Many teens, particularly boys, feel pressure to have sex, and they say drugs and alcohol often lead to sex - often without condoms. The teen survey, released Monday by the Kaiser Family Foundation, paints a comprehensive portrait of youth attitudes about sex and the risk of pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. Teen pregnancy and birth rates have been falling for a decade - a trend that other surveys have attributed to a drop in sexual activity and an increased use of condoms and other forms of birth control. Still, the Kaiser survey spotlights areas of concern: Four in 10 sexually active teenagers have taken a pregnancy test or had a partner who did so. A significant minority of young people - about one in six - say having sex without a condom occasionally is not a big deal. And one in five say they have had unprotected sex after drinking or using drugs. Other surveys have found that nearly two in three teens will have had sex by the time they graduate from high school. The Kaiser survey shows that many have intimate relationships before that, with more than half of 15-to-17-year-olds saying they have been with someone in a sexual way. Among teens who have not yet had sex, nearly a third say they have been ``intimate'' with a partner. ``Changing social norms and cultural expectations as well as delayed marriage means many young people have multiple sexual relationships in their lifetimes and need the information and tools to make healthy decisions and communicate with their partners,'' the report said. About one in three teens said they had been in a relationship where they felt things were moving too fast sexually. Separately, the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy was releasing its own study Tuesday examining sex among younger teens. It found that about one in five teens report having sex before they turn 15 years old. That report, a compilation of data from earlier surveys, also found that younger teen girls who are sexually experienced were more likely than older teens to say they wish they had waited to have sex. ``Parents, program leaders, school officials, community leaders and others need to recognize that sex and dating are important issues for middle school age youth that cannot be ignored,'' the campaign said. The Kaiser survey found that boys face particular pressure to have sex, often from male friends - in contrast to the typical portrait of boys pressuring girls. ``There are a lot of expectations for boys to be sexually active,'' said Julia Davis, senior program officer at the Kaiser Family Foundation, an independent group that studies health issues. One in three boys ages 15-17 say they feel pressure to have sex, compared with 23 percent of girls. The pressure to drink alcohol was greater for both boys and girls; pressure to use drugs was about even with pressure to have sex. Overall, 63 percent of all 15-17-year-olds agreed either strongly or somewhat that ``waiting to have sex is a nice idea but nobody really does it,'' with boys 6 percentage points more likely to say so. The survey also found: More than eight in 10 teens say that a lot or some people their age drink or use drugs before having sex. Seven in 10 said their peers don't use condoms when they are drinking or using drugs. About a quarter said that alcohol or drugs had influenced their decision to do something sexual at least once. More than half of teens believe oral sex is not as big a deal as sexual intercourse, with boys more likely to believe this. Four in 10 consider oral sex ``safer sex,'' although some diseases can be transmitted this way. 05/20/03 06:46 EDT Copyright 2003 The Associated Press.

Some want to keep working; others have no choice. The number of people 65 and older who are working or looking for work numbers almost 4.5 million, the bureau said in a report released Tuesday - a rise of almost 50 percent between 1980 and 2002. It amounts to 13.2 percent of the 65-and-older population of 33.8 million in March 2002, according to a Census Bureau report released Tuesday. In 1980, about 3 million people - 12.6 percent of the 24.2 million residents 65 and older - were in the labor force. The share of older workers declined to 11.9 percent in 1990, but has risen steadily since then. Some work for a career change they couldn't pursue earlier in life, like opening a small business. Others return to the work force amid worries that stock market losses and Social Security won't be able to cover prescription drug costs and other needs. With the economy still struggling, expect more workers to forego retirement for a job, said Edward Coyle, executive director of the Alliance for Retired Americans. ``People are more nervous now than they were a year ago,'' Coyle said. ``You have lots of folks approaching retirement age, scratching their heads and wondering if they can do it.'' The latest Census Bureau data comes from a nationwide survey of 70,000 homes in March 2002 that covered a range of socio-economic characteristics, from income to education. Among other findings: About one-third of those 65 and older live alone. That's virtually unchanged since 1980. Roughly 1 in 10 live in poverty. More than 8 of 10 homes headed by an older person are owned, a high since 1982 but in line with the overall growth of homeownership in the United States. About 18 percent of men 65 and over were in the labor force, almost twice the rate for women. While some seniors have simply delayed retirement and others have taken the opportunity to open small businesses, others were forced back into the labor market. Most of these people took low-level administrative or service jobs, which were plentiful during the late 1990s, said Jared Bernstein, an economist with Economic Policy Institute. More than 15 percent of 65-and-over employees worked in sales in 2002, the largest share of any occupation. It was followed by professional fields, like architecture or medicine, and clerical jobs. Congress voted in 1983 to raise the retirement age from 65 to 67 by 2027. The change may have encouraged some older workers in the 1980s and 1990s to put off retirement even though the change didn't immediately affect them, said John Haaga, a demographer with the Population Reference Bureau, a research group. Other reasons cited by Haaga: People are living longer, healthier lives and feel like working longer, and an increasing number of women have returned to work after raising children. Concerns over the solvency of Social Security, rising health care costs and the faltering economy have played roles too, Bernstein said. In March, government trustees said Medicare - the health care program for seniors - would be insolvent by 2026, four years earlier than previously predicted, as the massive Baby Boom generation hits retirement age. Social Security's projected insolvency date is 2042. The stock market swoon of recent years put a dent in many workers' retirement reserves as well, forcing some to head back to work, Bernstein said. 05/21/03 01:53 EDT Copyright 2003 The Associated Press.
