Teen childbearing in the United States has been declining since 1991, yet we consistently have the highest teen birth rates in the industrialized world. In 1997, Kids Having Kids was the first comprehensive effort to identify the consequences of teen childbearing for the mothers, the fathers, the children, and our society. Rather than simply comparing teen mothers with their childless counterparts, the assembled researchers achieved a new methodological sophistication, seeking to isolate the birth itself from the mother's circumstances and thus discover its true costs. This updated second edition features a new chapter evaluating teen pregnancy interventions, along with revised and updated versions of most first edition chapters.

Four hundred thousand children under age 18 give birth every year in the United States--a rate twice as high as that in any other advanced country. This is the first book that makes systematic estimates of the economic and social impact of such childbearing?to the mothers, the fathers, their children, and society. Among its findings: the sons of these very young mothers are nearly three times as likely to serve a prison sentence as other women's sons. The expenses in welfare, health, and other public benefits amount to $4 billion a year. This informative and readable book by leading experts examines the issue from many perspectives and discusses strengths and weaknesses of specific policies and programs.
