Young Marriage Parenthood and Divorce in Ethiopia

New research sheds light on what life is like for Ethiopians who married, cohabited and became parents as adolescents, and identifies a raft of support measures.

Youth relationships remain governed by entrenched gender norms which constrain young women's agency and limit the life choices of both women and men.
