To identify this effect, it took an epidemiological approach, exploiting the variations in teenage women's fertility rates by ancestral home country. Using three different databases (the US National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979, the US National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, and the 2000 US Census), the results show that culture has quantitatively important effects on the fertility behavior of teenage women. This finding is robust to alternative specifications, to the introduction of a range of home country variables to proxy culture, and to the measurement of individual characteristics present when teenage women continue with a pregnancy to have a child.

A descriptive methodology is used to help illuminate the complex interaction of race, gender, & class in the lives of these women, focusing on exploring how being a service worker when young contributed to a different life story for women of different races & classes. Analysis indicates that black women experienced considerably less occupational mobility than white women, & were far more likely to get stuck in low-paid service occupations over the long term. Many of the white women, but few of the black, were able to use service work as a temporary means of support while they prepared themselves for more lucrative employment. Striking differences in class background & presence of children appeared to contribute to racial difference in mobility. 10 Tables, 27 References. Adapted from the source document.

Also: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/13545700500508478 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Routledge ==> Taylor & Francis (1998) Keyword(s): Children; Disadvantaged, Economically; Divorce; Gender; Marriage; Parenthood; Parents, Single; Wealth Special Issue: A Special Issue on Women and Wealth (Guest Edited by Carmen Diana Deere and Cheryl R. Doss) In the United States, household wealth is unequally distributed. While facts about the distribution are readily available, less is known about the family dynamics that underlie this important component of inequality. An increasing number of households are headed by single females (both never married and divorced), and the number of single mothers among these households has grown in recent decades. This article explores differences in wealth in the US by marital status, gender, and parenting status. It focuses on young baby boomers, finding a minimal gender gap in the wealth of never-married people. However, when controlling for parenthood, strong evidence was found of a family gap in household wealth accumulation, with single mothers and fathers economically disadvantaged in comparison to adults without children. Yet, it was found that single mothers suffer the most severe economic penalties in household wealth accumulation.
