Data for 1992

Adolescent Birth Rate (Ages 15–19), 1992

1992, 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), 1992 covers 222 countries. Niger is highest, at 204.202; North Korea is lowest, at 2.473. The middle country reads 62.220. Against 1991, 222 values changed (64 up, 158 down), the same countries are covered.

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 1992.

  • 221 distinct values among 222

    Values are stored exactly as published, to 3 decimals. 2 countries share 11.043. Countries sharing a value share a position too.

  • Nothing missing

    Every one of the 222 countries has every column.
