2.	Re-evaluating the Costs of Teenage Childbearing Presented: Bethesda, MA, NICHD Conference, "Outcomes of Early Childbearing: An Appraisal of Recent Evidence", May 1992 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Keyword(s): Adolescent Fertility; Childbearing; Childbearing, Adolescent; Family Background and Culture; Family Size; Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID); Siblings; Well-Being Teenage childbearing in the U.S. has long been regarded as an important social problem with substantial costs to mothers and their children. Recently, however, several researchers have argued that these apparent negative effect primarily reflect unmeasured family background rather than the true causal effect of a teen birth. To unravel the effect of teen motherhood from that of family background, we, following the methodology proposed by Geronimus and Korenman, compare teen mothers with their sisters, using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics. We find that taking full account of family background reduces, but does not eliminate, the estimated consequences of early childbearing. Statistically significant and quantitatively important effects of teen parenthood remain for high school graduation, family size, and a set of measures of economic well-being.

3.	Mediators of Educational Attainment Among Early Childbearers Presented: Bethesda, MA, NICHD Conference, "Outcomes of Early Childbearing: An Appraisal of Recent Evidence", May 1992 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Keyword(s): Adolescent Fertility; Age at First Intercourse; Educational Milestones; Fertility; Schooling, Post-secondary The purpose of the present study is to more fully examine the mediators of educational attainment among teenage mothers. We extend previous work by developing multivanate models of educational outcomes for these women. In addition, this analysis is based on the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, a national survey which contains a larger, and more representative sample of teenage mothers whose fertility experiences were more recent than the samples used in earlier studies of this topic. The theoretical model guiding our analysis assumes that teenage mothers' ultimate educational attainment is mediated by: early background characteristics, pre-birth educational characteristics, characteristics at first birth and post-birth experiences. In developing this model as well as choosing the variables in each mediating set, we were influenced by the status attainment literature, research on the effects of age at f'st birth on educational outcomes, Furstenberg's study, and of course, the data available from the NLSY. Below, we discuss our conceptualization of the outcome measure as well as each of the mediating variable sets presented in Figure 1. Educational Attainment

Economists, especially health and labor economists, have long studied the trade-offs that families face and the decisions they make about childbearing and market labor supply. Economists are, therefore, quite used to thinking about workfamily "mismatch", the theme of the conference, as work-family trade-offs.
