Teen-Age Family Formation in a Rural County.
Mangold, William D.
Youth and Society, v10 n3 p257-73 Mar 1979
Two aspects of teenage fertility are examined in this paper: (1) teenage fertility, in general, does not follow the conventional family formation process in which conception follows marriage; and (2) there are considerable differences between White and non-White teenagers in proportions either pregnant outside of marriage or single at delivery.
