Early Childbearing and Later Economic Well-Being.
Hofferth, Sandra L.; Moore, Kristin A.
American Sociological Review, v44 n5 p784-815 Oct 1979
Early childbearing is shown to have an effect on the education of the mother, the size of her ultimate family, and her labor force participation. Early first birth was found to be less detrimental to the later economic well being of Black women than of White women. (RLV)
