| dc.description.abstract | Fertility during adolescence is associated with increased risk of maternal mortality, morbidity and premature termination of education. Once teenagers become pregnant or have children, they face serious problems which have impact on their family and the society at large. Data from four Ethiopia demographic and health surveys (EDHSs) conducted in 2000, 2005, 2011 and 2016 were used to describe the trend of teenage fertility in Ethiopia. Moreover, the 2016 EDHS data on women aged 15-19 years have been used to identify factors associated with teenage fertility. Multilevel (three-level) logistic regression models were used not only to identify the major risk factors of teenage fertility but also to determine variations of teenage fertility among various EAs and HH using the 2016 EDHS data. The _ndings from the multilevel logistic regression showed that religion, wealth status and ever-been married are signi_cantly associated with teenage fertility in Ethiopia. | en_US |
