Adolescents and young people everywhere deserve the option to delay childbearing in order to complete their education, and meet their life goals. They deserve to have the option of choosing a reliable long-term contraceptive method or any method of that meets their needs. With the largest-ever generation of adolescents in history entering their reproductive years right now, the growing generational divide has massive implications for sustainable development—particularly in developing countries where the median age typically skews much younger.
