Cost of Teenage Childbearing: Current Trends (Research Brief)
|
|
Author(s): Gilbert Crouse and David Larson
|
|
Organization(s): Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation
|
This article discusses the cost of teenage childbearing as estimated by the Center for Population Options (CPO). The single-year cost for all families originating from a teen birth is estimated at approximately $25 billion in 1990, up from $16.6 billion in 1985. The rapid increase in expenditures related to adolescent childbearing is considered a function of increases in medical care costs, expansion in Medicaid eligibility, and a 30% increase in teen births from 1984 to 1989. Two-thirds of births to women age 19 and under were out-of-wedlock. White unmarried teenagers accounted for 72% of the increase in out-of-wedlock births during the 1980s. Medical costs rose generally during the period and additional costs are associated with low birth weight babies, who are more commonly born to teenage compared to older mothers. (It is noted that since a large percentage of teens who give birth are living in poverty, not all the costs attributed to teenage births by CPO would be eliminated if all teens postponed childbearing until age 20 or older. The savings would be about 40% of what is currently being expended.) (ASPE Research Notes, Volume 3) [5 PDF pages] |

Organization(s): Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation
|
This compendium is published by the Division of Children and Youth Policy within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation, of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It summarizes the results of the Division's research projects from 1986 through the present. The role of research within the Division is to produce information on the organization, financing, and delivery of services to children and youth, particularly among disadvantaged groups. Recent work includes studies of issues related to the children of participants in the JOBS program and to the expansion of Head Start. Special studies have focused on understanding the needs of drug exposed and HIV-positive children as well as those of homeless families with children. Among the studies currently underway are projects relating to children's mental health services, family preservation programs, and the educational needs of drug exposed children. In addition to research, the Division has recently also supported a series of grants to stimulate and support state and local community-based efforts to integrate health and human services for low-income families as a means of improving the access to and effectiveness of these services.
