WITHOUT WORK

Being women with a very young age, the vast majority of them is out of work when their children. In effect, the 11 thousand 527 cases of girls under 15 years who became mothers in the year 2011, only 812 had gainful employment; i.e., only 7% of them.

It is obvious that having a such a young age, their level of schooling is also very low; Thus, considering that up to 80% of these girls truncated his school career, it is expected that in the near future and in the long term, most go to confront extremely adverse conditions both in the workplace and in the academic.

In a similar case are adolescents who, at the time of the birth, had between 15 and 19 years of age, as 461 thousand cases of births recorded in 2011 in this age group, only 39 thousand 415 of these young people worked, i.e. just 8.35% of the total.

The data is noted, therefore having a short history of the school and almost zero work experience, the search for incorporation of these children and adolescents into the labour market is given in high risk conditions that shore, in thousands of cases, to accept conditions of informality, but in others of labour exploitation, and in extreme cases, to become victims of sexual exploitation or trafficking in persons.

Personal opinion

Unfortunately girls who became pregnant at his young age fail to finish his studies as primary and secondary basic although nowadays for any work already they ask for a high school and have come of age. many of these girls end up working in places where your payment is very little and too much time or many more do not work and only leave to their baby that's why we have to create awareness among them so that instead of becoming pregnant to achieve their goals and dreams and to see a better future, since everything has a time.
