Abstract

This is a summary of the findings from a study conducted in Blantyre, Southern Malawi by the Center for Social Research (CSR), University of Malawi and the African and Population Research Center (APHRC). We examined how early and unintended pregnancy culminates in the social exclusion of adolescent mothers and explored interventions that could ensure their education and economic empowerment.
