Adolescent Parenthood and the Transition to Adulthood

This chapter considers the psychosocial consequences of becoming a parent across the adolescent decade within contemporary society. This chapter focuses on issues of timing of the advent of parenthood within the course of life the sequence of this transition to parenthood in terms of other expectable adult role changes and the interplay of social timing sequence and motivational factors in the experience of this transition particularly among young women of color living within circumstances characterized by economic privation and social disorganization. This discussion is founded on the concept of a social timetable that places particular individual attainments across the course of life within the context of socially defined entrances and exits from particular roles.
