Correlates and Patterns of Adolescents' First Romantic Relationships in Three Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries
Redefining Roles: Household Migration and Childhood Labor
Migration by some household members has significant economic, social, and psychological impacts both on migrants and on members of the household who do not migrate, especially children. This study examines one dimension of children’s experiences of migration by exploring its associations with their time use, focusing on the sending context of Nepal, a country of high levels of primarily circular migration. Drawing on data from the Family Migratio…
Mother–Child Religious Affiliation Discordance and Mother's Psychosocial Wellbeing in a Rural Sub‐Saharan Setting
Considerable scholarship has investigated connections between religious belonging and intergenerational family ties in high‐income contexts. Building and expanding on this scholarship, we use data from a survey of middle‐aged women in a predominantly Christian rural setting in Mozambique to examine religious affiliation discordance between these women and their adolescent/young adult children. We describe the patterning of this discordance both a…
Trends and Levels in Men’s and Women’s Fertility Goals in the United States
Understanding trends in fertility goals (attitudes, desires, intentions, etc.), as well as variation by age and parity, is important for understanding current U.S. fertility and assessing likely future outcomes. Both men’s and women’s childbearing goals shape fertility behavior. However, most research on fertility goals focuses on women, and little is known about how men’s fertility goals may have changed over time or vary by age and parity. In t…
Parenthood and Women’s Subjective Well-being in a Low-income, High-fertility Context: A Case Study from Rural Gaza Province, Mozambique
In rural high-fertility settings where people depend on subsistence agriculture, children are expected to provide material support to their parents in later life, with implications for physical health and material well-being of parents. Substantial research has examined these material consequences. Fewer studies have examined the implications of parenthood for subjective well-being in these contexts, in contrast to a larger body of research in lo…
Association Between Negative Pregnancy Desires and Recent Condomless Sex Among Couples in Vietnam
We examined the association between negative pregnancy desires and women's semen exposure, a measure of recent condomless sex, among 500 different-sex couples using condoms for contraception. We analyzed data from a trial in Thanh Hoa, Vietnam which longitudinally assessed women's semen exposure via prostate-specific antigen in vaginal fluid. At enrollment, partners independently reported the importance of avoiding pregnancy for the next six mont…
Feelings About Abortion at Time of Care: Findings from an Ohio Abortion Facility
Household Migration and Adolescent Marriage Choice in Settings with Changing Marriage Systems
This article examines the relationship between family experiences of migration and adolescents' preferences about who should make the decision about who to marry in two migrant-sending regions. Shifts in familial involvement in spouse choice, like other changes in marriage and family systems, are connected to broader social and economic changes that reduce the centrality of family relationships. Migrant household members may contribute to these c…
Educational experiences and American young adults' childbearing goals: A research note
Objective: This research note describes the relationship between young adults' educational experiences and childbearing goals in the U.S. Background: In the U.S., education is associated with later childbearing and fewer children, but the relationship between education and fertility desires and intentions is less well-understood. This article contributes to the research literature by illustrating variation in prospective fertility goals by educat…
Evolving Fertility Goals and Behaviors in Current U.S. Childbearing Cohorts
In the post‐Recession era, U.S. fertility rates have continued to fall. It is unclear if these declines are driven by shifts in fertility goals or growing difficulty in achieving goals. In this paper, we construct synthetic cohorts of men and women to examine both cross‐cohort and within‐cohort changes in fertility goals using multiple cycles of the National Survey of Family Growth. Although more recent cohorts exhibit lower achieved fertility at…
Desired fertility and educational aspirations: Adolescent goals in rapidly changing social contexts
Objective: This article analyzes the relationship between educational aspirations and fertility aspirations early in the life course in three different settings. Background: The negative relationship between women's educational attainment and childbearing is one of the most consistent associations in social science. Family scholars have a more limited understanding of the relationship between educational aspirations and fertility aspirations befo…
Youth’s Family and Non‐Family Roles as Predictors of Subjective Adulthood in Three Low‐Income Agricultural Settings
Subjective adulthood, or feeling like an adult, captures identity development relative to the local context that shapes life course processes. Most research on this topic is conducted in wealthy developed countries. Instead, we draw on household-based survey data from the Family Migration and Early Life Outcomes project (FAMELO) to estimate ordinal logistic regression models predicting how often adolescents aged 11-17 in Jalisco, Mexico (n = 1,56…
Bridewealth Marriage in the 21st Century: A Case Study from Rural Mozambique
OBJECTIVE: This study examines trends over several decades in bridewealth marriage and analyzes the association of bridewealth with women's experiences in marriage in a rural sub-Saharan setting. BACKGROUND: Bridewealth - payments from the groom's to the bride's family as part of the marriage process - has long been a central element of kinship and marriage systems in patrilineal sub-Saharan Africa. This payment, which symbolizes the transfer of …
Black-White Differences in Pregnancy Desire During the Transition to Adulthood
This article explores race differences in the desire to avoid pregnancy or become pregnant using survey data from a random sample of 914 young women (ages 18–22) living in a Michigan county and semi-structured interviews with a subsample of 60 of the women. In the survey data, desire for pregnancy, indifference, and ambivalence are very rare but are more prevalent among Black women than White women. In the semi-structured interviews, although few…
Men's migration and women's mortality in rural Mozambique
Gender Differences in Adolescents' Work and Family Orientations in the United States
We use the Education Longitudinal Study: 2002 to compare the perceived importance of work and family achievement among young women and men. We apply latent class analysis to identify distinct configurations of values, then examine associations between latent classes and educational and occupational expectations. Results show high ambitions for both work and family among both young women and men. Although young women are more likely than young men…
Delayed Adulthood, Delayed Desistance? A Brief Report on Changing Age Schedules of Risky Behaviors
Desistance from the risky behaviors associated with adolescence is linked to entry into adult roles like marriage and employment. Increases in the age of these transitions may delay desistance from risky behaviors. Using population data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics and the National Center for Health Statistics, and tabulated data from Monitoring the Future, we chart trends in six problem behaviors—arrests, marijuana use, binge drinking, …
Changing Educational Differentials in Female Sterilization
Among women with a high school diploma, elements other than childbearing and marital status-such as contraceptive preferences and access-appeared to influence their contraceptive behavior. Sterilization differentials between high school and college graduates may reflect or exacerbate other socioeconomic disparities that affect women's health and well-being
Pathways to Parenthood in Social and Family Contexts: Decade in Review, 2020
Future research on the pathways to parenthood should continue to study group differentials, refine measurement and theories, and better integrate men and couples. Childbearing research is relevant for social policy, but ideological factors impact the application of research to policy
Abortion Access in Ohio’s Changing Legislative Context, 2010–2018
Objectives. To examine abortion utilization in Ohio from 2010 to 2018, a period when more than 15 abortion-related laws became effective. Methods. We evaluated changes in abortion rates and ratios examining gestation, geographic distribution, and abortion method in Ohio from 2010 to 2018. We used data from Ohio’s Office of Vital Statistics, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Abortion Surveillance Reports, the American Community Surv…
Preferences, Partners, and Parenthood: Linking Early Fertility Desires, Marriage Timing, and Achieved Fertility
In the United States, underachieving fertility desires is more common among women with higher levels of education and those who delay first marriage beyond their mid-20s. However, the relationship between these patterns, and particularly the degree to which marriage postponement explains lower fertility among the highly educated, is not well understood. We use data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 cohort to analyze differences …
Community Influences on Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting: A Comparison of Four Francophone West African Countries
Despite long‐term efforts to encourage abandonment of female genital mutilation/cutting (FGMC), the practice remains widespread globally. FGMC is situated in specific social and historical contexts, and both prevalence and rates of decline vary widely across practicing countries. However, cross‐national comparative research on the determinants of FGMC is sparse. This paper adds to the limited body of rigorous, theoretically grounded quantitative …
When leaving is normal and staying is novel: Men’s labor migration and women’s employment in rural Mozambique
Considerable cross-national research has examined the impact of international labor migration on livelihoods in sending households and communities. Although findings vary across contexts, the general underlying assumption of this research is that migration represents a novel income-generating alternative to local employment. While engaging with this assumption, we also argue that in many sending communities where labor migration has been going on…
Intimate Relationship Dynamics and Changing Desire for Pregnancy Among Young Women
Young women's pregnancy desire changes depending on their intimate relationship context, across the range of relationships they experience during the transition to adulthood
Adolescent Fertility Attitudes and Childbearing in Early Adulthood
Religiosity and Fertility in the United States: The Role of Fertility Intentions
Using data from the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG), we show that women who report that religion is "very important" in their everyday life have both higher fertility and higher intended fertility than those saying religion is "somewhat important" or "not important." Factors such as unwanted fertility, age at childbearing, or degree of fertility postponement seem not to contribute to religiosity differentials in fertility. This answe…
The evolution of fertility expectations over the life course
In low-fertility contexts, how many children people have is largely a product of how many children they want. However, the social, institutional, and individual factors that influence how many children people want are not well understood. In particular, there is scant evidence about how fertility expectations change over the life course. This article provides an empirical description of changes in women's expected fertility over the entire span o…
China's Below-Replacement Fertility: Recent Trends and Future Prospects
Between 1970 and 1990, China experiencoed a rapid and sharp fertility decline-from total fertility rates of approximately six births to two. The degree to which Chinese fertility has continued to fall after 1990 is controversial. We use survey data from the 1997 National Population and Reproductive Health Survey and from the 2001 Reproductive Health and Family Planning Survey to document recent trends in Chinese fertility. Our estimates provide f…
Pathways to Parenthood in Social and Family Contexts: Decade in Review, 2020

The quality of retrospective data on Cohabitation
We assess the quality of retrospective data on cohabitation by comparing data collected in four major U.S. family surveys: the National Survey of Families and Households and three rounds of the National Survey of Family Growth. We use event-history analysis to analyze rates of entry into cohabitation in age-period-cohort segments captured by multiple surveys. We find consistent discrepancies among the four surveys. The pattern of differences sugg…
Marriage (Still) Matters: The Contribution of Demographic Change to Trends in Childlessness in the United States
Childlessness in the United States nearly doubled between 1980 and 2000. Other dramatic changes in the U.S. population also took place over this period-notably, women's average educational attainment increased, and the proportion marrying declined-but the impact of these changes on childlessness has not been formally examined. In this article, I use data from the Current Population Survey Fertility Supplements (1995, 1998, 2004, 2008) and logisti…
The Decoupling of Marriage and Parenthood? Trends in the Timing of Marital First Births, 1945-2002
Family formation changed dramatically over the 20th century in the United States. The impact of these changes on childbearing has primarily been studied in terms of nonmarital fertility. However, changes in family formation behavior also have implications for fertility within marriage. The authors used data from 10 fertility surveys to describe changes in the timing of marital childbearing from the 1940s through the 21st century for non-Hispanic …

Fertility Following an Unintended First Birth
Research on unintended fertility tends to focus on births as isolated events. This article expands previous research by examining the relationship between early unintended childbearing and subsequent fertility dynamics in the United States. Data from the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth show that 27.5% of mothers report an unintended first birth. We use event history methods to show that these women are significantly more likely than women w…

Conformity and Change: Community Effects on Female Genital Cutting in Kenya
In this article, I analyze women's decisions to have their daughters circumcised based on data from 7,873 women in Kenya collected in the 1998 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey. I use multilevel models to assess the degree to which women's decisions are correlated with the decisions of other women in their community, in addition to studying the effects of socioeconomic characteristics measured at both the individual and community levels. I find…
Unintended fertility and the stability of coresidential relationships
Race-Ethnic Differences in Sexual Health Knowledge
Spacing, Stopping, or Postponing? Fertility Desires in a Sub-Saharan Setting
A growing body of research has argued that the traditional categories of stopping and spacing are insufficient to understand why individuals want to control fertility. In a series of articles, Timæus, Moultrie, and colleagues defined a third type of fertility motivation—postponement—that reflects a desire to avoid childbearing in the short term without clear goals for long-term fertility. Although postponement is fundamentally a description of fe…
Men's Migration, Women's Autonomy, and Union Dissolution in Rural Mozambique
Men's labor migration has been shown to affect marital stability in various contexts, but heterogeneity in the relationship between migration and marital outcomes is not well understood. This study employs longitudinal data from rural Mozambique, a rapidly changing setting with massive yet diverse male labor out-migration, to examine the associations between husband's migration and union dissolution. It analyzes variation in the likelihood of dis…
Understanding the Complexity of Ambivalence Toward Pregnancy: Does It Predict Inconsistent Use of Contraception
Ambivalence towards future pregnancy is common and may increase the risk of unprotected sex and unintended pregnancy. We propose that ambivalent attitudes toward pregnancy consist of subtypes that are differentially associated with contraceptive use. Using data from a nationally representative survey of unmarried young adults (N = 1,147), we constructed four categories of ambivalence based on attitudes toward a hypothetical pregnancy. Multivariat…
Now or Never: Perceived HIV Status and Fertility Intentions in Rural Mozambique
As the HIV epidemic evolves, researchers are devoting increased attention to the infection's effect on various life‐course activities, including marriage and reproduction. The impact of HIV on decisions about childbearing is particularly important, given the role that vertical transmission plays in the persistence of the epidemic. Previous studies on HIV and fertility intentions have yielded inconsistent results. This article expands on prior res…
Racial and Ethnic Variation in Unmarried Young Adults’ Motivation to Avoid Pregnancy
Differences in motivation to avoid pregnancy-particularly in predicted emotional responses to an unplanned pregnancy-should be further investigated as a potential factor in Hispanics' relatively high rates of unintended births. Future research should also examine connections between motivation to avoid pregnancy and reproductive behavior
Repeat Unintended, Unwanted and Seriously Mistimed Childbearing in the United States
Repeat unintended fertility is common, especially among black women, who may differ from other groups in their contraceptive and fertility decisions as well as in their access to and ability to afford family planning services

Intimate Relationship Dynamics and Changing Desire for Pregnancy Among Young Women
Young women's pregnancy desire changes depending on their intimate relationship context, across the range of relationships they experience during the transition to adulthood
From desires to behavior: Moderating factors in a fertility transition
BACKGROUND: Extensive research in both developed and developing countries has shown that preferences and intentions for future childbearing predict behavior. However, very little of this research has examined high-fertility contexts in sub-Saharan Africa. In particular, the factors that increase or decrease correspondence between fertility desires and behavior in these settings are not well understood. OBJECTIVE: This article documents the degree…
Fertility and the Stability of Cohabiting Unions: Variation by Intendedness
An extensive body of research demonstrates that children increase the stability of marriage, but it is unclear whether the same is true for cohabitation. Marital stability theories often assume fertility is intended, which is less likely to be the case for cohabiting births. Using the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth, we find that intended and disagreed-upon pregnancies (but not unintended pregnancies) reduce the risk of dissolution relative…
Black-White Differences in Pregnancy Desire During the Transition to Adulthood

Old Habits Die Hard? Lingering Son Preference in an Era of Normalizing Sex Ratios at Birth in South Korea
South Korea was among the first countries to report both an abnormally high sex ratio at birth (SRB) and its subsequent normalization. We examine the role of son preference in driving fertility intentions during a period of declining SRB and consider the contribution of individual characteristics and broader social context to explaining changes in intentions. We employ data from the National Survey on Fertility, Family Health and Welfare that spa…

The Transmission Probabilities of Founder Genes in Five Regional Populations of Quebec
Certaines maladies héréditaires rares ont une incidence anormalement élevée dans la population québécoise. Les gènes délétères associés à ces maladies ont été vraisemblablement introduits au XVIIe siècle par des immigrants dont les descendants sont les ancêtres d’une grande partie de la population contemporaine du Québec. L’objectif de cette étude est de mesurer la transmission différentielle des gènes de fondateurs qui sont à l’origine de cinq p…

A Person-Period Approach to Analysing Birth Histories
The reconstitution of birth histories - or maternity histories - is a widely used approach for collecting data on fertility in developing countries. Since the 1970s with the World Fertility Survey (WFS), and even more so since the mid-1980s with the program of Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS), birth histories have become an indispensable source of data for studying fertility levels, trends, and determinants. The principle is well-known: a sam…
Stable aggregate fertility in a time of family change: A decomposition of trends in American fertility, 1970-1999
Population-level birth rates in the United States were largely stable between 1970 and 1999. This stability contrasts with rapid change in marriage rates and fertility timing during the same period. In this article, I use decomposition techniques to analyze this seeming paradox. I decompose the general fertility rate into four components: age distribution, marital status, age-specific nonmarital fertility, and age-specific marital fertility. Abse…

Delayed Adulthood, Delayed Desistance? Trends in the Age Distribution of Problem Behaviors
As the transition to adulthood becomes more protracted and less orderly, fewer young people occupy adult roles and experience the social control associated with these roles. One might therefore expect behaviors associated with the teenage years to spill over into older age groups, reflecting postponed entrance into full social adulthood. We test this hypothesis by examining trends over time in the age distribution of crime, substance use, and vio…

Providers' Views Concerning Family Planning Service Delivery to HIV‐positive Women in Mozambique
This study explores challenges and obstacles in providing effective family planning services to HIV‐positive women as described by staff of maternal and child health (MCH) clinics. It draws upon data from a survey of service providers carried out from late 2008 to early 2009 in 52 MCH clinics in southern Mozambique, some with and some without HIV services. In all clinics, surveyed providers reported that practical, financial, and social barriers …
Age, relationship status, and the planning status of births
In the United States historically, births to older mothers have been more likely to be planned than births to younger mothers, and births to unmarried women have been less likely to be planned than births to married women. As the average age of mothers
Single Mothers, Single Fathers: Gender Differences in Fertility After a Nonmarital Birth
Research on nonmarital fertility has focused almost exclusively on unmarried mothers, due in part to a lack of fertility information for men. Cycle 6 of the National Survey of Family Growth allows exploration of nonmarital fertility for both genders.The authors compare the characteristics of unmarried first-time mothers ( n = 2,455) and fathers ( n = 797), use event history techniques to model second-birth hazards, and examine the distribution of…

Religious Differences in Female Genital Cutting: A Case Study from Burkina Faso
The relationship between religious obligations and female genital cutting is explored using data from Burkina Faso, a religiously and ethnically diverse country where approximately three-quarters of adult women are circumcised.
