Trent, Katherine; Harlan, Sharon L.

Journal of Family Issues, v15 n2 p309-37 Jun 1994

Investigated household arrangements of adolescent mothers. Data from 1980 U.S. Census showed that arrangements varied by marital status, race/ethnicity, age, number of children, and central city residence. Found differences by race/ethnicity in how other variables related to household arrangements. Household arrangements were related to school enrollment, labor force participation, poverty status, and receiving public assistance. (Author/NB)
