Raw Normal View History

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
market opportunities. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.'
