Analyses based on a sample of 2,795 women interviewed annually from 1979 through 1991 in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth show that early childbearing lowers the educational attainment of young women. After controls for an extensive set of personal and community characteristics are taken into account, having a child before age 20 significantly reduces schooling attained by almost three years among whites, blacks and Hispanics. Having a child before age 18 has a significant effect only among blacks, reducing years of schooling by 1.2 years.
基于1979年至1991年每年对2795名女性进行访谈的全国青年纵向调查样本的分析表明，早育会降低年轻女性的教育程度。在考虑了一系列广泛的个人和社区特征后，20岁之前生育孩子会使白人、黑人和西班牙裔女性的受教育年限显著减少近三年。18岁之前生育孩子仅对黑人有显著影响，会使受教育年限减少1.2年。
