The first cause of teenage pregnancy in the country is inadequate parental care. Some

parents do not take good care of their children. The parents do not offer their children food,

accommodation, and clothing. Not only that, but parents do not offer moral training to their

children. These can be explained by the fact that the parents are too busy with their work

due to economic hardships in the country. For instance, the majority of children in the

country do not get food to eat for the whole day or a place to sleep as they sleep on the street,

such as Kejetia and Nkrumah Circle. The effect is that the children, especially the girls, would

engage in premarital sex, leading to teenage pregnancy. Again, some of the girls may die

prematurely through illegal abortion. Parents should provide adequate care for their

children. Parents are therefore advised to offer adequate care for their children, as this helps

prevent the cause of teenage pregnancy.
