| Title | The Plan ENIA: reducing unintended adolescent pregnancy in Argentina |
| Summary | The Plan to Prevent Unintended Pregnancy (Plan ENIA) is the first public policy that proposes a comprehensive intervention on unintended adolescent pregnancy in Argentina. Even though the phenomenon has been showing a decreasing trend since the beginning of the 21st Century, the Plan was designed to accelerate the reduction in the provinces with the most critical indicators regarding adolescent pregnancy. The policy was implemented in 2017 in 5 of the 24 provinces and autonomous jurisdictions of the country and it was later on extended to 7 additional provinces until it was fully operational in 2019. This research takes advantage of its staggered design and through a difference-in-difference analysis aims to study the effect of the policy on adolescent women. The results show that, despite having accomplished most of its operational goals, the policy does not have a significant effect on unintended adolescent pregnancy. |
