With increases in nonmarital fertility, the sequencing of transitions in early adulthood has become even more complex. Once the primary transition out of the parental home, marriage was first replaced by nonfamily living and cohabitation; more recently, many young adults have become parents before entering a coresidential union. Studies of leaving home, however, have not examined the role of early parenthood. Using the Young Adult Study of the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth ( = 4,674), we use logistic regression to analyze parenthood both as a correlate of leaving home and as a route from the home. We find that even in mid-adolescence, becoming a parent is linked with leaving home. Coming from a more affluent family is linked with leaving home via routes that do not involve children rather than those that do, and having a warm relationship with either a mother or a father retards leaving home, particularly to nonfamily living, but is not related to parental routes out of the home.
随着非婚生育现象的增加，成年早期转变的先后顺序变得更加复杂。曾经，离开父母家后的主要转变是婚姻，如今先是被非家庭生活和同居所取代；最近，许多年轻人在进入同居关系之前就成为了父母。然而，关于离开家的研究尚未考察过早为人父母的作用。利用1979年全国青年纵向调查中的青年成人研究（样本量 = 4674），我们使用逻辑回归分析为人父母这一情况，既将其作为离开家的一个相关因素，也将其作为离开家的一种途径。我们发现，即使在青春期中期，为人父母也与离开家有关。来自更富裕家庭与通过不涉及孩子的途径离开家有关，而非通过涉及孩子的途径，与母亲或父亲关系融洽会延缓离开家，尤其是延缓到非家庭生活，但这与离开家成为父母的途径无关。
