teen mothers
Young unwed moms
Teen mothers are women who give birth during their teenage years, typically between ages 13 and 19.
The term often appears in discussions of social policy, education, and healthcare: Programs supporting teen mothers help them finish school.
The phrase carries implicit concern about the challenges young parents face—financial hardship, interrupted education, limited support systems.
