    High teenage pregnancy rates.

    The global teenage pregnancy rate is at 46 per 1,000 girls, while the adolescent pregnancy rates in Latin America are estimated at 66.5 births pero 1,000. And although total fertility has declined all over the region in the past 30 years, teenage pregnancy has barely changed in the same period. Moreover, the rate of pregnancy among girls younger than 15 has increased (it is the only region of the world where this pattern is observed).

    Drug cartels

    Although drug consumption in Latin America is still relatively low, the illegal drug trade has been a problem in the region for decades. The United States is the primary destination, with around 25-30% going to Europe. The biggest cartels in the 80s and early 90s were the Colombian ones, while nowadays, the Mexican cartels have become dominant in the region. As a result of the cartels, Latin America has the world's highest crime rates.
