From the Paper:

"The burden on the parents of teenaged mothers is also harsh, with many having a drag placed on their economic earning potential and reducing expectations of responsible behavior towards the other children in the family. Children in families whose siblings have given birth as teenagers may decided that the act of teenage pregnancy is acceptable and become more likely to repeat the follies of their older siblings."
