Unintended Births Highest Among Single Mothers 

 

Intendedness of births varies by the union status of mothers. Births to married mothers are most likely to be reported as wanted (76%) compared with births to cohabiting (49%) and single mothers (30%).

  • Seriously mistimed births are more prevalent among unmarried mothers with 21% of births to cohabiting and 34% of births to single women versus 6% among married mothers.
  • Unwanted births are less common, ranging from 8% among married mothers to 28% among single mothers.
