Teenage Pregnancy: Statistics
The Office of National Statistics conception statistics are used for monitoring progress towards the Teenage Pregnancy Strategy's target, which is to halve England's under-18 conception rate by 2010, from a 1998 baseline.
These statistics are part of a well established series, which are compiled by combining information from birth registrations and abortion notifications. You can download the statistics and an accompanying summary below, along with a series of other useful documents.
