AASSVE, ARNSTEIN Economic Resources and Single Motherhood: Incidence and Resolution of Premarital Childbearing among Young American Women MPIDR Working Paper No. 2000-015, Max-Planck Institute for Demographic Research, December 2000. Also: http://www.demogr.mpg.de/Papers/Working/wp-2000-015.pdf Cohort(s): NLSY79 ID Number: 3978 Publisher: Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper analyses the impact of economic resources on the likelihood of out-ofwedlock childbearing and the consequent family formation behaviour after such an event. The analysis is undertaken by specifying a multi-state, multi-spell duration model, with dynamic interactions. The results suggest that the economic resources which young women face are indeed important, not only as determinants of premarital childbearing, but also for how out-of-wedlock childbearing is resolved. Simulations indicates that welfare generosity and family resources are the most important determinants, whereas personal earnings potential plays a less important role.

This paper extends previous work on premarital childbearing by modeling both the entry rates and the exit rates of unwed motherhood among young American women. In particular, I investigate the impact of economic resources on the likelihood of experiencing a premarital birth and then of subsequent marriage. Using a multiple-destination, multiple-spell hazard regression model and a microsimulation analysis, I analyze the accumulating effects of various economic variables. The results show that the economic resources are indeed important both for premarital childbearing and for subsequent marriage. However, the simulations show that large changes in these economic variables do not necessarily translate into large changes in nonmarital childbearing.

Role of Income in Marriage and Divorce Transitions Among Young Americans Journal of Population Economics 16,3 (2003): 455-476.

The paper investigates the importance of income in young Americans decisions to form and dissolve households. Using data on young American men and women from the NLSY, an important role for income in both these transitions is found. There are significant differences between young men and women. High earnings capacity increases the probability of marriage and decreases the probability of divorce for young men. High earnings capacity decreases the probability of marriage for young women, and has no impact on divorce. Search returned 3 items. Search Start: 20:23:59 Search Finish: 20:23:59
