Transcript of plenary by Paula England at the BSA Annual Conference 2016.
In both the US and the UK, nonmarital births are much more common among those from disadvantaged class
backgrounds. This talk explores the source of this class gradient in different life chances, different desires for a pregnancy, and in different personal efficacy in the use of contraception when a pregnancy is not wanted. The talk is also a plea for sociologists to be open to theories that see effects of class to operate through affecting personal characteristics, and an argument that such theories need not “blame the victim”.
