[Prague's study of illegitimate children, part 2. Changes in mothers' family status]
Abstract:
The authors examine changes in the status of 327 single mothers in Czechoslovakia as part of a long-term study on the development of children born to unmarried parents. "There prevails the tendency to conclude marriage with [the] father or at least to live in a permanent union with another man. The number of single [mothers] remains rather low and the tendency towards creating matrimonial families thus predominates." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND RUS)
