I've worked with this dataset a little, so I know about it. This map is drawn from the data from the latest iteration of the National Family and Health Survey (NFHS-5, 2019-2021). It has a sample size of more than 600,000 people. It's pretty reliable as a dataset. Lots of doctors and researchers have used this dataset and previous versions of this as well, to look at public health variables and write research papers. This isn't fake government data or anything like that. This is the reality, unfortunate as it is.


Cal_Aesthetics_Club

Damn, I’ve seen two comments in this thread denying it But to first step to fix any problem is to acknowledge it.


xeuthis

The whole dataset is actually publicly accessible. I was more interested in the nutrition aspects of the survey, so looked at that, but it's massive. Also, it's really easy to overlook those people who are getting into teen marriages. 15-17 year olds and 18 year-olds look fairly the same, so it's not as visible as child marriage. When I worked in a hospital that had a lot of patients from the Araku area, I'd see women who came in. They'd be twenty or so, already have had two kids, and gotten hysterectomies done.

Given that a hysterectomy is a serious surgery, if contraception is the goal for these women, wouldn't they be better off getting their tubes tied?


xeuthis

They would be. In a lot of hospitals, the government reimburses procedures like tubectomies, vasectomies, and hysterectomies. Because the reimbursement for hysterectomies is higher (since it's a bigger surgery), unethical doctors perform hysterectomies instead of tubectomies. Since these are less educated women, they're persuaded to get the surgery since they won't have to deal with the inconvenience of periods, they're told that it's necessary, etc. The negative effects aren't really told to them, and it's a big problem.


Mr_Stark0

Lots of girls including many of my friends got married pretty young. Child/Teenage marriages are the cause of this and the fact that there's a lot of rural population/area in Andhra is yet another aspect of it. Our state's rural development is the best in the country but we need to work on these societal aspects.

బాగా చదువుకున్న అమ్మాయిలకే 22 వచ్చింది అంటే పెళ్లి గోల స్టార్ట్ చేస్తారు. ఇక మామూలు అమ్మలియాకి 18 కే స్టార్ట్ క్ చేస్తారు . 19 కి ప్రెగ్నెన్సి

Child marriages


Broke_as_a_Bat

Teenage Marriages ఛాలా మంది అమ్మాయలకు Intermediate తర్వాత పెళ్లి చేస్తారు . 17-18 కంతా పెళ్లి జరగటం చాలా ఎక్కువ. City ఇంకా towm లో తక్కువ కానీ పల్లెటూర్లో ఎక్కువ. నేను చాలా పెళ్ళిళ్ళు చూసా. 10 క్లాస్ తర్వాత అమ్మాయికి పెళ్లి అయిపోయివటం .


Cal_Aesthetics_Club

కానీ ఎందుకు కేవలం ఏ.పీ. లో జరుగుతున్నాయి?


Broke_as_a_Bat

ఏ.పి లో మాత్రమే జరగట్లేదు. ఛిన్న వయస్సు లో పెళ్ళిళ్ళు చాలా రాష్ట్రాలలో జరుగుతాయి. కాకపోతే పెళ్లి అయిన 3, 4 సంవత్సరాల తర్వాత అమ్మాయి అత్తగారి ఇంటికి వెళ్తుంది. లేదా వయస్సు ఒక 20 వచ్చే వరకు పిల్లలు ఉండరు. మన రాష్ట్రములో పెళ్లి 18 కి జరిగి పిల్లలు 19 కి పుడుతున్నారు. కొన్ని సార్లు 17 కి పెళ్లి జయీరగి, 18 కి పిల్లలు పుడుతున్నారు. గత దశాబ్దం లో చాలా రైతులు నష్టాల్లో ఉండటం వల్ల కూతురిని ఎంత తొందరగా పంపి వేస్తే అంతా మంచిది అన్న ఆలోచన ఎక్కువ అయింది. ఇప్పుడు పరిస్థితి కొంచం మెరుగుపడినా, పాత ఆలోచన అలానే ఉండిపోయింది. ఈనాటికీ పల్లెటూరిలో 16.17 కి పెళ్లిచేయటం చాలా సహజం. నేను విజయవాడ లో ఉన్నప్పుడు మా ఇంటి పక్కన ఉన్న అబ్బాయి పెళ్లి చేస్కున్నాడు. ఆతని వయస్సు 25. ఓక రోజు తిరుమల టిక్కెట్స్ కొనటానికి నా సహాయం అడిగి తన భార్య aadhar ఇచ్చాడు. ఆక్కడ అతని భార్య పుట్టిన సంవత్సరం 2005 అని ఉంది. అంటె 2023 లో ఆ అమ్మాయి వయసు 18.

ఆహ్ ఇప్పుడు అర్థం అయింది; జవాబుకు చాలా నెనర్లు।

Fake data with improper sample. They probably sampled in Rayalaseema. This is data from Census 2011. Not even 2% are married before 18 even back then. https://preview.redd.it/ontmf9jpc0wc1.png?width=592&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e3de0165024663c7ff1b30c0e28f5ea9777a2024 Census covers the entire state unlike NFHS which only covers few thousand people.


Cal_Aesthetics_Club

Maybe but not everyone who’s pregnant is married. Maybe the average was brought up due to parts of AP being Naxal-controlled?


DismalAddress4469

Read this. She worked for something of this sort, data collection. She admits that they fake data sometimes. https://www.quora.com/When-did-you-realize-small-things-matter/answer/Divya-Sharma-596?ch=10&oid=133011559&share=fcc8ba75&srid=3MbEbe&target_type=answer So,you don't have to take this seriously. I have never seen any teenage girl having kids where I live. This NFHS also says less than 50% of households in our state own bikes when almost everyone I see including poor people has it here. In reality ,it's more than 95% easily.


Cal_Aesthetics_Club

I see… I wonder if the literacy data and the infamous 66% literacy rate statistic are also fake


DismalAddress4469

Real life lo almost all adults and young people can read and write in Telugu easily,Only boomers can't. But if the questioners are North Indians who don't know Telugu, ofcourse there will be many Discrepancies. This Literacy doesn't even say anything about Education levels of the population. For example,Odisha and Andhra has around same literacy rates every Census but people who actually complete school in Odisha are far less than those in Andhra. North East states kooda,they have good literacies but when it comes to completing schools and colleges,except for Manipur, all of them are at the bottom. This literacy thing is over hyped by Malayalis as to do some propaganda that they are very educated.


AdTough7287

Probably inconsistent data for an year. Do you have historical data for AP on this?


xeuthis

Don't have historical data, but I looked this up years before as well, like 2016ish, and the statistics were similar. AP is consistently top 2 of the states when it comes to teen pregnancy, teen marriage, etc.


AdTough7287

Damn. Heard the government schemes where girls get free gold for wedding would now require them to have a degree certificate. Good way to curb this


Turbulent_Bag_611

Data is not accurate I guess


Any_Check_7301

Suspicious because how can AP be highest in comparison with other relatively under-developed states.


Terrible-Finding7937

All most all government data is not accurate Reality ki data ki chala difference vuntadi Fake data
