Note: The sample includes all women who were 20 years old in HSE rounds 6, 7, 8 or 9 and who were observed in an earlier HSE round when they were aged 11 to 13 years old. Where women were observed in multiple HSE rounds between the ages of 11 and 13, the most recent observation was used. The notation in column 2 denotes that differences between teen mothers and non teen mothers are significant at 10% (*), 5% (**) and 1%(***) level. Similarly the notation in columns 3 and 5 denote significant differences between those with known teen mother status and those with unassigned status and between early teen and older teen mothers respectively.
