Abstract (Translated): 
Adolescent pregnancy is a latent event in the world, especially in developing countries, and it has consequences of great importance for the young women who face it. This work seeks to demonstrate these consequences in the career of Bolivian women who, although they are not between 15 and 19 years of age, were mothers in their adolescence. The work analyzes the years 2012 and 2019, uses three dependent variables, the Blinder-Oaxaca Decomposition and the Fairlie extension to show the consequences of the phenomenon, finding that teen pregnancy generates a gap between the observation group and their pairs.
