Correlates of change in short-term economic dependency are explored in households of 307 urban black adolescents, approximately half of whom bring babies into the family. Correlates of increased dependency differ with dependency defined as proportion of household members employed as opposed to dependency. The key explanatory variable with both definitions is the adolescent's employment status. Presence of her baby significantly affects an adolescent's job dependency, but not welfare dependency once prior welfare status is controlled. Multivariate models illustrate the roles of transiency, age composition, household structure and the adolescent's father. The conclusion raises questions requiring examination in larger, more representative samples
