About this listen
In "How Sexism in Institutions and Everyday Interactions Shapes Early Childbearing", Jessica Houston Su and Kelly Musick explore how structural and interactional sexism influence early childbearing, particularly among young women. Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, they examine how institutional sexism—measured through economic, cultural, and reproductive health factors at state and county levels—and peer-driven interactional sexism impact adolescent women’s likelihood of early childbearing. Their findings reveal that institutional sexism is a key predictor for early childbearing among Black adolescents, while peer-based interactional sexism influences early childbearing across groups, underscoring how systemic and social inequalities shape family outcomes.
