What If You Earned a Diploma and Delayed Parenthood? Intergenerational Simulations of Delayed Childbearing and Increased Education Research Brief 2014-27, Child Trends, June 2014.

Keyword(s): Age at First Birth; Childbearing; Children, Well-Being; Economic Well-Being; Educational Attainment; High School Diploma; Intergenerational Patterns/Transmission; Mothers, Adolescent This brief reports the results of using the Social Genome Model to provide a better understanding of how delaying childbearing and improving the educational attainment of teen mothers in one generation can be linked to the improved economic well-being of their children. This brief specifically reports results from "What if" simulations, in which teen mothers' age at their first birth was increased by two or five years and in which the mothers earn a high school diploma. The implications of these changes on the life of the mothers' children are estimated through childhood and up to age 29. |
