A National Profile of Young Unwed Fathers: Who Are They and How Are They Parenting? In: Young Unwed Fathers: Research Review, Policy Dilemmas, and Options, Volume II. J Smollar and T Ooms, eds. Washington, DC: Catholic University, 1987 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: U.S. Department of Commerce Keyword(s): Adolescent Fertility; Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB); Children; Educational Attainment; Fathers; Fathers, Absence; High School Dropouts; Hispanic Youth; Hispanics; Marital Status; Racial Differences; Substance Use; Work Attachment Lerman's research on young unwed fathers provides some evidence that white mothers may exit the never-married (i.e., marry out of the population) at a faster rate than black mothers. Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Youth, he found that unlike blacks, the majority of white and Hispanic young unwed fathers in 1979 had married the mother of their children and were living with all of their children by 1984. |
