本文回顾了过去十年的研究模式，趋势和差异的途径，父母。人们是否以及在什么情况下成为父母，对个人身份、家庭关系、成人和儿童的福祉以及人口增长和年龄结构都有影响。了解影响生育途径的因素是家庭研究的核心，可以为旨在改变生育行为的政策提供信息。这篇综述总结了生育率的最新趋势以及对生育的预测因素和相关因素的研究，重点是美国和与家庭学者最相关的研究。我们记录生育差异和各亚组之间的变化的普遍解释，并讨论了替代途径，如收养。本文提出了未来研究的途径，概述了新兴的理论发展，并与生育政策的讨论结束。近年来，美国生育率有所下降;生育率是否会上升尚不清楚。大衰退和经济不平等加剧等更广泛的社会背景因素影响了为人父母的途径，社会各阶层的行为差异越来越大。生育的学者已经发展了理论，以更好地理解生育是如何形成的生命过程和社会背景。未来关于为人父母途径的研究应该继续研究群体差异，完善测量和理论，更好地整合男性和夫妇。生育研究与社会政策相关，但意识形态因素影响研究在政策中的应用。
This article reviews research from the past decade on patterns, trends, and differentials in the pathway to parenthood. Whether, and under what circumstances, people become parents has implications for individual identity, family relationships, the well-being of adults and children, and population growth and age structure. Understanding the factors that influence pathways to parenthood is central to the study of families and can inform policies aimed at changing childbearing behaviors. This review summarizes recent trends in fertility as well as research on the predictors and correlates of childbearing, with a focus on the United States and on research most relevant to family scholars. We document fertility differentials and prevailing explanations for variation across sub-groups and discuss alternative pathways to parenthood, such as adoption. The article suggests avenues for future research, outlines emerging theoretical developments, and concludes with a discussion of fertility policy. U.S. fertility has declined in recent years; whether fertility rates will increase is unclear. Elements of the broader social context such as the Great Recession and increasing economic inequality have impacted pathways to parenthood, and there is growing divergence in behaviors across social class. Scholars of childbearing have developed theories to better understand how childbearing is shaped by life course processes and social context. Future research on the pathways to parenthood should continue to study group differentials, refine measurement and theories, and better integrate men and couples. Childbearing research is relevant for social policy, but ideological factors impact the application of research to policy.
