我们评估社区规范,照顾者的信念,以及青少年自己的信念和看法,专注于早婚,预测青少年的婚姻愿望在低收入的背景下。在低收入环境中,特别是在撒哈拉以南非洲,促成青少年婚姻愿望形成的过程很少受到关注。了解婚姻愿望是如何形成的很重要,因为它们与关键的教育和健康结果有关。使用马拉维青少年(N= 2,089)与其照顾者(N= 1,452)之间的数据,我们分析了性别分层有序logistic回归模型,以检查关键关系。我们发现,社区规范的最低可接受的结婚年龄预测时,男孩想结婚,但没有找到确凿的证据表明,他们预测时,女孩想结婚。我们还发现,认为早婚是可以接受的青少年更有可能想早婚。社区规范和青少年自己的信仰对他们的婚姻愿望的形成至关重要。我们建议在设计童婚干预措施和衡量其影响时,将青少年的信仰和看法纳入计划。我们还建议对社区规范进行理论驱动的测量,以更好地评估其对婚姻愿望和结婚年龄的影响。
We evaluate whether community norms, caregiver beliefs, and adolescents’ own beliefs and perceptions, focused on early marriage, predict adolescent marriage aspirations in a low-income context. The processes that contribute to adolescent marriage aspiration formation have received little attention in low-income contexts, particularly sub-Saharan Africa. Understanding how marriage aspirations are formed is important because they are associated with critical education and health outcomes. Using data that links Malawian adolescents (N=2,089) with their caregivers (N=1,452), we analyze gender stratified ordered logistic regression models to examine key relationships. We show that community norms for youngest acceptable marriage age predict when boys want to marry, but do not find conclusive evidence that they predict when girls want to marry. We also show that adolescents who believe it is acceptable to marry at an early age are more likely to want to marry early themselves. Both community norms and adolescents’ own beliefs are central to the formation of their marriage aspirations. We recommend that programs incorporate adolescent beliefs and perceptions when designing child marriage interventions and measuring their impact. We also recommend theory-driven measurement of community norms to better evaluate their impact on both marriage aspirations and marriage age.
