This paper analyzes the effects of the adolescent motherhood on labor participation and level of wealth of the adolescent in the future, in the Peruvian context. For this, a sample of mothers was considered, distinguishing between those who became pregnant in adolescence and those who became pregnant at a later age. The sample and data were obtained from the 2021 Demographic and Family Health Survey database, using modules 1629, 1631, 1632 and 1635. The proposed hypothesis is that pregnancy between 15 and 19 years would complicate the formation of adolescents as human capital due to the responsibilities that adolescent parenthood entails, affecting their employability, economic income and, therefore, their level of wealth in the future. To test the hypothesis, the Bivariate Probit Model and the Ordered Multinomial Probit Model were used, in addition, additional regressions were made with instrumental variables in order to identify any endogeneity problem in the adolescent pregnancy variable. Concluded the study, it was found that the relationship between a teenage pregnancy and the probability of entering the labor market is positive, while for the wealth index, the relationship is negative. Finally, conclusions and public policy recommendations are offered based on the research.
