Book excerpt: Today, one third of all American babies are born to unmarried mothers—a startling statistic that has prompted national concern about the consequences for women, children, and society. Indeed, the debate about welfare and the overhaul of the federal welfare program for single mothers was partially motivated by the desire to reduce out of wedlock births. Although the proportion of births to unwed mothers has stopped climbing for the first time since the 1960s, it has not decreased, and recent trends are too complex to attribute solely to policy interventions. What are these trends and how do they differ across groups? Are they peculiar to the United States, or rooted in more widespread social forces? Do children of unmarried mothers face greater life challenges, and if so what can be done to help them? Out of Wedlock investigates these questions, marshalling sociologists, demographers, and economists to review the state of current research and to provide both empirical information and critical analyses. The conflicting data on nonmarital fertility give rise to a host of vexing theoretical, methodological, and empirical issues, some of which researchers are only beginning to address. Out of Wedlock breaks important new ground, bringing clarity to the data and examining policies that may benefit these particularly vulnerable children.

Download or read book Age at Marriage Age at First Birth and Fertility in Africa written by Charles F. Westoff and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1992 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report derives estimates from national sample surveys conducted in Africa over the past dozen years of the trends in age at first marriage and at first birth. By splicing together cohorts from the earlier World Fertility Survey and the more recent Demographic and Health Surveys, a pattern of rapidly increasing age at marriage and at first birth is depicted for some African countries, while for some others there is evidence of the beginnings of such change. The demographic significance of such changes is explained, and a model of fertility is constructed in which the role of these variables in the association between socioeconomic background factors and reproductive intentions and contraceptive prevalence is described. The units of observation are the provinces or regions of the countries based on a special data bank created for these analyses. The importance of women's education is highlighted, and the trends in educational achievement are reconstructed from these surveys over a 40-year span. The report concludes with some population policy reflections and emphasizes the potential importance of delaying the first birth by increasing the age at marriage. Population policies aimed at reducing fertility should certainly include efforts to raise the age at marriage.
Download or read book Impacts of Changes in Marriage Law written by Prashant Bharadwaj and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1957 the state of Mississippi amended its marriage law. Changes included raising the minimum age for men and women, parental consent requirements, compulsory blood tests and proof of age. As a result, the number of marriages performed in Mississippi fell by more than 60 percent in 2 years. This paper examines the causal impact of the change in marriage law on marriage rates, fertility and educational attainment of women who were affected by the change in law. After the passage of the law, marriage rates declined sharply, and as a result, fertility declined and educational attainment increased. The results are much stronger for blacks than for whites. The black marriage rate among 19-23 year old women in the affected states declined by around 14% over that of the decline in the unaffected states. Black women in this age group also had 0.3 fewer children, and had a 9% higher probability of being enrolled in school. In addition, black women affected by the law change obtained nearly an extra year of schooling as compared to black women not affected by this law change. Among whites, the results are qualitatively similar, though weaker in magnitude and statistical significance. Hence, barriers to marriage can have significant implications for reducing fertility and increasing educational attainment of women.
