Since the 1970s, a number of changes have dramatically altered the context in which youth and adults become parents. The proposed study addresses the implications of these changes for the transition to biological parenthood among U.S. adolescents and adults, with a particular focus on early fatherhood and its circumstances. Toward this end, we plan on answering these questions: How do social policies, in addition to economic and family-demographic factors, influence the timing and circumstances of biological parenthood? What influence do these factors have on behaviors that condition the timing and circumstances of biological parenthood, specifically, union formation, sexual behavior, and reproductive behavior? How does the influence of different factors on biological parenthood differ by historical period, race, and socioeconomic status? To answer these questions, we will use data from several nationally representative surveys. We also plan to utilize a data set to be developed by the P01 core that will include economic, family-demographic, and policy variables at the state, county, and neighborhood levels for the years during which sample members are at risk of becoming a parent. Our models will estimate the effects of variables measured at several levels on the risk of becoming a parent.

自 20 世纪 70 年代以来，一系列变化极大地改变了青少年和成年人成为父母的环境。拟议的研究探讨了这些变化对美国青少年和成年人向亲生父母过渡的影响，特别关注早期父亲及其环境。为此，我们计划回答以下问题：除了经济和家庭人口因素之外，社会政策如何影响亲生父母的时间和环境？这些因素对决定亲生父母的时间和环境的行为，特别是婚姻的形成、性行为和生殖行为有什么影响？不同因素对亲生父母的影响因历史时期、种族和文化的不同而不同 社会经济地位？为了回答这些问题，我们将使用来自几项全国代表性调查的数据。我们还计划利用 P01 核心开发的数据集，其中包括样本成员有成为父母风险的年份的州、县和社区级别的经济、家庭人口和政策变量。我们的模型将估计在多个层面测量的变量对成为父母的风险的影响。
