Perspectivas en el estudio del embarazo adolescente. La condición etaria.

Abstract

This article discusses different ways in which adolescent pregnancy is approached and acknowledged. It presents and organizes the literature developed for the comprehension of this phenomenon in two categories: perspectives and approaches. Such organization favors the articulation of a critical reflection about the certainties that are commonly established around teenage pregnancy. This ordering of the literature in perspectives –conventional and critical– in the approach of adolescent pregnancy, has the purpose of placing elements that challenge the way this phenomenon is constructed as an object study in social sciences, and favors the generation of new questions and junctions for a more complex and inclusive discussion. One of the articulations proposed for new debates regarding this issue, is established around the age condition contained in teenage pregnancy.
