Determinants of Teenage Out-of-Wedlock Childbearing Presented: New Orleans, LA, Population Association of America Meetings, April 1988 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Abortion; Adolescent Fertility; Childbearing; Family Planning; Fathers, Absence; Fertility; Household Composition; Marital Status; Teenagers Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study provides new evidence on the causes of teenage out-of-wedlock childbearing. It uses the NLSY to follow the fertility and marital history of young teenage girls. Personal and family background characteristics in this data set are merged with state data on welfare policy, on abortion and family planning policies and service availability, and on the socio-economic environment. Discrete time hazard models and cross-section logit models are used to assess the effects of a wide set of explanatory variables on the probability that a girl will have an out-of-wedlock birth. |
