There were 16,740 conceptions to women aged under 18 years in 2017, compared with 18,086 in 2016 - a 7.4 per cent decrease.
This is a 61.1 per cent decrease on figures 10 years ago, when 42,988 conceptions were recorded.
The conception rate per 1,000 women under 18 has also fallen by 57 per cent since 2007 to 17.9 in 2017.
And among girls aged under 16, the number of estimated conceptions fell more sharply from 2,821 in 2016 to 2,517 in 2017 - a decrease of 10.8 per cent.
