The Association Between Grandparental Coresidence and Adolescent Childbearing

Johns Hopkins University

MARY L. WASHINGTON

Johns Hopkins University

The topic of this article is the association between grandparental coresidence with adolescent women and early childbearing. The conceptual model is based on that used in social demographic studies of the effect of family structure on children and is expanded to include the presence of extended kin in the household. Grandparental coresidence is associated with a delay of first birth beyond the teenage years among young women from two-parent and stepparent families as well as among those who live with neither birth parent. Grandparental coresidence has no association with early childbearing—positive or negative—among young women from single-parent families.
