1.	First Comes Marriage or the Baby Carriage? The Connection Between the Sequencing of Marriage and Parenthood and Millennial Parents' Economic Well-being Presented: Denver CO, Population Association of America Annual Meeting, April 2018 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Childbearing, Premarital/Nonmarital; Economic Well-Being; Marriage; Parenthood Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. A record 55% of Millennial parents ages 28 to 34 have put childbearing before marriage--more than double the share among the Baby Boomers (25%) when they were parents at the same age. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1997 (NLSY97), we examine the link between the sequencing of marriage and parenthood and economic well-being among young adults ages 28 to 34. Our findings suggest that young adults who put marriage before any childbearing are much more likely to avoid poverty and find themselves at least in the middle class, compared with their peers who have children before or outside marriage, and even compared with their peers who have not married. Further analysis reveals that the number of children Millennials have and their living arrangements are major factors that help to explain differences in economic outcomes.

[Extracted from Executive Summary]: A record 55% of Millennial parents (ages 28-34) have put childbearing before marriage, according to a new analysis of Bureau of Labor Statistics' Panel data by the American Enterprise Institute and the Institute for Family Studies. As the oldest of the nation's largest generation, these Millennials were born between 1980 and 1984 and were surveyed between 2013 and 2014, in the latest wave of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97). By comparison, when the youngest Baby Boomers (born between 1957 and 1964) were the same age and became parents, only a quarter of them had their first child before marriage...These divergent paths toward adulthood are associated with markedly different economic fortunes among Millennials. Young adults who put marriage first are more likely to find themselves in the middle or upper third of the income distribution, compared to their peers who have not formed a family and especially compared to their peers who have children before marrying.
