This report explores issues related to fertility among young women age 15-19 and to abortion among women age 15-49 in Cambodia, based on two Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) conducted in 2010 and 2014. In 2014, approximately one in every eight young Cambodian women age 15-19 either already had a live birth or were currently pregnant with their first child. Teenage fertility increased from 8% in 2010 to 12% in 2014. In general, teenage fertility in Cambodia rises with increasing age, lower household wealth, and lower levels of education.
Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS) 2014 is the seventh survey of its kind conducted in Bangladesh. This survey was implemented through a collaborative effort of the National Institute of Population Research and Training (NIPORT), ICF International, USA and Mitra & Associates. The wealth of demographic and health data that BDHS 2014 provides is essential and instrumental in monitoring and evaluating the performance of the Health, Population and Nutrition Sector Development Program (HPNSDP).
