Abstract:

Recent policy initiatives in child support and marriage promotion have led to increased interest in the causes and consequences of men’s family formation decisions. Results from prior research on the factors associated with early male fertility have differed across studies. One plausible reason for these differences is that studies have used data from various cohorts. Considerable changes in family structure, parental education levels, and maternal employment have occurred in the past 50 years, leading to the possibility that the associations between family background and early fertility may have changed over time. This study pools data from 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, the National Educational Longitudinal Surveys, the 1997 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, and the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth to examine whether there are cohort differences in the association between family background characteristics and early fertility for men. We estimate similar models for women, and analyze our data separately by race/ethnicity.
