This report will show the rate of teenage pregnancy in different parts of the UK and it will also highlight the teenage pregnancy rate in the UK in comparison with other European countries.
2.0 Introduction
This report will represent the teenage pregnancy rate in UK, which is one of the biggest issues in UK for many years. The UK supplies young people with free NHS advice and help which also includes free contraception, to help young people protect themselves from early pregnancy.

After a young person becomes pregnant they have a very small chance to finish their education in order to get a good job and good salary. As they don’t finish their education and usually leave school without any qualifications it becomes increasingly difficult for them to find a job which will be able to provide a comfortable life for young mum. Moreover this is causing trouble for the country as more young mothers are trying to get help from the council in the way of benefits and council housing. However it is not an easy task to provide all young mothers with a house and money for their living, as there is simply not enough housing for the growing number of teenage and young mothers. There is a long waiting list for the housing, and usually it is based on necessity. For example, if you have more children and there is not currently enough space where you are living then you move higher up the list as it is
