 births from 2015-2020. Moreover, the Philippines has had an increasing trend of teen childbearing since 2000 and one in four pregnancies are unintended with 610.000 unsale abortions being performed annually. Thus, it is imperative to explore the missed opportunities in family planning or birth control. This study investigates the impact of the ratio of female to male labor force participation, female youth literacy rate, and contraceptive prevalence on adolescent fertility rates.
