Early Parenthood and Educational Outcomes. Are There Differences Between Young Teenage Mothers and Fathers?
利用智利人口数据，通过兄弟姐妹固定效应模型比较青少年母亲和父亲的教育成果，发现早期生育对教育有负面影响，且对母亲和弱势群体影响更大。
ABSTRACT A broad literature has established the negative effects of teen motherhood on educational outcomes. Yet relatively little is known about the educational effects of becoming a teen father. Using siblings fixed effects on population‐level data from Chile I compare educational outcomes of young teen‐mothers and teen‐fathers and provide new evidence on potential heterogeneous effects. My results show early parenthood has a negative association with most educational outcomes, with worse effects for young teen‐mothers than for teen‐fathers and for individuals from disadvantaged socio‐economic backgrounds. I conclude that appropriate support could help to reduce gender inequalities in the effects of early parenthood.
