abstract: 'In the United States, the 1990s was a decade of dramatic economic growth
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
as well as a period characterized by substantial declines in teenage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
childbearing. This study examines whether falling teen fertility rates
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
during the 1990s were responsive to expanding employment opportunities
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and whether the implementation of the Personal Responsibility and Work
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Opportunities Act (PRWORA), increasing rates of incarceration, or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
restrictive abortion policies may have affected this association.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixed-effects Poisson regression models were estimated to assess the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
relationship between age-specific birth rates and state-specific
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
unemployment rates from 1990 to 1999 for Black and White females aged
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
10-29. Falling unemployment rates in the 1990s were associated with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
decreased childbearing among African-American women aged 15-24, but were
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
largely unrelated to declines in fertility for Whites. For 18-19
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
year-old African-Americans, the group for whom teen childbearing is most
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
normative, our model accounted for 85\% of the decrease in rates of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
first births. Young Black women, especially older teens, may have
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
adjusted their reproductive behavior to take advantage of expanded labor
|
|
|

|
