A DJ saved my life

摘要

Only in desperate times do governments enlist the help of teenage disc jockeys. Thailand's ministry of social development must be in a panic: it has hired more than 500 of them. Its desperation stems from the teenage-pregnancy rate, which has risen even as the overall birth rate has dropped. Thailand has one of the highest teenage-pregnancy rates in South-East Asia (see chart). Hence the djs, who will promote safe sex on the radio.
