随着20世纪最后25年非婚生子女和离婚的增加，越来越多的儿童面临各种新的家庭形式。很少有研究关注童年家庭结构对男子向父亲过渡的影响，也很少关注家庭结构对年轻男女首次成为未婚父母的可能性的影响，即我们现在所说的“脆弱家庭”。这些数据来自1979年全国青年纵向调查（NLSY 79）的儿童和青少年样本，这些样本提供了NLSY 79妇女从出生到进入成年的儿童信息。女性成长的单亲和男性经历了一个不稳定的家庭过渡到父母的早期，特别是非住宅的男性父亲。对男性来说，这种影响主要是由养育过程和青少年行为介导的，并受经济环境的影响。童年经历过多次转变的男性在婚姻中成为第一个孩子父亲的可能性降低，而在同居中成为父亲的可能性增加，这表明家庭结构的变化如何随着时间和世代的推移改变家庭结构模式。
With the rise in out-of-wedlock childbearing and divorce in the last quarter of the twentieth century, an increasing proportion of children have been exposed to a variety of new family forms. Little research has focused on the consequences of childhood family structure for men's transition to fatherhood or on the family processes that account for the effects of family structure on the likelihood that young women and men become first-time unmarried parents, what we now call "fragile families." The data come from the linked Children and Young Adult samples of the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY79), which provide information on the children of the women of the NLSY79 from birth until they enter young adulthood. Females growing up with a single parent and males experiencing an unstable family transition to parenthood early, particularly to nonresidential fatherhood for males. For males, the effects are strongly mediated by parenting processes and adolescent behaviors and are shaped by economic circumstances. Having experienced multiple transitions as a child is associated with a reduced likelihood that males father their first child within marriage and an increased likelihood that they become fathers within cohabitation, demonstrating how changes in family structure alter family structure patterns over time and generations.
