Drawing on intervie and focus groups with young mothers and fathers, their parents and other relatives, this book provides a rich exploration of the experience of being a teenage parent now, and for earlier generations, closely examining teenage pregnancy and parenting in families where two or more generations have been teenage mothers. Brown also explores the cultural and social contexts of teenage parenting by including the vie of people who have many years' experience of working with young parents in health, social and welfare settings.

It will appeal to academics, policymakers and professionals with an interest in teenage pregnancy and parenting.
