2011, 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), 2011 covers 222 countries. Niger is highest, at 191.960; North Korea is lowest, at 0.634. The middle country reads 41.705. Against 2010, 222 values changed (68 up, 154 down), the same countries are covered.
