Zusammenfassung: | The present study focuses upon socioeconomic and marital outcomes associated with adolescent marriage, adolescent childbirth, and their co-occurrence in a group of 30- to 55-year-old white and black women. The poorest socioeconomic outcomes were associated with adolescent childbirth regardless of the presence or timing of first marriage. However, women who had adolescent marriages without co-occurring adolescent childbirth still experienced socioeconomic deficits relative to women who never married nor gave birth and women who first married and gave birth as adults. Marital instability was associated with both adolescent marriage and adolescent childbirth, although more positive marital outcomes were experienced by women who both married and gave birth in adolescence than by women who married in adolescence but never had children. Results suggest that the degree of risk associated with the co-occurrence of adolescent marriage and adolescent childbirth is different from that associated with either event alone. |
