THIS PAPER BRINGS A SYNTHESIS OF SOME OF THE MAIN RESULTS PROVIDED BY GRAVAD SURVEY (TEENAGE PREGNANCY: multicentric study about youth, sexuality and reproduction in Brazil). GRAVAD is a study about sexual and reproductive behavior among Brazilian youth that interviewed 4,634 individuals in a population survey with a random sample. Women and men between 18 and 24 years old were interviewed in three capitals-Porto Alegre, Rio de Janeiro and Salvador. "Teen pregnancy" is not the consequence of promiscuous sexual activities, as popular beliefs currently state. It is often ignored that amidst the poorer social segments parenthood is seen as a sign of social status, given the lack of professional perspectives. Among the middle class, other sociocultural horizons give parenthood the status of an experience to be lived in later moments of live, when one's professional and financial lives have been consolidated. |
