Adolescent Mothers Drop Out.
Anderson, Douglas K.
American Sociological Review, v58 n5 p735-38 Oct 1993
Comments on "The Timing of a First Birth and High School Completion" (Dawn M. Upchurch and James McCarthy) (1990). In considering relationships between adolescent childbearing and completion of high school, Upchurch and McCarthy misinterpret socioeconomic data. Their conclusion that young mothers are no less likely to graduate from high school is not supported by their analysis. (SLD)
