Funded Activity Summary

Social exclusion and teenage motherhood in Australia. Our current understanding of teenage motherhood paints a very grim picture of the lives of teenage mothers and their babies. An over-reliance on the welfare system and social isolation lead to inadequate opportunities for education, employment and productive relationships and are responsible for enhancing social exclusion and weakening a society's social and economic fabric. This project provides great benefit to both the Australian community and individual teenage mothers and their children. A deeper understanding will lead to better design of support systems and programs for young mothers and their children.
