Cohabitation is an integral part of family research; however, little work
examines cohabitation among teenagers or links between cohabitation and teenage
childbearing. Drawing on the National Survey of Family Growth (2006-10), we
examine family formation activities (i.e., cohabitation, marriage, and
childbearing) of 3,945 15-19 year old women from the mid 1990s through 2010.
One-third (34%) of teenagers cohabit, marry, or have a child. Teenage
cohabitation and marriage are both positively associated with higher odds of
having a child. The vast majority of single pregnant teenagers do not form a
union before the birth of their child; only 22% cohabit and 5% marry. Yet most
single pregnant teenagers eventually cohabit, 59% did so by the child's third
birthday and about 9% marry. Cohabitation is an important part of the landscape
of the adolescent years, and many teenage mothers described as "single mothers"
are actually in cohabiting relationships.
