[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] You're thinking about this from the point of view of an UMC white woman. These are poor teenage girls (of all races) making the decision of whether or not to have kids. They aren't putting aside money for the future because their basics are covered or saving for college - what teen does that? They're trying to get as much free stuff as they can and of they have any extra, it's for clubbing/nails/hair. [b]They aren't realizing that while in the immediate future, they are getting more public assistance when they have more babies, it doesn't 'pay off' in the long run[/b].[/quote] Not having a baby also doesn't 'pay off' in the long run. A poor teenage girl who doesn't have a baby has the same bad economic outcome as a poor teenage girl who does. http://www.nber.org/papers/w17965[/quote]
