Abstract:
Teenage pregnancy and early marriage are significant social issues with profound implications for the psychosocial well-being of pregnant teenagers. This abstract highlights the impact of teenage pregnancy and early marriage on the psychosocial well-being of pregnant teenagers in Lagos State, Nigeria, and explores the sociological implications of these phenomena.

The psychosocial well-being of pregnant teenagers encompasses their emotional, psychological, and social functioning. Teenage pregnancy and early marriage often lead to adverse psychosocial outcomes due to the associated challenges and stressors that young mothers face. These challenges include limited educational opportunities, financial instability, social stigma, and compromised mental health.

The sociological implications of teenage pregnancy and early marriage are multifaceted. First, the interruption of education due to pregnancy and early marriage limits the educational attainment of teenage mothers, perpetuating a cycle of poverty and reduced social mobility. Second, the social stigma attached to teenage pregnancy and early marriage places significant psychological burden on the teenagers, affecting their self-esteem, social relationships, and overall well-being.

Further sociological implications include the strain on healthcare systems and resources, increased likelihood of intergenerational transmission of poverty and early marriage practices, and the perpetuation of gender inequality. These implications highlight the need for comprehensive sociological interventions and policy reforms to address the root causes of teenage pregnancy and early marriage.

In Lagos State, Nigeria, where this study focuses, it is essential to recognize the unique cultural, economic, and social factors that contribute to these phenomena. The findings of this study can inform the development and implementation of targeted interventions, such as comprehensive sexuality education, access to reproductive healthcare services, empowerment programs, and policy reforms aimed at reducing teenage pregnancy rates and supporting the psychosocial well-being of pregnant teenagers.

In conclusion, teenage pregnancy and early marriage have far-reaching consequences on the psychosocial well-being of pregnant teenagers in Lagos State. Understanding these impacts and their sociological implications is crucial for policymakers, healthcare professionals, and social support systems to develop effective strategies that address the underlying factors contributing to these phenomena and promote the psychosocial well-being of pregnant teenagers in the region.
