May 2008 online edition
The May 2008 online edition of Perspectives on Labour and Income, released today, features two articles.
"Life after teenage motherhood" looks at women 30 to 39 years of age to determine whether teenage childbearing is related to long-term socioeconomic characteristics, notably educational attainment, labour force participation and living in low income.
"Low-income children" examines the absence of change between 1989 and 2004 in the proportion of children under 18 years of age living in a low-income family, despite a strong economy since the 1990 to 1992 recession.
The May 2008 online edition of Perspectives on Labour and Income, Vol. 9, no. 5 (75-001-XWE, free), is now available from the Publications module of our website.
