- Estimating the effects of teen motherhood in Chile: a family fixed effects approach Matías Berthelon Diana I. Kruger Juan P. Eberhard Economía y Finanzas JEL Chile education labor market teen pregnancy We study the effect of adolescent motherhood on education and labor outcomes among 20-24 year old women in Chile. We identify causal effects of motherhood with family fixed effects using a large data set covering the 1990-2011 period. Teen motherhood has negative effects on education and labor outcomes, and timing of motherhood matters: teen births reduce education outcomes, while young motherhood reduces labor force participation. Labor outcome effects are present among the non-poor, and effects changed between 1990 and 2011. Results highlight the important role of adolescent motherhood in women’s human capital accumulation and income inequality. 2017 artículo científico 0304-2758 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=22152910001 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=221 Estudios de Economía application/pdf Universidad de Chile Estudios de Economía (Chile) Num.1 Vol.44
