Abstract: | Research in many countries has confirmed has confirmed that teenage mothers and their families are often at a disadvantage compared with those whose children are born in their 20s or 30s. This paper analyses the current positions of women whose first child was born when they were teenagers across 13 countries in the European Union, based upon the European Community Household Panel Survey. Outcomes considered are mother's employment, family employment, family structure, and household income. The severity of disadvanrage on outcome measures varied substantially by country. The findings also enable to consider the theoretical value of attempts to classify countries according to the nature of their family formation norms. |
