Implication for Viable Economy: The population comprised of the adolescents and parents in Lagos State. Nigeria. Three hundred and twenty five (325) students and three hundred and twenty five (325) parents were random selected in two (2) junior secondary schools as samples from Yaba LCDA. Lagos States.

Result revealed that, (52%) of the parent support school-based sex education but most of the parents do not discuss sexualty issues with their children or ward due to various reasons like religious restrictions and decency: Most parents 33%) do support teaching youths the use of condom as an alternative to prevent unwanted Pregnancy. 48% of the youths agree they learn about sex from their parents. The result revealed a significant difference between father and mother's in the level of interaction with their teenage children as regards sexualty education. All agreed with the fact that parent non-involvement in sexuality education are among major causes of youths’ early introduction to sex resulting in rape, sexually transmitted diseases.(STDs) and unplanned pregnancies which dramatically causes school dropouts leading to financial waste thereby affecting the economy of family. It was revealed that youths can go into diversified business plans or better still further their education and training in case of unwanted pregnancies to provide for the viable economy and help them and the family. It was recommended that parents need to communicate with their children about sex and develop practices and programs that encourage teens to delay the initiation of sex or other risky sexual behaviors until they are older. It is also recommended that parenting education classes or workshops should be organized for parents.en_US
