Remarriage after Divorce: Recent Changes and Demographic Variations
Among adults who had ended their first marriage in divorce, about three-fourths of the elderly men and two-thirds of the elderly women in both 1970 and 1980 were found to be remarried. However, the general decline in remarriage at the younger ages during the 1970s was accentuated among those under 35 years old. Although the proportion remarried among women with graduate school training was the smallest, that proportion declined less during the 19…

More Young Adults Are Living with Their Parents: Who Are They
From a high point in 1940, near the end of the economic depression of the 1930s, the proportion of persons 18 to 29 years of age who were living with their parents declined to a low point in 1960, near the end of the baby boom, and rose moderately by 1984. The recent increase occurred during several years of high rates of marriage postponement, college enrollment, unemployment, divorce, and births to unmarried mothers. This paper documents the ch…

Marriage, Divorce, and Living Arrangements: Prospective Changes
The population base for first marriages reached a peak in 1982, and the corresponding peak for divorces will be reached in about 1990. Both first marriage and remarriage rates have been declining among those in critical age groups and may be expected to continue to do so, barring unforeseen developments. About one-half of the first marriages of young adults today are likely to end in divorce. For second marriages, the projected level is closer to…

Factors associated with the increase in divorce and remarriage and with variations in remarriage among those in different social and economic groups are considered. As many young adults born during the baby boom postpone marriage, and as the divorce rate has risen, more of the marr…

Children of Divorced Parents in Demographic Perspective

Among the changes discussed are the increasing proportion of children under 18 who are of school age; who live with a stepparent; who spend some time in a one‐parent family; whose divorced parent has a college education; and who live with an unmarried couple. A projected one‐third of the children 18 years of age in 1990 will have live…

Perspectives on the recent upturn in divorce and remarriage
The divorce rate per thousand married women under 45 years of age in the United States increased by two–thirds between the mid-1950’s and 1970. During the same period, the remarriage rate per thousand divorced or widowed women under 55 years of age rose about one-third. By contrast, first marriages per thousand single women under 45 years of age declined by one-tenth since the mid-1950’s. These changes reinforce the general impression that a fund…
Married and Unmarried Cohabitation in the United States: 1980
Frequency, Duration, and Probability of Marriage and Divorce
Information on marital histories of adults in the entire United States is summarized from the Survey of Economic Opportunity. Four-fifths of whites and two-thirds of Negroes in the cohort who married at least 20 years ago had married only once. One-fourth of the whites and nearly one-half of the Negroes in this cohort with youthful marriages had experienced divorce. Intervals between marital events were generally shorter for whites than Negroes. …

Age as a Factor in Marriage
X GE is one of several important factors that tend to limit the choice of a marriage partner. There is a general tendency in American society for men to marry for the first time when they are in their twenties and for them to marry a wife a few years younger than they are. Age at first marriage varies over a relatively limited number of years for most men and women, and the difference between the ages of most spouses likewise is subject to a smal…
First-marriage decrement tables by color and sex for the United States in 1958–60
A new set of first-marriage tables is compared with earlier tables that were prepared by Grabill and Jacobson. The new tables show, among other things, the number of first marriages, first-marriage probabilities, and death probabilities for single persons in a stationary (life table) population by color and sex, based on 1960 Census data on marital status and age at first marriage and on general mortality rates for 1959–61. A comparison of the ea…

Fertility-Rates in Wisconsin, 1920-35
For the state of Wisconsin as a whole, there was a correlation coefficient of .70 between general fertility-rates and indexes of business conditions over the period 1920-35; but the depression of the early 1930's apparently had very diverse effects upon the reproductivity of rural and urban populations and other subgroups
Types of Families: An Analysis of Census Data
B Y CLASSIFYING families into types on the basis of characteristics of the family head, some valuable family data from the I930 Census were tabulated, but only a small amount of these statistics were published in the form of rotoprinted releases.' Plans for the report on i940 family data include the publication of families by type. This paper presents an analysis of selected census data on family types, in order to illustrate the research opportu…
Family Trends in the United States, 1890 to 1940

One hundred years later, in i890, four-person families were the most numerous. By i900, there were more three-person families and by I930 more two-person families than any other size. In brief, the modal or typicalfamily size, changed from five persons to two persons in …
Family Status of Men of Military Age
Seven million men were in the armed forces at the beginning of I943. If this number is to be increased to I 2 million, it is likely that 4 million married couples will be separated, including one-third of all those in which the husband is under 38, and one-sixth of all men under 38 who have children. The numerous consequences of such a widespread dislocation of the Nation's manpower present an important field of social science research for at lea…
Estimates of the Future Number of Families
During the two years between July, 1946, and July, 1948, the number of families in the United States is expected to increase from about 38,175,000 to 40,025,000, a growth of 1,850,000 families, as compared with a growth of 1,000,000 families which would be normal for the period, and a growth of only 600,000 families in 1943 and 1944. After mid-1948 family increase is expected to approach normal. However, only about 400,000 families may be added a…

There were about 3 million more marriages and about 1 million more divorces than the expected number from 1940 through 1947. As a net effect, the proportion of the adult population married in 1947 was the largest on record. The number of married couples without a housing unit of their own was nearly 1 million greater in 1947 than in 1940. Married women with jobs outside the home increased to a point where they outnumbered, for the first time, sin…
