Sommario/riassunto

This text presents facts and figures about the incidence of teenage pregnancies throughout Europe together with current research based information on this subject. Bill Gillham looks at the accompanying problems of stress and emotional, financial and quality of life problems which in turn may lead to abuse and neglect of the child. He analyzes these areas and asserts that teenage pregnancies, with effective support and care, need not be such a problem.
