Teens to older womens pregnancies (extra research)

• The teen pregnancy rate in England and Wales has reached its lowest since 1969.

• Pregnancies in under-16s also went down - by 6.8%

• But the pregnancy rate overall increased, as more women in their 30s and 40s are now having babies.

• The sharpest rise occurred among women aged 40 and over, rising by 5.2% to nearly 30,000.

• This rate has now more than doubled since 1990.

• Experts say the trends might be driven by the economic recession.

• In tough financial times, family may be valued more highly and, as parents could be out of work, they may have more time to spend on children.

• But others, like women in their early 20s, may delay having a family due to financial concerns caused by the recession.

Absent fathers or not (extra research)

Research suggested that most children living with their fathers felt very close to him, and that boys were more likely than girls to feel that way.Of those young people not currently living with their father, almost half said they still felt very close to him.A total of 39% of 15-year-olds who said they did not feel close to their father admitted to having tried cannabis, compared to 24% of those who said they had a close father -child relationship.

Fathers could be held legally liable for their children's behaviour until they are 18 - even if they are divorced or separated.David Cameron and Nick Clegg are considering the proposals by a government advisory body following its report into social issues caused by absent fathers.

Youth in education

Topic 3

Youth in education

The debate:• Where will top grades get you • Is it harder for girls to stay in

school than boys? why?• Because some children are not

well educated does it mean it will lead to gang crime, drugs

etc• Will there be enough jobs

What will the audience learn?• What support are young people

getting • What can be improved

• Has there been a change in statistics with people staying in

school• If there is a specific ethnicity that

does well

Almost 1 million young people are not in school, work or

training, according to official figures 2011 (latest update). One in six 16- to 24-year-olds was a "neet" (not in education,

employment or training) in the last three months of 2011. The figures show there has been a big drop in the employment

rate for school-leavers. Tony Dolphin, chief economist with the Institute for Public

Policy Research, said: "What they have done is hesitate in taking on new workers. Older people who are in jobs are keeping them – young people looking for jobs are not getting them."

The figures show that 958,000 young people aged 16-24 were considered to be neet in the fourth quarter of 2011
