Definition
Proportion of women aged 20-24 years who were married or in a union before age 18.
Method of Calculation
Number of women aged 20 to 24 years who were first married or in union before age 18 divided by the total number of women aged 20 to 24 in the population multiplied by 100.
Data source specific method of calculation:
DHS:
Numerator:
Number of women aged 20 to 24 years whose first marriage or consensual union occurred before age 18.
Denominator:
Number of women aged 20 to 24 years, including those who have never been married or in a consensual union.
Calculation:
Numerators are divided by the overall denominator and multiplied by 100.
IPUMS:
The number of females aged 20 to 24 years who married before age 18 divided by the total number of persons age 20 to 24. Age at marriage is determined using the IPUMS AGEMARR variable, which indicates age at first marriage or consensual union: Link. Samples vary in treatment of consensual unions.

Comments
DHS: Percentages are not calculated for the age-at-first-marriage categories by cohorts of women where the youngest member of the cohort has not yet completed the oldest age of the category. For example, percentages for the cohort of women 15-19 at the time of the survey will not be calculated for age categories 18, 20, 22, and 25 because some women (or men) who have never been married are still below those ages and could still marry or start to live in a consensual union before reaching those age categories.
IPUMS: Age at first marriage is available only for persons in their first marriage or union in the following samples: Argentina 2001, Romania 1992, and Spain 1981. Indicator values have been calculated for these censuses but caution should be used in cross-national comparisons involving these samples.
