Children in an Aging Society
The implications of population aging for children are relevant primarily for disadvantaged children. Disadvantaged children have grandparents with fewest resources and are most in need of public spending. As costs of supporting the older population increase, intentional social changes will be needed to prevent growing inequality among children
On the Shoulders of a Giant
The legacy of Matilda White Riley to the study of aging encompasses multiple disciplines and extends to multiple domains within these disciplines. Although her greatest intellectual legacy is in sociology, she presented a compelling vision of the need for other disciplines to consider the role of social forces in shaping both aging as an individual, lifelong process and age as a feature of culture and social systems. This article reviews Riley's …
The Social Separation of Old and Young
Ageism has been the focus of numerous publications, while age segregation is a neglected topic. Ageism on a micro‐individual level is linked to segregation on a macro level in a segregation‐ageism cycle. Possible linking mechanisms, which might help break this cycle, can be found on a meso level of social networks—their structure and functions. Data from the United States and the Netherlands show that non‐family networks are strongly age homogene…

Age-segregation in later life
In a rapidly changing society, young adults may play an important role in teaching older adults about social, cultural and technological changes. Thus older people who lack regular contact with younger people are at risk of being excluded from contemporary social developments. But how age-segregated are older people? The level of age-segregation of older people can be studied by examining the age-composition of personal social networks. Using NES…
Later Life Education in the 1990s
Although age-graded roles of student, worker, and retiree are becoming increasingly blurred, Americans' pursuit of education at the end of the twentieth century was still guided by age-related role expectations

Frequency of Grandparent Contact With Grandchild Sets
Using data from the second wave of the National Survey of Families and Households, the authors examine the determinants of frequent and infrequent visiting between grandparents and their grandchild sets. A grandchild set consists of all the children of a particular child of the grandparent, provided that the grandchildren reside in their parent's household. The 6 significant predictors of frequent or infrequent contact are geographic distance, qu…

American Cool
Cool. The concept has distinctly American qualities and it permeates almost every aspect of contemporary American culture. From Kool cigarettes and the Peanuts cartoon's Joe Cool to West Side Story (Keep cool, boy.) and urban slang (Be cool. Chill out.), the idea of cool, in its many manifestations, has seized a central place in our vocabulary. Where did this preoccupation with cool come from? How was Victorian culture, seemingly so ensconced, re…
Co-residence in the Early Twentieth Century
A quiet demographic revolution has occurred during the twentieth century in the United States: the decline in intergenerational household sharing. Why were these living arrangements so common for older women early in the century? We examine the characteristics of adult kin who shared intergenerational households in 1910. Two nationally representative samples, of elderly mothers and their co-resident biological adult children were taken from the 1…

Population Aging and Social Policy
As the life course currently is structured, old age is socially defined as a stage of life beginning in the early sixties, in which retirement from work and many other social responsibilities is expected. Few incentives exist for older persons to make productive contributions to the society, and obstacles to their engagement in productive activities exist. Consequently, large transfers from the working population to the retired are required, and …

Changes in Work-Family Connections Among Highly Educated Men and Women
Traditionally, work and family roles have been less compatible for women than for men. Census data are used to describe changes in the work-family connection between 1970 and 1980 for highly educated men and women, aged 30 to 39. The analyses reveal that despite educational and occupational advances for women during the 1970s, gender differences in the connection between work and family experiences remained substantial over the decade. Marriage a…
How Old Are You? Age Consciousness in American Culture
Most Americans take it for granted that a thirteen-year-old in the fifth grade is behind schedule, that teenagers who marry too are in for trouble, and that a seventy-five-year-old will be pleased at being told, You look young for your Did an awareness of age always dominate American life? Howard Chudacoff reveals that our intense age consciousness has developed only gradually since the late nineteenth century. In so doing, he explores a wide ran…

The Role of Divorce in Men's Relations with Their Adult Children after Mid-Life
Studies of post-divorce parent-child relations have concentrated primarily on the short-term consequences of divorce for relations between young children and their fathers. In contrast this study examines the extended effects of divorce on mens relations with their adult offspring. Father-child relations with ever-divorce men aged 50- 79 are compared with those of never-divorced married men on the basis of data from the US National Survey of Fami…
Family-Building Patterns of Professional Women
Researchers analyzed 1980 data on 1120 postsecondary teachers 839 lawyers and 486 physicians to compare family building events of these 3 groups of 30-39 year old white professional women living in the US. 35-39 year old women were less likely to be currently married and were more likely to have no children than women in the general population ( 75% and 20-30% vs. 9%). More 35-39 year old physicians were currently married than lawyers (68.7% vs. …
American Children in Multiracial Households
This study provides a demographic portrait of multiracial households, using children as the units of analysis. The authors conceptualize three dimensions for understanding multiracialness: (1) the racial composition of a household overall, (2) where in the household a racial difference exists relative to the household head, and (3) where in the household a racial difference exists relative to each child. Using microdata from the 1980 U.S. census,…
Minority Group Status and Fertility
Most studies of minority group fertility assume that as assimilation proceeds the fertility of minority and majority populations will coverge. Differences between minority and majority are usually treated as temporary phenomena and often are interpreted in terms of the social, demographic, and economic characteristics of minority group members. Empirical evidence, however, does not fully support the "characteristics" explanation of Negro, Jewish,…

Fertility patterns within the Mexican‐American population
When standardized for rural-ruban residence Mexican-Americans have a higher fertility rate than any other racial or ethnic group in the U.S. Among women in urban areas between the ages of 35 and 49 the average number of children for Mexican-Americans is 50% greater than for blacks and about 70% greater than for native whites. After 3 generations in the U.S. Mexican-Americans have reproductive levels more characteristic of nonindustrial population…
Demographic correlates of group achievement
Patterns of family size, family stability, and timing of family formation characteristic of Mexican-Americans are contrasted with those of Japanese-Americans, and consequences of their demographic differences for group achievement are explored. Mexican-Americans are found to have a demographic system marked by young ages at marriage, young ages at beginning of childbearing, high rates of reproduction, and high rates of marital instability. Japane…

Marital Instability among Mexican Americans
While existing literature repeatedly states that rates of marital instability are low among Mexican Americans, data from the 1960 Census suggest otherwise. Furthermore, a comparison of subgroups defined by generation and place of residence indicates a trend toward rapidly increasing rates of marital instability for this population. Third-generation Mexican Americans living in California, the most rapidly growing segment of the minority, have a le…

Changes in the Age Distribution of Parents, 1940-1980
There have been substantial changes in the fertility patterns of women in the past half century. Using data drawn from the 1940 through 1980 Public Use Samples of the U.S. Census of Population, we examine how these changes have affected the age distribution of parents for successive cohorts of children. We find that the average age of mothers and fathers has declined across cohorts of children. Part of the reason for this decline in mean ages is …
