Abstract
- A study was conducted to investigate whether high rates of nonmarital births for 85 countries could be predicted by diminished prospects of paternal investment as measured by high male unemployment, low wealth, low sex ration, and high teen births. The results suggest that single childbearing can be seen either as a response to diminished prospects or diminished reliance on paternal investment.
