Abstract

The article focuses on the consequences of early childbearing. Early childbearers were not the most advantaged or motivated young women but, even controlling for past aptitude, goals, and grades, an early birth was an additional hurdle. Early findings indicated that babies of young mothers are harmed less by the young age of the mother than by the social concomitants of early childbearing. Studies showed that with high quality care, birthweight outcomes were no worse than for older women.
