我们分析了墨西哥青少年怀孕事件的短期和长期后果。使用纵向和横截面数据，我们匹配的女性谁怀孕和那些谁没有基于倾向得分。从短期来看，我们发现，少女怀孕会导致受教育年限减少0.6-0.8年，入学率降低，工作时间减少，结婚率提高。从长远来看，我们发现少女怀孕会导致1-1.2年的受教育时间损失，这意味着对教育的永久影响，并降低家庭人均收入。
We analyze the consequences of a teenage pregnancy event in the short and long run in Mexico. Using longitudinal and cross-section data, we match females who became pregnant and those who did not based on a propensity score. In the short run, we find that a teenage pregnancy causes a decrease of 0.6-0.8 years of schooling, lower school attendance, fewer hours of work and a higher marriage rate. In the long run, we find that a teenage pregnancy results in a 1-1.2-year loss in years of education, which implies a permanent ef fect on education, and lower household income per capita.
