在美国，拉美裔青少年生育率的下降速度比其他族裔/种族群体要慢。有限的研究探讨了社会经济机会如何影响拉丁裔青少年的生育。我们对加州两个县的65名怀孕的外国和美国出生的拉丁裔妇女（31名青少年，34名成年人）进行了深入的访谈。我们评估了感知到的社会经济机会，并研究了家庭、移民和文化适应如何影响社会经济机会与青少年生育之间的关系。与推迟生育到成年的妇女相比，怀孕的少女描述说，她们在教育和职业发展方面的资源很少，在实现她们的目标方面遇到了许多社会经济和社会障碍。社会经济不稳定和限制受教育机会的政策影响了移民青少年的生育。相比之下，与贫困相关的家庭解体在美国出生的青少年生育中占有突出地位。有限的社会经济机会可能在拉丁裔青少年持续高怀孕率中发挥重要作用。
The decrease in adolescent birth rates in the United States has been slower among Latinas than among other ethnic/racial groups. Limited research has explored how socioeconomic opportunities influence childbearing among Latina adolescents. We conducted in-depth interviews with 65 pregnant foreign- and U.S.-born Latina women (31 adolescents; 34 adults) in two California counties. We assessed perceived socioeconomic opportunities and examined how family, immigration and acculturation affected the relationships between socioeconomic opportunities and adolescent childbearing. Compared with women who delayed childbearing into adulthood, pregnant adolescents described having few resources for educational and career development and experiencing numerous socioeconomic and social barriers to achieving their goals. Socioeconomic instability and policies limiting access to education influenced childbearing for immigrant adolescents. In contrast, family disintegration tied to poverty figured prominently in U.S.-born adolescents’ childbearing. Limited socioeconomic opportunities may play a large role in persistently high pregnancy rates among Latina adolescents.
