About this ranking

Births to women aged 15 to 19 per 1,000 women aged 15 to 19 in the year. World Bank series from the UN World Population Prospects.

UN estimates fitted to registration, census and survey data, so they can differ from national birth counts. Years after the last WPP estimate year are projections and are not stored.

Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the countries are compared on one definition. Equal values share a rank.
