The INEGI report reveals an alarming prevalence of adolescent motherhood in Mexico, highlighting an unequal distribution that disproportionately affects states such as Chiapas, Guerrero, and Michoacán. This reality reflects deep social inequality gaps and limited access to healthcare, suggesting that socioeconomic and geographic factors play a critical role in the incidence of early pregnancies among young people. Evidence shows that although overall birth rates have declined over the past decade, significant challenges persist in the coverage and quality of medical care and social services. The high proportion of births in clinical settings is positive, but regional disparities indicate that access to preventive and educational resources is not uniform, calling for targeted interventions to reduce the vulnerability of adolescents in areas with higher incidence rates. This article is relevant to open data because it demonstrates the critical value of transparent public statistics for identifying structural inequalities. By providing detailed breakdowns by age, federal entity, and socioeconomic conditions, open data enable researchers, policymakers, and civil society to audit public policies, monitor trends, and demand evidence-based actions to protect the rights and health of the adolescent population.
