In the U.S., an estimated one million teens become pregnant each year, with nearly 560,000 giving birth. Two out of three pregnant teenagers drop out of school. Nearly half of unmarried teens receive welfare within two years of giving birth. An estimated $6.9 billion in costs and lost tax revenues are a result of the teen pregnancy crisis. In addition, the level of education directly impacts earning potential. According to the US Census Bureau, individuals with an advanced degree not only make more at the beginning of their career but the degree to which their wages increase is greater. *
