Fewer Michigan teenagers are having babies, and the state is seeing fewer premature births, according to a new report looking at health and birth trends.
But the Kids Count in Michigan Right Start report indicates that the number of babies born to unwed mothers has risen dramatically over the last decade, accounting for 41 percent of babies born between 2008 and 2010.
The report, released today by the Michigan League for Human Services' Kids Count in Michigan project, looks at eight maternal and infant health measures and ranks 81 of the state’s 83 counties.
