California Teen Birth Rates by Race/Ethnicity & Year, 2005-2007

Race/EthnicitySources: Teen births: Public-User File Birth Statistical Master File, years 2005-2007. Teen population: State of California, Department of Finance: Race/Ethnic Population with Age and Sex Detail, 2000-2050. Sacramento, CA, July 2007, years 2005-2007. Births to mothers identified as “other” or “unknown” race are excluded from the analysis. For 2005 they comprised 0.90% of teen births, 0.94% in 2006 and 0.98% in 2007.


California Teen Birth Rates (females age 15-19 years)

In California in 2007, there were 1,027 fewer teen births than if the 2006 teen birth rate had remained

the same.

These 1,027 fewer teen births saved California taxpayers over $34 million.

Source for costs: “No Time for Complacency: Teen Births in California,” Public Health Institute, 2008 Spring Update. Taxpayer costs include tax revenue costs on parents’ income and consumption, public assistance direct and administrative costs such as welfare and medical assistance, costs for increased foster placement and incarceration of children, and tax revenue costs based on children’s incomes and consumption when they reach young adulthood compared to costs for 20-21 year old mothers. This estimate assumed a 2.7% average annual inflation since the year 2000 as noted in the 2008 Spring Update: “No Time for Complacency: Data Sources and Analysis Methods.” Total costs to society are over twice the taxpayer cost.
