The Impact of Military Life on Spouse Labor Force Outcomes
The focus of the research presented in this article is the impact of Army life on spouse (wife) employment outcomes. Spouse employment is thought to be an important determinant of a soldier's commitment to the Army, job performance, and reenlistment decision. Because of these concerns the Army has initiated a series of policies and programs directed toward the enhancement of spouse employment. Using 1985 individual-level Department of Defense sur…

The Completion of Childbearing
Using data on fertility histories from the 1980 US Current Population Survey which included about 77000 households in a national probability sample the timing of the completion of childbearing (as measured by the age of the mother at her final birth) of successive 20th-Century cohorts of US women (born in 1906-15 1916-25 1926-30 and 1931-35) investigated. Data from the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) were also used to examine the likely a…
Childbearing and family in remarriage
Proportional hazards models are used to test hypotheses about the effect of women’s prior childbearing on the probability of having a birth in remarriage and to analyze the effects of other factors. Results indicate that the number of children at the time of remarriage has no effect on childbearing probabilities, but the age of the youngest child has a significant effect. These findings support the view that having a child is important to confirm…
The Effects of Post-marital Childbearing on Divorce and Remarriage
In this paper we examine the effects of having a baby during a period of separation on the probability of divorce, and the impact of bearing a child while divorced on the likelihood of remarriage in the United States. Among whites, neither a first nor a second birth during separation had any significant effect on the probability of divorce. Among blacks, either a first or second birth significantly increased the chance of divorce. The function of…
The effects of children on divorce and re-marriage
Using proportional hazards models and multiple decrement life tables to analyse data from the 1973 National Survey of Family Growth, this study tests the hypotheses that, net of the effects of such factors as age at separation or divorce, the probabilities of divorce after separation and of re-marriage after divorce would be lower for women with larger numbers of children or younger children, and that these transitions would take longer than for …
Childlessness and Marital Stability in Remarriages
The study seeks to increase understanding of variation in the patterning of life-course events and in the structure of families in remarriage by examining the outcomes of these new marriages for us women. It analyzes the probabilities and the timing of having a birth in a 2nd marriage or of ending the marriage without having a child among women still childless at remarriage and those who already have 1 or more children. By comparing these 2 group…
Economy, Family, and Remarriage
THIS article applies the emerging economic theory of remarriage to data on remarriage after widowhood in preindustrial Western society and examines the implications of these data both for the theory of remarriage and for the understanding of remarriage processes in modern American society. The first section briefly reviews the theory of remarriage, based largely on U.S. data, and specifies some of the assumptions implicit in theory. This is follo…
