Adolescent Mothers' Perceptions of their Work Lives in the Future

Are They Stable?

Lynn M. Blinn

University of Tennessee, Knoxville

Adolescent parents 'decisions about work are related to other critical life decisions about marriage, education, economic self-sufficiency, and interpersonal relationships. Such decisions may be based on a particular view of what life will be like in the future. This study explored how 179 adolescents who were mothers and 214 adolescents who were not mothers changed in their perceptions of their workfutures over a three-month period of time. The mothers assessed the likelihood of particular events occurring in their work lives at the fourth month and again at the seventh month after the delivery of their babies. Both the dimensionality and perceived likelihood of events occurring in their future work lives remained more stable for the parents than for the nonparents.
