摘要：Fourth and finally, Christine Percheski and Rachel Kimbro focus on how economic conditions are linked to fertility patterns by considering how the Great Recession affected pregnancy for four groups of women – married adults, cohabiting adults, unpartnered adults, and teenagers. Their research sheds light on how economic circumstances and social factors interact to affect family outcomes, highlighting the fact that different economic indicators (unemployment and mortgage foreclosure inventories) are not uniformly related to childbearing across different contexts (or by race and education).
