The goal of this research is to enhance our understanding of the conditions under which women have children at an early age, the conditions under which women delay having children, and conditions that may enhance or inhibit a woman's ability to access opportunities for education and employment. Data will be gathered from an American Indian population and will provide important additions to existing knowledge about human behavior and reproduction. There are three specific research objectives: 1) to identify the social, economic, and health factors that facilitate reproduction for the study population; 2) to construct a data set of women's life histories and develop a model of the relationship between the timing of reproduction, the availability of education and employment opportunities, and the availability of physiological, social, and economic resources necessary for successful childrearing; and 3) test hypotheses about the timing of reproduction over a woman's life course. This research explores an option for reproduction among poor women which coordinates limited but early reproduction supported by family networks and later acquisition of education and employment opportunities.

这项研究的目的是加强我们对妇女在幼年时生育子女的条件、妇女推迟生育子女的条件以及可能增强或抑制妇女获得机会的条件的了解。 教育和就业。数据将从美洲印第安人群体中收集，并将为现有的人类行为和生殖知识提供重要的补充。 具体的研究目标有三：1）确定促进研究人群生育的社会、经济和健康因素; 2）建立妇女生活史数据集，并建立生育时间、教育和就业机会的提供以及生理、社会、和成功抚养子女所需的经济资源;和3）测试 关于女性一生中生殖时间的假设。 这项研究探讨了贫穷妇女生育的一种选择，即协调家庭网络支持的有限但早期的生育以及后来获得教育和就业机会。
