This paper compares three groups of married women, the control group whose marriages remained intact for at least 10 years, a group whose marriages ended in separation or divorce, and a group who were widowed at a particular point in that time period. The women whose marriages would end in divorce or separation were more likely to be in the labor force, had relatively higher income, more predictable wages, and had contributed a proportionately larger share of the total household income while married.

Long-Term Effects of Adolescent Childrearing: A Retrospective Analysis

This study explores the effect of adolescent childrearing on the hourly wages of women in the labor force. Women who were adolescent mothers earn less than other married or previously married women due to an inability to achieve comparable educational levels. Adolescent mothers from more favorable socioeconomic backgrounds fare better than other adolescent mothers in terms of education and income; however, their losses are substantial compared to women from the same background who postponed childrearing. Finally, adolescent mothers are more likely to be or to have been heads of households, with the economic disadvantages of that status.
