Nasir Isa-Kwarra, Chairman of the National Population Commission has warned that unintended pregnancy is contributing to the rise in extreme poverty in Nigerian households, as it disrupts women\u2019s jobs and earnings.<\/p>\n

The warning was given by Nasir\u00a0at the launch of the 2022 State of the World Population Report in Abuja.<\/p>\n

He added that unintended pregnancies particularly, among teenagers and adolescent girls, were a major health concern, as they were associated with high morbidity and mortality of both mother and child.<\/p>\n

According to him, unintended pregnancy \u201cpromotes and sustains extreme poverty at household level as it interrupts women\u2019s jobs and earnings.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking on the efforts of the government to prevent unintended pregnancies<\/a>, the NPC chairman said the government had shown commitment to ensuring the fundamental rights of women and girls were exercised.<\/p>\n

While presenting the report, the Deputy Representative of the United Nations Population Fund in Nigeria, Erika Goldson, reiterated that reducing unintended pregnancies was crucial to achieving Sustainable Development Goals.<\/p>\n

The Minister of Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire, who also spoke at the launch, said Nigeria\u2019s rapid population growth hindered economic growth.<\/p>\n

The Minister of Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire, who also spoke at the launch, said Nigeria\u2019s rapid population growth hindered economic growth.<\/p>\n

In its report titled, \u2018Closing Gaps, Increasing Opportunities: A Diagnostic on Women\u2019s Economic Empowerment in Nigeria\u2019, the World Bank estimated the cost of gender gaps to the Nigerian economy as $9.3bn.<\/p>\n

According to the Washington-based bank, this loss was equivalent to 2.3 per cent of the country\u2019s overall gross domestic product.<\/p>\n

In the report, the World Bank said that women lacked as many opportunities as men in the area of employment, which had affected their productivity in the country.<\/p>\n

The report read in part, \u201cThe total estimated forgone earnings stemming from gender gaps in agricultural productivity, firm profits, and wage earnings amount to $9.3bn, equivalent to 2.3 per cent of overall gross domestic product. This is a lower bound estimate, which corresponds to the amount of additional earnings generated if every woman\u2019s productivity, profits, and wage level were equalized with those of men. Using GDP multipliers, which take into account potential spillover effects across sectors of the economy, the costs could be as high as $22.9bn, or 5.8 per cent of overall GDP.\u201d<\/p>\n

The World Bank stressed the need to close existing gender gaps and empower women economically.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
