Abstract:

This study aims to characterize the social roles of adolescents (15-19 years old) in the Brazilian macro-regions in the years 1991, 2000, and 2010, through the analysis of their profiles based on individual characteristics, household structure, and intra-household interpersonal relationships. Differentiation is made between adolescent mothers and non-mothers. To define the profiles, data from the aforementioned Brazilian Demographic Censuses and the Latent Class Analysis (LCA) technique were used. The results indicate that over time, adolescent pregnancy has become less associated with leaving the family home or entering a marital union. Teenage marriage is also less linked to leaving the family home, as well as to inactivity in the workforce for both adolescent mothers and non-mothers. Furthermore, returning or staying at the family home seems to be more acceptable after the end of a relationship or an early pregnancy not followed by union.
