欧美女性非婚生育现象研究评介及启示

Review of Nonmarital Childbearing Research in Europe and the United States

非婚生育是指发生在法定婚姻之外的生育行为。经济及非经济因素共同导致欧美非婚生育在黑人妇女和没有大学文凭的妇女中增加更多;与低收入未婚母亲相比,中产未婚母亲多提前为非婚生育构建了适当支持系统;非婚生育对未婚母亲及儿童福祉可能具有不利影响。鉴于我国学界对日趋普遍之非婚生育现象的重大忽视,希望通过回顾欧美研究成果,促进我国本土研究意识及进展。

Having children outside the statutory marriage is called nonmarital childbearing.Economic and noneconomic factors result in the fact western illegitimate rises far more rapidly among the black and the less educated women.Compared with the low income unwed mothers,many middle-class unwed mothers construct the suitable support program ahead of time for their illegitimate.Nonmarital childbearing may have adverse effects on the well-being of unmarried mothers and illegitimate children.Chinese research on the phenomenon of illegitimate is almost in a blank.I hope this review can promote local studies in China.
