The Impact of Sex Education for Chinese Adolescents on Women's Unwanted Pregnancies

Abstract

Unwanted pregnancies have always been a hot topic in the whole society. Some researchers have found that education has a significant impact on unwanted pregnancies, but there is still a unified explanation of the formation mechanism and scope of influence behind it. Therefore, this study is about the impact of sex education among teenagers on women's unwanted pregnancies in China. Chinas education discusses the lack of sex education and abortion. Parents are unwilling to let their children understand sexual knowledge too early and do not pay attention to sex education. In school sex education, teachers simply understand sex in books, and will not explain it in depth. This does not set correct sexual values for teenagers, which has also led to a high rate of unwanted pregnancies in China. Specifically, it talks about the current situation of sex education in China, whether sex education in adolescence will reduce the probability of unwanted pregnancies for women, and the impact of sex education on women's unwanted pregnancies in marriage. Sex education affects married women, unmarried women and adolescents differently. The current sex education does not enable teenagers to correctly understand themselves and sex. In the future, sex education should change this to make teenagers know themselves and their sex better.
