A total of 1,120 women, or an
average six women a day, have given birth out of wedlock over the past six
months.
Rep. Ahn=
Myoung-ock of the opposition Grand National Party (GN=
P)
Monday released a report for the National Assembly regarding the 1,120
unmarried women who gave birth to children in 16 help centers nationwide. <=
o:p>
Those between the ages of 16-=
20
took up 40.5 percent, or 469, of the total, followed by those aged between
21-25 with 38.2 percent, or 428.
Unmarried teenage mothers und=
er 15
accounted for 1.3 percent, or 15.
According to the report, 73.6
percent, or 824, of the 1,120 babies born to unwed mothers were adopted to
families in South Ko=
rea
and abroad.
Only 15.3 percent, or 171 bab=
ies,
have been raised by their unwed mothers.
Among 824 adoptees, 534, or 6=
4.8
percent, have grown up in Korea,
while 290 children, or 35.2 percent, have been adopted abroad. <=

However, among a total of 3,8=
99
children who were adopted last year, 2,258, or 57.9 percent, were sent to o=
ther
countries while 42.1 percent, or 1,641, were adopted in Korea. =
Rep. Ahn=
,
a member of the Health and Welfare Committee at the National Assembly, said
that currently 16 centers nationwide provide protection services for 352 si=
ngle
mothers living there.
However, 10 out of 16 centers=
have
received 1.76 billion won in government grants, while six others have been
without financial support.
``Pregnant teenagers need hel=
p from
family members, schools and peers. They need practical measures, such as
medical aid, because pregnancy, abortion and sexual violence negatively aff=
ect
their health and their lives,'' Ahn said. =
She also said that teenage gi=
rls
should be provided with better information about contraception and sex to
prevent unwanted pregnancies.
The number of women giving bi=
rth to
babies in women's help centers increased from 1,506 in 2000 to 1,801 in 200=
1,
1,890 in 2002, and 2,246 in 2003, according to the centers.
