本文考察了未婚母亲在非婚生育后再婚模式的流行程度、预测因素和结果。结果表明，在孩子出生后的五年内，大约三分之二的未婚母亲结束了与孩子生父的关系，其中一半以上的母亲开始了新的伴侣关系。在再婚的母亲中，60%的母亲与经济能力比前伴侣高的男性结婚，20%的母亲与经济能力相似的男性结婚，20%的母亲与经济能力不如前伴侣的男性结婚。这种模式适用于非住宅和共同居住的工会。我们的研究结果与婚姻市场、学习和进化生物学有关婚姻形成的理论相一致，并为未婚母亲对新伴侣有很高的标准提供了定性证据。虽然许多母亲能够成功地找到经济能力更好的新伴侣，但许多其他母亲仍然没有伴侣，这可能（至少部分）是由于经济能力相对较高的潜在伴侣数量有限。
This paper examines the prevalence, predictors and outcomes of unmarried mothers’ repartnering patterns following a nonmarital birth. Results indicate that, within five years after a birth, approximately two-thirds of unmarried mothers ended their relationship with the focal child’s biological father, and over half of these mothers entered new partnerships. Among those who repartnered, 60 percent of mothers formed unions with men with higher economic capabilities than their former partners, 20 percent formed unions with men with similar capabilities, and 20 percent formed unions with men with lower capabilities. This pattern holds for both nonresidential and coresidential unions. Our findings are consistent with marriage market, learning, and evolutionary biology theories about union formation, and they provide support for qualitative evidence that unmarried mothers have high standards for new partners. While many mothers are able to successfully find new partners with better economic capabilities, many other mothers remain unpartnered, likely due (at least in part) to the limited pool of potential partners with relatively high levels of economic capabilities.
