Abstract

As a marginal group, adolescent migrants’ reproductive health status is little known. This paper mainly focus on individual and community factors effecting on adolescent migrants’ reproductive health and needs. It is shown that two migrant groups should be more considered: unmarried migrants especially those living separately from their families and married men. Adolescent migrants face large obstacles for seeking services, and their access to information and services are very limited. Adolescent migrants live in certain community where social environment, social network and access to information and services affect their reproductive health status. Adolescent migrants just receive very limited and abridge information from their fellows and medias passively. Compared with other city residents, adolescent migrants are at disadvantages for economic, mental and culture side in process of seeking services.
