Mate Availability and the Transition to Unwed Motherhood: A Paradox of Population Structure.
South, Scott J.
Journal of Marriage and the Family, v58 n2 p265-79 May 1996
Examines simultaneously the influence of mate availability and other factors on the transition to first marriage and the transition to a first premarital birth. Found that the supply of available mates in the local marriage market has somewhat paradoxical effects on the probability of becoming an unmarried mother. (63 references) (RJM)
