I analyze the prevalence of single motherhood among black and non-Hispanic white women in terms of differences in entry and exit. Higher initial entry rates among black women, especially through unpartnered childbearing, account for slightly more than half the difference between blacks and whites in the prevalence of single motherhood. The remainder of the difference is due to black single mothers' much lower rates of exit through union formation and to their very high rates of reentry through dissolution of these later unions. Entry and exit rates through the 1990s imply a widening racial gap.
我从进入和退出的差异方面分析了黑人女性与非西班牙裔白人女性中单身母亲的比例。黑人女性较高的初始进入率，尤其是通过非婚生育的方式，在单身母亲比例方面，黑人与白人之间的差异中占比略超过一半。其余的差异是由于黑人单身母亲通过组建伴侣关系退出的比例低得多，以及她们通过这些后来的伴侣关系解体而重新进入单身状态的比例非常高。20世纪90年代的进入和退出率意味着种族差距在扩大。
