More babies are being born to teen mothers in Saskatchewan, per capita, than in any other province, a Statistics Canada report says.

According to numbers released Wednesday by the federal statistics agency, births to mothers between 15 and 19 accounted for 6.8 per cent of all live births in 2013.

That's higher than the rate in any other province. While Manitoba's rate is close (6.6 per cent), Alberta's (3.4 per cent) is only half that of Saskatchewan's.

Meanwhile, Quebec has the lowest teen birth rate in Canada: 2.1 per cent.
