Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: These include greater social acceptance of teenage sexuality, earlier and more frequent sexual intercourse, lack of potential marriage partners, a decline in community and parental influence over the young, and the assumption by social agencies of the responsibility for helping younger mothers.

Answer to Question 2
