The intergenerational transmission of age at first birth among married and unmarried men and women

Article Abstract:

This article examines the influence white mothers' backgrounds have on their children's premarital childbirth. The author maintains rates of premarital childbirth of young women are influenced by a number of factors, such as grandfather's occupation and mother's education and contraceptive use, whereas rates of premarital childbirth for young men seem to be influenced only by mother's education.
