The changing context of teen‐age childbearing and current related controversies are reviewed. Recent research about the consequences of teen‐age childbearing for the teen‐age mother, the father, and for the children born is examined. The article also summarizes current knowledge about the consequences of teen‐age childbearing with regard to the mother's educational attainment, marital experience, subsequent fertility behavior, labor force experience and occupational attainment, and experience with poverty and welfare.
