Repartnering and Childbearing After Divorce
Measuring Postdivorce Living Arrangements
In this article, we present a new method for measuring residential arrangements of children following parental divorce. We discuss the limitations of conventional methods for measuring postdivorce residential situations of children, but our principal objective is to present a promising alternative, the residential calendar. We evaluate its utility with data coming from the Leuven Adolescents and Families project, collected from a sample of 878 Fl…
Commuting between two parental households
This study examines the association between joint physical custody and adolescent wellbeing and whether this relationship is conditioned by the degree of parental conflict, the quality of the parent–child relationship and the complexity of the family configuration of mother and father. We use data from the LAGO-project, containing information on 1,570 children with divorced parents. Overall the wellbeing of children in joint physical custody is s…
Commuting between two parental households
Characteristics of joint physical custody families in Flanders
Research conducted in the 1990s showed that children who live alternately with their mother and father after divorce (joint physical custody) have closer relationships with both parents and better emotional outcomes. In 1995 and 2006, joint legal custody a
Nonmarital Pregnancies and Marriage in the United States
One important change in postwar American family-formation patterns has been a sharp decline in the probability that single women pregnant with their first child marry during their pregnancies and thus legitimate the birth. In this article we first discuss the social context surrounding this change. Our empirical analysis of four national cross-sectional fertility surveys covering the early 1950s through the late 1980s then documents the decreasin…

Mexican American Fertility Patterns
This book reports the effects of generation on fertility and the relationship between linguistic patterns and fertility among Mexican Americans. Using 3 data sources--1970 and 1980 US Census Public Use Sample data and the 1976 Survey of Income and Education data--a comparative framework is constructed which evaluates the relative merits of and group hypotheses as they pertain to Mexican American and black fertility behavior. Chapters include 1) a…

Language usage and fertility in the Mexican-origin population of the United States
This article examines the effects of English proficiency and female education on cumulative and recent fertility within the Mexican-origin population in the U.S. To ascertain whether the cultural or the human capital aspects of linguistic variables have the greater salience for fertility behavior, fertility patterns of bilingual women are compared with those of monolingual women speaking English or Spanish. Using the 1980 U.S. Census 5 percent Pu…
First Births in America
Americans today are becoming parents at older ages; more of them are also remaining childless. This book addresses what causes some members of the population to choose delay or permanent childlessness how far they pervade American society and how their parenthood schedules compare with those in other developed countries. The authors bring a wide variety of data sources to bear on the question of whether these delays will be greater and permanent …
The Linguistic Context of Ethnic Endogamy
Because ethnic endogamy allows the transmission of unique cultural attributes to younger generations it is a necessary feature of the persistence of ethnic descent groups in the United States. Like other patterns of in-marriage levels of ethnic endogamy can be altered by characteristics of the demographic and social contexts in which marriages occur and are maintained. This study examines 2 important aspects of the demographic environment but its…
Mexican-American Fertility Patterns
Husband-Wife Communication, Wife's Employment, and the Decision for Male or Female Sterilization
Using data collected for both husbands and wives from 313 couples electing voluntary steriliztion this research examines the relationship between perceptions of marital communication on the part of both husband and wife and the kind (male or female) of sterilization procedure chosen. The general hypothesis tested is that the likelihood of choosing a female procedure is negatively related to perceptions of marital communication especially among wi…
Rediscovering City Differences in Racial Occupational Inequality
This paper investigates the question of whether city differences in racial occupational inequality are of sufficient magnitude to warrant sustained empirical and theoretical analysis. Using both direct measures of racial occupational inequality and log-linear techniques, we find ample evidence to support the conclusion that city differences in racial occupational inequality are pronounced and merit investigation by social scientists. Thus, we rea…
Husband or Wife
The increasing popularity of sterilization as a contraceptive choice among married couples underscores the need for knowledge about differences between couples choosing male and female procedures. Data from national surveys suggest some sociodemographic differences, but these variables account for only a small amount of the variance. This research looks at other sets of variables-specifically, information sources, influence sources, and reasons h…
Masculinity-Femininity and the Desire for Sexual Intercourse After Vasectomy
Dorie Williams, Gray Swicegood, Margaret P. Clark, Frank D. Bean, Masculinity-Femininity and the Desire for Sexual Intercourse After Vasectomy: A Longitudinal Study, Social Psychology Quarterly, Vol. 43, No. 3 (Sep., 1980), pp. 347-352
Changes in sexual desire after voluntary sterilization
Sterilized and non‐sterilized males and females are compared with respect to the effects of voluntary sterilization on longitudinally reported changes in desire for sexual intercourse in order to ascertain which of several alternative hypotheses provides the best prediction of postoperation perceptions of changes in sexual desire. The results indicate that sterilized women are less likely than sterilized men to report enhanced desire, a result th…
Intergenerational Occupational Mobility and Fertility
This paper examines the relationship between intergenerational occupational mobility and family size: it focuses on the partition of cumulative fertility into 2 components -- intended and unintended births -- that may respond differently to social and economic sources of influence. 4 theoretical perspectives are drawn upon to set forth alternative predictions of the relationship between unintended and intended births for upwardly and downwardly m…
The Decision for Male versus Female Sterilization
188 couples who were to have either the wife or husband undergo surgical sterilization (86 vasectomies 55 tubal ligations and 47 vaginal hysterectomies) completed questionnaires to explain their choice of procedure. Factors covered included reasons for sterilization (health vs. contraceptive or coitus-related) sources of information about it (reading physicians men and women) sources of personal influence (friends parents and relatives vs. physic…
