Welfare and Out-of-Wedlock Childbearing: Evidence from the 1980s Journal of Marriage and Family 52,3 (August 1990): 735-746.

The results indicated a relationship between welfare policy and out-of- wedlock childbearing for white and black, but not for Hispanic adolescents, although the evidence was not strong enough to make this conclusion fully compelling.
