Women who become pregnant at too young an age are particularly at risk because their bodies are not ready to bear children, the report explains. Young mothers are more likely to be poor, undereducated, and living in rural areas. Data show that the risk of dying in pregnancy is 5 times higher for girls aged 10 to 14 years compared with women in their 20s. Teenaged girls' babies also are at risk: about 1 million babies born to adolescent girls die in their first year.
