Regression Equation:
AFR = 358.382 + 4.166 (Compulsory Education) – 4.845 (Life Expectancy at birth)
Interpretation
- For every year a citizen receives as compulsory education year, the number
of infants given by teenage moms will increase by 4.166 births
- For every year a newborn is expected to live, the number of babies of young women will decrease by 4.845
- r2=0.723 is coefficient of determination 72.3% of the variation in the number of births given by teenagers at the age of 15-19 could be clarified by the variation in the Life Expectancy at birth and Compulsory education years

- r2=0.547 is coefficient of determination 54.7% of the variation in the number of births given by young moms aged 15-19 can be explained by the variation in the Compulsory education years and Domestic general government health expenditure per capita

Interpretation
- In high-income countries, for every dollar that citizens receive from the
government as a healthcare treatment welfare, the number of babies given by
adolescent girls will decrease by 0.002 births This indicates that per every $1000 the government assists people with healthcare, number of infants of teenagers will decrease by 2 births
- r2=0.414 is coefficient of determination 41.4% of the variation in the number of
births given by teenagers aged 15-19 can be explained by the variation in the
Domestic general government health expenditure per capita
PART 2: TEAM REGRESSION CONCLUSION
- Each model has different independent significant variables Nevertheless, Domestic general government health expenditure per capita is the significant variables in both
Middle-income and High-income countries In Low-income countries, no variables is found to have a significant linear relationship with Adolescent Fertility Rate.

Trang 16- Model of All Countries provide the best Adolescent Fertility rate estimation The reason for
this is since the model has a high number of observations, it will be more accurate Also, its
variables explain the highest percentages of Adolescent Fertility Rate (72.3%)
- In conclusion, it is seen that Government Health Expenditure is an important factor
that should be focused on in order to improve the AFR in middle-income and
high-income countries For low-high-income countries, further investigation should be conducted
to identify other determinants of AFR

Trang 26PART 4: TEAM TIME SERIES CONCLUSION
Adolescent fertility rate (births per 1,000 women ages 15-19) from 1980 to 2015
Overall, except for Vietnam, there is a downward trend among all the remaining countries; however, each line of each country has different figure Over the period of 35 years, while Brazil and Ireland both underwent an insignificant decrease (from 78.00 to 63.75 births, from 20.19 to 10.60 births respectively), Kenya drop dramatically from 166.91 to 83.09 births In contrary, Vietnam slightly increased from 20.28 to 29.03 births.

- Exponential trend model is followed by both Brazil and Kenya While Irelandfollows Quadratic trend model, Vietnam follows Linear trend
- According to the calculation, it is suggested that Linear Trend is the most suitable trend model to predict Adolescent fertility rate The SSE and MAD of
Vietnam is the lowest compare to other countries with different trend model which indicates the Linear trend’s accuracy
PART 5: OVERALL TEAM CONCLUSION
- According to 2 recent reports, it is suggested that there is a relationship between Income
level and Adolescent fertility rate Nevertheless, this relevance becomes
less significant through two researches While from assignment 1 (Figure 1), it can be seen that the relationship between income and AFR is certain, the assignment 2 suggested that GNI only explain approximately 39% of AFR
P(Low AFR | HI) P(Low AFR | MI) P(Low AFR | LI)
Figure 1: Result from Assignment 1
- From our regression test result, Domestic general government health
expenditure per capita appears in 2 out of 3 final models of all countries Moreover, the final model of Low-income countries only have Life expectancy at birth and of Middle-income one is include Compulsory education beside PPP Nonetheless, only Life expectancy and PPP are in agreement with the Hypothesis Testing from
assignment 2 as Compulsory Education only explains around 1% of Adolescent Fertility Rate
On the other hand, since there is no variable which has a significant relationship with AFR, more investigation should be done to find other factors

Trang 28- From figure 2, it suggested that Vietnam, Brazil and Ireland will experience the
upward trend between 2016 and 2020: Vietnam (29.038 to 36.249 births), Brazil (62.677 to 67.965 births), Ireland (10.135 to 12.9 births), meanwhile AFR of Kenya decrease
(81.791 to 71.947 births) From 2020 to 2030, AFR of Kenya, Brazil and Ireland decline, while Vietnam rise from 36.249 to 39.287 births
In our perspective, the ability of United Nation accomplishing their goal (SGD 5) is
insignificantFirstly, although the world’s Adolescent fertility rate decrease annually, the overall trend does not apply to several countries (World Bank 2017) (For example: Vietnam, Iraq) It is reported that 1 out of 5 women and girls have suffered physical or sexual
violence However, 49 countries have not yet come up with the laws to protect
women from such violence (United Nation) Lack of protection from the government would lead to the unwanted births at the early ageSecondly, although child marriage has been decreasing, the progress is not enough to reach 2030’s target It is predicted if the trend continues, between 2017 and 2030, 150 million will get married before 18, which is still a huge number
Overall, further method should be adopted to improve the situation such as raising government expenditure on healthcare in middle and high income countries and invest deeper in factors that have been affecting AFR in low-income countries
