Results of the meta-regression showing the associations of the macro-indicators with the effect of parental SES on the probability of experiencing a conception while single (column 2) and of starting a union during pregnancy (column 3)
| Parental SES on conception while single | Parental SES on starting a union during pregnancy | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Modern contraceptive use | − .07 (.03)* | .03 (.02) | ||
| Abortion rate | .01 (.03) | .01 (.02) | ||
| Adolescent abortion rate | − .06 (.03)* | .00 (.02) | ||
| Less conservative marriage norms | − .01 (.03) | .05 (.02)* | ||
| Less conservative single mother norms | .03 (.03) | − .01 (.02) | ||
| Economic inequality | .01 (.03) | − .02 (.02) | ||
The effect of parental SES is expressed in semielasticity, providing information on the % change in the dependent variables, given a 1-unit increase in parental SES. Parental SES and the macro-indicators are expressed in z-scores
***p < .001; ** p < .01; *p < .05
