| Annotation | Childhood poverty and early parenthood are both high on the political agenda. The key new issue addressed in this research is to try to disentangle the relative importance of childhood poverty and of early motherhood as correlates of outcomes in later life. The data used for this study is from the National Child Development Study (NCDS), a longitudinal study of those born in the first week of March 1958, for whom a great deal of information was collected during childhood at ages 0, 7, 11, and 16, and on experiences in adulthood at ages 23 and 33. Results suggest that early parenthood for young women is likely to have more direct implications for lack of opportunity and choice than for young men. (RH). |
