Little is known about the influence of relationship characteristics on a woman's desire for a baby with her partner. This study addresses that gap, using data from a study of 1,114 low-income women in the southeast who were in a relationship. Controlling for sociodemographic factors, women who were in more established relationships, who had not had a previous child with their partner, or who had higher expectations of their partner were generally more likely to want a baby with him. In investigating women's childbearing desires, it is important to consider not only individual characteristics but also women's relationship characteristics.
关于关系特征对女性与伴侣生育意愿的影响，我们知之甚少。本研究利用对东南部1114名处于恋爱关系中的低收入女性的研究数据，填补了这一空白。在控制社会人口学因素后，处于更稳定恋爱关系、之前未与伴侣育有子女或对伴侣期望更高的女性，通常更有可能希望与伴侣生育孩子。在调查女性的生育意愿时，不仅要考虑个体特征，还要考虑女性的关系特征，这一点很重要。
