“…Another set of JFEI studies focused on teen pregnancy. Cherry and Wang ( 2015 ) investigated how contextual characteristics at the state level were associated with teen birth rates from 2001 to 2009. Their work found that greater employment among female teenagers and men aged 20–24 was associated with higher teen birth rates, especially among disadvantaged youth.…”

Research on the family-health nexus cuts across disciplines, focuses on a broad range of issues, and is set against a backdrop marked by increasing diversity of family structures and households, aging families, and intensifying concerns about health and social inequalities. Over the last decade, a plethora of articles appearing in The Journal of Family and Economic Issues (JFEI) have examined the interplay between family and health. This article attempts to crystallize the primary contributions of this body of work. My discussion is organized around various thematic areas that emerged from the review: (a) childbearing, (b) children’s health, (c) relationships, (d) caregiving, and (e) the impact of health on household finances. I close by sketching out some useful areas for future research in the next decade.

“…There have been several policies that have been successful in reducing teenage fertility. Successful direct policies include Medicaid family planning waivers and access to long‐acting reversible contraceptives (Lindo & Packham, 2017; Yang & Gaydos, 2010), and successful indirect policies include graduated licenses, welfare reforms, and minimum wage increases (Bullinger, 2017; Cherry & Wang, 2015; Deza, 2019; Kearney & Levine, 2015; Lenhart, 2021; Lopoo & DeLeire, 2006). These policies, excluding graduated licenses, require significant costs to implement.…”

I examine the effect of city‐level juvenile curfews on teenage birth rates using the National Center for Health Statistics birth data from 1982 to 2002. I compare differences in birth rates between younger and older age groups in cities with and without curfew ordinances. Before curfew adoption, the age differential in birth rates trended similarly for cities that did and did not adopt a curfew. There were significant decreases in the age differential birth rates in cities that adopted a curfew relative to cities that did not. Curfews reduced birth rates by approximately 3 births per 1000 women ages 15–17. I find a decrease in birth rates among white women. The main results are corroborated using a variety of robustness checks and specifications.
