Longitudinal data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics for a sample of 2,794 women observed between 1968 and 1993 are used to examine whether the impact of established sociodemographic determinants of the risk of a first premarital birth has changed over time or varies by age. Even history analyses reveal that the risk of a premarital birth is greater for Black women and Latinas t!:al1 for White women and non-Latinas, that it declines with, the socioeconomic status of the family of origin, is greater for women growing up in a mother-only family, increases with neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage. and is higher in metropolitan areas and in areas outside the South. Over time, the racial difference in the risk of a first premarital birth has declined. a trend that cannot be attributed to changing , racial differentials in family background characteristics or geographic location. in contrast, the difference in premarital childbearing risks between Latinas and non-Latinas has widened. The 1m'erst impact of childhood family income on women 's risk of a premarital birth weakens significantly as women age.
