最近的婚姻和生育趋势增加了有一个以上伴侣的成年人的子女数量，我们称这种现象为多伴侣生育。本文使用来自脆弱家庭和儿童福利研究的数据，研究了最近出生队列（N = 4，300）的城市父母中多伴侣生育的患病率和相关性。我们发现，未婚父母比已婚父母更有可能与以前的伴侣生孩子。此外，种族/族裔与多伴侣生育率密切相关，母亲初次生育时的年龄和父亲的监禁史也是如此。由于跨家庭抚养子女减少了父母的资源，多伴侣生育对儿童的福祉具有重要影响。
Recent trends in marriage and fertility have increased the number of adults having children by more than 1 partner, a phenomenon that we refer to as multipartnered fertility. This article uses data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study to examine the prevalence and correlates of multipartnered fertility among urban parents of a recent birth cohort (N = 4,300). We find that unmarried parents are much more likely to have had a child by a previous partner than married parents. Also, race/ethnicity is strongly associated with multipartnered fertility, as is mothers' young age at first birth, and fathers' history of incarceration. To the extent that childrearing across households diminishes parental resources, multipartnered fertility has important consequences for children's well-being.
