A decline in the likelihood that a nonmarital pregnancy results in marriage has contributed to the dramatic rise in the nonmarital birth ratio since the 1960.1 in the United States. This study examines the effect of men's characteristics on whether they marry in the event of a nonmarital pregnancy and whether changes in average characteristics and in the effect of men characteristics have contributed to the decline in the probability of legitimation. The results indicate that the characteristics associated with the probability of marriage differ for Whites and Blacks. Changes over time in men's behavior and in men's average characteristics appear to have lowered the probability or legitimation among while men, but changes in men's behavior appear to have lowered to the decline in legitimation among Black men.
