Correlates of Marital Status among African American Mothers in Chicago Neighborhoods of Concentrated Poverty.

Franklin, Donna L.; And Others

Journal of Marriage and the Family, v57 n1 p141-52 Feb 1995

Analyzing data from 1,033 African American mothers, results indicate that household income, time on Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), and number of children are the strongest predictor of nonmarriage. The conclusions support previous findings that never-married mothers suffer more economic hardship than formerly married mothers. (JPS)
