Data for 1958

Adolescent Birth Rate (Ages 15–19), 1958

1958, as UN DESA Population Division’s 2024 release gives it · stored as published, never rewritten

The adolescent birth rate is the number of babies born to girls and young women aged 15 to 19 for every 1,000 women of that age. Early childbearing carries higher risks for mother and child and often ends a girl's schooling, which is why reducing it is one of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Adolescent Birth Rate (Ages 15–19), 1958 covers 222 countries. Niger is highest, at 203.056; Japan is lowest, at 3.857. The middle country reads 94.808. Against 1957, 222 values changed (124 up, 98 down), the same countries are covered.

Read before you use

How values are stored

  • One year of the 2024 release

    Every year in this series comes from UN DESA Population Division’s 2024 release, recalculated on one method, so a change from one year to the next is not a revision. It can differ from what was first published for 1958.

  • Nothing missing

    Every one of the 222 countries has every column.
