Finding further indicated that women born in urban
area were less likely to experience teenage pregnancy
compared to their rural counterparts. It is expected
because age at first marriage is lower for rural women
than their urban counterparts in Bangladesh [15]. In
addition, relative substantial cultural stimulation of early
child bearing and women’s lower working opportunities
and hence women’s more concentration in early establishment
of family might have important influence for
women born in rural areas. Conversely, urban women
might have chance to avoid social pressure through
work (in this study, 5.7% women born in urban area
were working against 2.3% in rural area) and the related
advantages, that come with urban culture, and hence
less concentration in early family establishment along
with higher age at married might contributed lower
teenage pregnancy.
