- Title
Teen time use and parental education: evidence from the CPS, MTF, and ATUS.

- Abstract
The article discusses the influence of parental education on the time use by teenagers in the U.S. Recent research based on data from the Current Population Survey (CPS) points to a secular decline in overall teen employment since the late 1970s, a decline that accelerated beginning in 2000. Academic research points to substantial differences in outcomes by adult educational attainment. For instance, less educated adults experience lower rates of employment and marriage and higher rates of single motherhood. Similarly, rates of teen nonmarital fertility are substantially higher in families with less educated parents. These pieces of evidence lead one to suspect considerable variation in teens' time use as a function of parental education.
