Abstract

PATIAS, Naiana Dapieve; FIORIN, Pascale Chechi; LIMA, Letícia Saldanha de  and  DIAS, Ana Cristina Garcia. The phenomenon of parenthood during the teenage years: reflections on gender relationships. Rev. SPAGESP [online]. 2014, vol.15, n.2, pp. 45-62. ISSN 1677-2970.

This paper aims to understand how themes of gender, parenthood and gestation during adolescence are related in scientific literature. For this, it was conducted a bibliographical survey on SciELO database of articles dated from 2000 to 2013. 27 articles were fully analyzed based on their methodological methods and main contributions for understanding these themes. In majority, publications are empirical qualitative studies that use semi-structured interviews with teenagers of both genders. The articles study different aspects concerning sexuality, contraception, experiences of motherhood and fatherhood, relationship with family of origin and adolescent parenthood. They reveal that traditional conceptions of gender contribute to make adolescents, especially of lower class, more vulnerable to unwanted parenthood during this period of life.

Keywords : parenthood; adolescence; gender.
