3/3. How to Stop Children Having Babies. How can Britain cut its record level of teenage pregnancies? The answer may lie with girls who fall into a new government category - Neets - teenagers not in education, employment or training. Female Neets are 22 times more likely than the average girl to become a teenage mum. So reducing the number of Neets could be the key to cutting teenage pregnancies. Simon Cox investigates whether the Government can really stop teenagers having sex or should the older men, who are often the fathers, be forced to pay up and take responsibility.
