More babies bom to unwed parents
T he A ssociated P ress
The portion ofbabies bom to unwed parents has increased
fivefold since the 1930s, according to a new Census report
that documents the trend.
Politicians and policy makers alike worry about children
bom to unmarried parents, who are more likely to be poor
and face other socioeconomic problems.
The report, being released today, looks at the first births
to women ages 15 to 29.
It found that in 1990-94,41 percent of these births were
out-of-wedlock. That’s a five-fold increase since 1930-34,
when just 8 percent o f these babies were bom to unmarried
parents.
The report also looks at marriages after a baby is conceived
- but before it is bom.
Until the 1960s, about 50 percent to 60 percent o f couples
married after discovering the woman was pregnant. But
that dropped to 29 percent in the early 1980s.
The report noted that, during the intervening years, women
were more likely to be educated and abortion laws were
relaxed.
‘ ’Declines in the propensity to marry to avoid an out-of-
wedlock birth by this generation o f women may also reflect
the questionable stability o f a forced marriage, especially
if the father o f the child may not be able to maintain the
family after marriage,” the report says.
The report’s analysis ends in 1994. But in recent years, the
out-of-wedlock birth rate hasn’t changed much. About
one in three o f all babies bom to unwed mothers, including
mothers o f all ages.
The overall rate peaked in 1994 at 32.6 percent and has
been relatively stable since, after climbing dramatically
through the late 1980s and early ’90s.
