Abstract

El embarazo adolescente es un suceso latente en el mundo, pero sobre todo en países en desarrollo y trae consecuencias de gran importancia para las jóvenes que lo enfrentan. Este trabajo busca evidenciar dichas consecuencias en la carrera de las mujeres bolivianas que, si bien no están entre los 15 y 19 años de edad, fueron madres en su adolescencia. El trabajo analiza los años 2012 y 2019, utiliza tres variables dependientes, una de embarazo adolescente, la Descomposición Blinder-Oaxaca y la extensión Fairlie para evidenciar las consecuencias del fenómeno. Los resultados indican que el embarazo adolescente genera brechas con la cohorte de comparación para las tres variables dependientes.
