“…While FTHS is a public policy designed to enhance the academic performance of high school students, impacting standardized tests in mathematics and reading (Mariano & Arraes, 2018), it has the potential to generate spillover effects on various social outcomes beyond education.…”

“…Specifically regarding education, full-time schooling (FTS) is a public policy that aids in the personal and professional development of high school students (Mariano & Arraes, 2018;Pires & Urzua, 2010). While the literature on the effects of school day length on several outcomes, such as academic performance, crime and early pregnancy, is not yet consolidated (Mariano & Arraes, 2018;Pires & Urzua, 2010), some studies indicate positive effects (Figlio, Holden, & Ozek, 2018;Long, 2014;S anchez & Favara, 2019;Wu, 2020). Other studies suggest ambiguous or non-existent effects (Battistin & Meroni, 2016;Folsom et al, 2016;Jensen, 2013).…”

PurposeAdolescent pregnancy stands as a societal challenge, compelling young individuals to prematurely discontinue their education. Conversely, an expansion of high school education can potentially diminish rates of adolescent pregnancy, given that educational attainment stands as the foremost risk factor influencing sexual initiation, the use of contraceptive methods during initial sexual encounters and fertility. The aim of this paper is to analyze the impact of the implementation of the public educational policy introducing full-time schools (FTS) for high schools in the state of Ceará, Brazil, on early pregnancy rates.Design/methodology/approachUsing the difference-in-differences method with multiple time periods, we measured the average effect of this staggered treatment on the treated municipalities.FindingsThe main result indicates a reduction of 0.849 percentage points in the teenage pregnancy rate. Concerning dynamic effects, the establishment of FTS in treated municipalities results in a 1.183–1.953 percentage point decrease in teenage pregnancy rates, depending on the timing of exposure. We explored heterogeneous effects within socioeconomically vulnerable municipalities, yet discerned no impact on this group. Rigorous tests confirm the robustness of the results.Originality/valueThis paper aims to contribute to: (1) the consolidation of research on the subject, given the absence of such research in Brazil to the best of our knowledge; (2) the advancement and analysis of evidence-based public policy and (3) the utilization of novel longitudinal data and methodology to evaluate adolescent pregnancy rates.
