Teen Pregnancy Dropped 34.4%

Folha 815 September 2026 at 18:31

Teen pregnancy prevalence in Angola dropped 34.4% over a decade, from 34.5% to 27.1%, according to data from the National Statistics Institute (INE). Despite the significant reduction, the figure remains above the Sub-Saharan African average, estimated at 18%.

The data were presented in the Thematic Report on Adolescent Fertility in Angola, made public by INE in Luanda. The report analyzed prevalence among girls aged 15 to 19.

The study revealed that teen pregnancy is more frequent in rural areas than in urban ones. Furthermore, the phenomenon shows higher prevalence among adolescents with no education level, indicating a correlation between education and early fertility.

Why this matters

The data reveal a positive trend in reducing early pregnancy in Angola, but show that the country still faces significant challenges compared to the regional average. Girls in rural areas and without education remain particularly vulnerable, suggesting the need for public policies focused on education and access to sexual and reproductive health services for these populations.

Son left home and pensioner received order to return 17,701 euros: court reduces debt to 3,144 euros due to Administration's own error

A Spanish pensioner who had been receiving a non-contributory disability pension since 2011 saw herself required to return 17,701 euros after a son left home, which changed the household income threshold. Although the woman only reported the change seven months later, the Extremadura Administration only terminated the pension in June 2022, more than two years after being informed. The Superior Court of Justice of Extremadura considered that the beneficiary should only be responsible for the period prior to the communication, reducing the debt to 3,144 euros. The Supreme Court confirmed the decision in January 2026, rejecting the Administration's appeal on procedural grounds. The case applied the Čakarević doctrine, which weighs whether the return of benefits imposes an excessive burden on the beneficiary. The article also analyzes the existing protection mechanisms in Portugal for similar situations of improper receipt.
