      This data is from the 90s. But here’s some facts.

      Adult fathers, responsible for 26.7% of births to very young adolescents, were a mean of 8.8 years older than the mother. The risk factors for adult compared to adolescent paternity were as follows: father’s educational attainment of at least 3 years below that considered adequate for his age [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 8.34], father’s (AOR = 2.46) or mother’s (AOR = 1.36) educational attainment 1-2 years below that considered adequate for their age, mother’s birthplace outside the United States (AOR = 3.12), and father’s Hispanic ethnicity (AOR = 1.60) or African-American race (AOR = 1.50).
