Abstract

The prevalence of child marriage in Indonesia varies across the country, some of it are related to the sexual exploitation. Hence, several studies suggest that family’s expenditure level is expected to predict child marriage. Families with lower expenditure are prone and often marry off girls as a way to lessen the economic burden of the family. Regardless of the factors, child marriage has serious consequences, particularly for young mother. In this case, young mothers are forced to raise children within the circumstances that are not in accordance with their developmental tasks. This study explores whether psychological factors including extraversion, social support and information literacy, as well as demographical factors influence the young mother’s parenting self-efficacy particularly those who engage in child marriage.

The results reveal that psychological factors have a significant influence on the parenting self-efficacy of young mothers who engage in child marriage, information literacy was identified as the most significant factor influencing parenting self efficacy.
