TUNON PABLOS, Esperanza. Adolescent pregnancy in South-Eastern Mexico. Pap. poblac [online]. 2006, vol.12, n.48, pp.141-154. ISSN 2448-7147.

We analyze in this text the kind of families that form or where adolescents who have lived the experience of being pregnant, and who have assumed their paternity-maternity, discussing if this is nuclear or extended, and in the latter case, if the extended family is that of the origin family or that of the spouse, all this based on a regional households' survey and deep interviews performed between 1997 and 2000 in the states of Chiapas, Tabasco, Campeche and Quintana Roo. The analysis allows the evaluation of the changes in the life trajectories that face the young men and women in this situation, as well as the lower or higher generic vulnerability they are placed into from the resolution given by a pregnancy.
