520 |a Later marriage ages, longer life expectancy, higher divorce rates, and the feminization of poverty will all figure in the economic future of modern girls. Values about work, marriage, and motherhood are in flux during adolescence, and the messages they receive are often contradictory. Steps must be taken to educate girls to make clearheaded and realistic decisions that have lifetime consequences. The high teenage birth rate demonstrates that few young girls realize that delaying childbearing and marriage would have startling effects on their future economic well-being. Although the number of women in the labor force increased by 173 percent between 1947 and 1980, they are still underrepresented in the physical sciences, engineering, and business: women cluster in low-paying, traditionally female jobs, and the average earnings ratio of women to men has not risen over the last 30 years. Girls and young women today should receive guidance so these trends can be reversed in the future. More work needs to be done to broaden the understanding of female development during adolescence. Girls should receive better treatment during the following four periods: (1) infancy; (2) adolescence, when they are trained to be compliant and dependent; (3) their first menstrual period; and (4) the stage of adolescence when girls seek both autonomy and interdependence. A list of references is included. (BJV)
