Relationship Context and the Transition to a Nonmarital Birth Presented: Washington, DC, Bureau of Labor Statistics Conference Center, NLSY97 Tenth Anniversary Conference, May 29-30, 2008. Also: http://harrisschool.uchicago.edu/Research/conferences/NLSYConf/pdf/Manlove_et_al_NonMarital_Birth.pdf Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): Childbearing, Premarital/Nonmarital; Cohabitation; Contraception; Fertility; Pregnancy and Pregnancy Outcomes; Sexual Activity The key hypothesis for this paper is that decision-making about nonmarital childbearing and its proximate determinants (including sexual activity, contraceptive use and pregnancy) is often made within the context of relationships. In fact, some researchers state that nonmarital childbearing, including childbearing within cohabiting relationships, is best studied with information about both partners (Seltzer, 2000). However, the majority of research on nonmarital childbearing focuses on family, individual, community, and social policy factors associated with the transition to a nonmarital birth. … This study expands previous research by using nationally representative longitudinal data to examine the association between relationship and partner characteristics, as well as individuals' sexual, marital and fertility histories, and the transition to a nonmarital birth for males and females. |
