Each year, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) releases an annual report highlighting new developments in world population. This year’s report, The State of the World Population 2013: Motherhood in Childhood, focuses on the ramifications of adolescent pregnancy in diverse situations around the globe. While the full 132-page PDF can be downloaded in English, French, Spanish, Russian, and Arabic, the site also offers Feature Stories and Videos on such topics as teenage pregnancy in Laotian villages, South African teenage mothers, and Jamaica’s new program for preventing childhood pregnancy while supporting young mothers. Previous Years’ Reports are also available here and feature other important facets of population news, such as urban growth and international migration.
