    3. Unwed and teenage mothers:

    Unwed mothers: 1957 ? 15.8 live births per 1000 women;
    1977 ? 25.1 live births per 1000 women; 2004 ? 23.7
    live births per 1000 women.

    Teenage mothers: 1957 - 97.3 live births per 1000
    women; 1970 ? 69.5 live births per 1000 women; 2004 ?
    41.9 live births per 1000 women.


To lend a little context to the statistics above, perhaps  the number
of unwed mothers has reduced because abortions have increased?

"Among unmarried women about half the pregnancies ended in a live
birth while about 40 percent ended in abortion.  In 1990 pregnancies
among unmarried women were more likely to end in abortion than in a
live birth." Source:
