我们记录了非婚生育与随后在美国第一次结婚的可能性之间的负相关关系，控制了各种潜在的混杂影响。非婚生育似乎并不是由对未来婚姻的低期望推动的。相反，这往往是一种意想不到和不受欢迎的事件，其对妇女随后第一次结婚的可能性和领取福利的妇女随后结婚的可能性特别低，尽管没有证据表明接受AFDC的人对婚姻的期望较低。此外，我们没有发现与非婚生育相关的耻辱在这一过程中发挥重要作用的证据，也没有证据表明子女的需求显著减少了未婚母亲参加婚姻市场活动的时间。
We document a negative association between nonmarital childbearing and the subsequent likelihood of first marriage in the United States, controlling for a variety of potentially confounding influences. Nonmarital childbearing does not appear to be driven by low expectations of future marriage. Rather, it tends to be an unexpected and unwanted event, whose effects on a woman's subsequent likelihood of first marriage and who receive welfare have a particularly low probability of marrying subsequently, although there is no evidence that AFDC recipients have lower expectations of marriage. In addition, we find no evidence that stigma associated with nonmarital childbearing plays an important role in this process or that the demands of children significantly reduce unmarried mothers' time for marriage market activities.
