Teenage pregnancy rate

The aim of this systematisation is to write up the process of linking with society and the development of the experiences lived during the 8th semester in the San Vicente de Pusir Rural Community, with the aim of learning about the intervention of Social Work in the community area with pregnant adolescents, collecting and analysing the information gathered during the research. Adolescent pregnancy is a problem that affects the entire Ecuadorian population, increasing its rates every year. Social, cultural and educational aspects contribute to the increase in these rates, requiring adolescents to fulfil the role of adults and in many cases to abandon their studies, The San Vicente de Pusir Community together with the Health Centre of the parish and the students of the Central University worked to contribute to the reduction of pregnancy rates in the community. As a future Social Worker, I always try to work with the aim of improving the integral wellbeing of priority groups.
