Effects of family structure on the risk of first premarital birth in the presence of correlated unmeasured family effects

Article Abstract:

The effects of family structure on the risk of a first premarital birth for a sample of women from the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth are surveyed. Moreover, further research using additional data and models that lay out finer mechanisms of the process generating family structure might lead to better understanding of the nature of family effects.
