Once upon a time, almost all new mothers were teenagers. People simply didn't live long enough to have it any other way. As industrialization grew, it became less and less desirable to have babies at an early age. More education was required to function in a modern world, childhood lasted significantly longer and motherhood was delayed. Today, childhood, as defined by the completion of one's education, can last into the middle or late 20s. A huge gap between the earning power of under or uneducated teens and their counterparts who remain in school is very evident. It is an unfortunate fact that having a baby makes the probability of finishing school remote.

Modern birth control hasn't helped

One might think that with the birth control pill celebrating its 50th birthday, the specter of unwanted pregnancy would be gone. Not only do we have the Pill, we have hormone therapy, improved condoms, better diaphragms and more comprehensive sex education. However, modern birth control has not helped much. There are several reasons for this.

Parental squeamishness

Parents never really get over the feeling that their child is young and in need of protection. It's hard for parents to think of their teen as a sexual being. Sex is an adult pleasure and reserved for adults; a teenager is not an adult.
