Under-18 conceptions England and Wales Figures for England and Wales show that the 2010 under-18 conception rate (35.5 conceptions per 1,000) is the lowest estimated rate since 1969. The 7.3% decline in the under-18 conception rate 2009 to 2010 represents the greatest single year decrease in the under-18 conception rate since 1975/76. Data for England and Wales show that conception numbers and rates fell at all ages under-18 (see Table 3 in Annex 1). Younger age groups (especially those under 15) continue to account for a very small proportion of teenage conceptions. In 2010 5% of under-18 conceptions in England and Wales were to under 15s. England In 2010, the under-18 conception rate for England was 35.4 conceptions per 1,000 girls aged 15-17. This represents a decline of 7.3% since 2009 (38.2 conceptions per 1,000) and continues the overall downward trend observed since 1998. The under-18 conception rate has fallen by 24% since 1998, down from 46.6 conceptions per 1,000 (see Table 1 in Annex 1). The total number of under-18 conceptions in England has declined by 10.5% since 2009, down from 35,966 to 32,552. The proportion of conceptions leading to abortions for under-18s was 50.3%, up slightly from 2009 (49.1%). Both maternity and abortion rates for under-18s are declining. However, the rate of under-18 conceptions leading to births continues to fall at a faster rate than overall conceptions. In 2010, the rate of under-18 conceptions leading to births was 17.6 per 1,000. This is 10% lower than in 2009 (19.5 per 1,000) and 35% lower than in 1998 (26.9 per 1,000) (see Figure 1 in Annex 1)
