The Effects of EITC Exposure in Childhood on Marriage and Early Childbearing

Record Description
This report from the Center for Policy Research at Syracuse University’s Maxwell School reviews the implications of childhood exposure to the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) on marriage and childbearing. In particular, the researchers examine whether EITC has intergenerational benefits by affecting the family formation decisions of men and women exposed to EITC in childhood. The research suggests that EITC investment in youth delays for women the timing of first births.

Researchers sought to understand the size and composition of family and friendship groups, the type of support provided, and organizations where fathers receive services.

Family Stability and Instability among Low-Income Hispanic Mothers With Young Children

Record Description
This resource, from the National Research Center on Hispanic Children and Families, reviews trends related to family structure for low-income Hispanic mothers in urban areas using the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study. The data show differences in family life stability, psychosocial risk, parenting stress, co-parenting relationships, and support across foreign-born and U.S.-born Hispanics. Authors conclude that strengths and risks vary based on mothers’ nativity, which should be considered when developing interventions or programs.

The Millennial Success Sequence: Marriage, Kids, and the “Success Sequence” among Young Adults

Record Description
Young adults are more likely to avoid poverty if they follow a “success sequence” in this order: earning at least a high school diploma, working full-time, and getting married before having children. This report from the American Enterprise Institute and the Institute for Family Studies examines whether millennials are following this success sequence. The researchers found that 95% of millennials who married first before having children were not poor, but 72% of millennials who had children before marrying were poor. Millennials were also more likely to make it into the middle or higher end of the income distribution by age 28-34 if they married before having children.

Research Shows Importance of “Success Sequence"

Record Description
Young adults are more likely to avoid poverty if they follow a “success sequence” in this order: earning at least a high school diploma, working full-time, and getting married before having children. This blog post from the Administration for Children and Families describes a recent report from the American Enterprise Institute and the Institute for Family Studies about millennials following this success sequence. The researchers found that 95% of millennials who married first before having children were not poor, but 72% of millennials who had children before marrying were poor. Millennials were also more likely to make it into the middle or higher end of the income distribution by age 28-34 if they married before having children. The blog post also describes ACF programs that can prevent out-of-wedlock pregnancy and promote healthy marriages.
