Changing Perspectives on Teenage Pregnancy

The podcast discusses how societal concerns surrounding teenage pregnancy have evolved over the years, noting a shift from anxiety about high rates of teenage pregnancies in the 1990s to a contemporary perspective highlighting population decline. During the past, discussions about teenage pregnancy were prevalent in both education and media, focusing on the risks and responsibilities associated with early parenthood. In contrast, modern conversations tend to revolve around the declining birth rates and implications for future generations. This cyclical nature of societal concerns reflects broader shifts in cultural narratives regarding family and reproduction.
