Abstract

Objective: To assess the impact of age 15 fertility intentions on childbearing outcomes three decades later.

Background: Evidence is mixed about the implications of teenage fertility intentions on later childbearing. Taking a prospective life course approach to assessing intentions and outcomes may help clarify these mixed findings.

Method: A general population birth cohort (born 1972/73) was asked about their fertility intentions at age 15 and 775 of this sample (384 women, 391 men) provided data on their childbearing between ages 15 and 45.

Results: At age 15, almost all of the sample indicated they would like to have children in the future (93%). Most (79%) reported having had a biological child by they time they were 45; but those who professed to not wanting children as teenagers were significantly less likely to have had a child three decades later.

Conclusion: Fertility intentions during adolescence are probably influenced by social, political and economic norms and may influence later childbearing decisions. This may be particularly true for those whose intentions counter established norms around childbearing.

Implications: A life course framework is useful for examining the relationship between hypothetical fertility intentions and outcomes.

新西兰青少年生育意向对生育的影响

评估15岁生育意愿对30年后生育结果的影响。关于青少年生育意愿对以后生育的影响，证据喜忧参半。采用前瞻性的生命历程方法来评估意图和结果可能有助于澄清这些混杂的发现。一个普通人口出生队列（1972/73年出生）被问及他们在15岁时的生育意愿，其中775名样本（384名女性，391名男性）提供了他们在15至45岁之间生育的数据。在15岁的时候，几乎所有样本都表示他们将来想生孩子（93%）。大多数人（79%）报告说，他们在45岁时已经有了亲生孩子；但那些声称在青少年时期不想要孩子的人，在三十年后生孩子的可能性要小得多。青春期的生育意愿可能受到社会、政治和经济规范的影响，并可能影响以后的生育决定。对于那些意图违背既定生育规范的人来说，情况可能尤其如此。生命历程框架有助于研究假设生育意愿与结果之间的关系。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
