Today's teenage generation definitely has the rep of being sex crazed partiers whose only interest is having a good time. Long gone are the "good old days" of purity. Or at least that is what many seem to think. Contrary to this belief, however, are the findings from recent studies examining teenage pregnancy rates (among other things) in several countries world wide. Though some showed more improvement than others, the trend is clear: teen pregnancy rates are decreasing.
In Canada, teenage pregnancy is down 36% from ten years ago. The teenage pregnancy rates in the United States (though still considerably higher than most other countries) have also dropped about 25% within the decade.
Now the question is what is causing this decline, and what can we do to continue this trend of improvement?
