Early Motherhood in an Intergenerational Perspective: The Experiences of a British Cohort.

Manlove, Jennifer

Journal of Marriage and the Family, v59 n2 p263-79 May 1997

Uses nationally representative, longitudinal data from Great Britain to examine the fertility patterns of daughters (N=2,183) of teen mothers. Explores how early motherhood is reproduced across generations, including an earlier inherited age of menarche, poor family and educational environments, and an early ideal age of childbearing.
