Previous research has focused on teenage parenthood as a single outcome, and has overlooked the wider family formation trajectory in which it is situated. In this paper, using Swedish register data and sequence analysis tools, we explore the diversity in timing and ordering of childbearing and (re)partnering events among teenage parents. We identify trajectory clusters of traditional family patterns, modern family patterns, single parenthood and re-partnering patterns. We also examine the role of resources in the family of origin for the probability of following the different types of family formation trajectories among teenage parents. Where economic resources in the family of origin is related to the type of trajectory teenage fathers follow, family structure is of greater importance for teenage mothers. The family formation trajectories of teenage parents display substantial heterogeneity, which contradicts a view that a person who has a child early in life suddenly has their life's script written.
以往的研究将青少年生育作为单一结果，而忽略了其所处的更广泛的家庭形成轨迹。在本文中，我们利用瑞典登记数据和序列分析工具，探讨青少年父母生育和（重新）建立伴侣关系事件在时间和顺序上的多样性。我们识别出传统家庭模式、现代家庭模式、单亲家庭模式和重新建立伴侣关系模式的轨迹集群。我们还研究了原生家庭资源在青少年父母遵循不同类型家庭形成轨迹可能性方面的作用。原生家庭的经济资源与青少年父亲所遵循的轨迹类型有关，而家庭结构对青少年母亲更为重要。青少年父母的家庭形成轨迹显示出很大的异质性，这与那种认为早年生育孩子的人其人生剧本就突然被写好的观点相矛盾。
