Looking at the age patterns for young women, the proportion <strong>of</strong> women reporting that they<br />

had sex before age 15 <strong>and</strong> 18 are lower among those under age 20 than among those above age 20.<br />

Lower percentages <strong>of</strong> women age 18-19 had initiated sex before age 18 than women age 20-24. This<br />

likely reflects the effect <strong>of</strong> rising age at marriage, because a negligible proportion <strong>of</strong> never-married<br />

young women report that they had sex by age 15 or by age 18.<br />

There are obvious differences in age at first sexual intercourse among youth by district,<br />

education, <strong>and</strong> wealth quintile. For example, 4 percent <strong>of</strong> young women with primary education had<br />

first sexual intercourse before the age <strong>of</strong> 15, <strong>and</strong> about 31 percent had initiated sexual intercourse<br />

before the age <strong>of</strong> 18. On the other h<strong>and</strong>, less than 1 percent <strong>of</strong> young men with primary <strong>and</strong> secondary<br />

education had sexual intercourse before the age <strong>of</strong> 15, <strong>and</strong> 11 percent before age 18.<br />
