- Summary:
-
The demographic characteristics of teenaged parents reveal a majority who are aged 18-21, live in poverty, have dropped out of school, and are unemployed and unmarried. Their potential for high school graduation is often dependent upon their support network and life course adaptation. Employment patterns of teen parents show high unemployment and sporadic history for both sides. Given the educational, social, economic, and employment histories common among teenaged parents, career development is a priority for helping this group make the transition from adolescence to economic independence. A number of psychosocial factors have been identified as affecting the education and training of teen parents. Development of life skills has been suggested to help teen parents overcome the ramifications of their disadvantaged backgrounds. Several projects have been initiated to help teenaged parents in their transition to adulthood and economic independence: the Public/Private Ventures' Young Unwed Fathers Pilot Project, The Comprehensive Career Development Project for Secondary Schools in Tennessee, and the Adolescent Family Life Demonstration Projects. Three factors which greatly influence the implementation of the Adolescent Family Life employability programs and important across the other projects are: appropriateness of the program to the targeted population, the community network and influence, and after-care or post-program follow-up. Contains 6 references. (YLB)
