The Relationship of Religiosity and Sexuality in Non-heterosexual Mormon Women
Cohabitation or Marriage? How Relationship Status and Community Context Influence the Well-being of Children in Developing Nations
Changes in Interracial Marriages in South Africa
The present study used census and survey data from 1996 to 2011 to examine changes in interracial marriages in South Africa a generation after the establishment of democracy in that country. While in-group marriages appear to be the norm, they have been declining dramatically over the years, especially amongst Asian/Indians and whites, the two groups least likely to marry outside their group. In fact, the odds ratio for overall in-marriage droppe…
Social inequality and children’s health in Africa
Some health behavior and policy changes would reduce social inequality, but the wealthy benefit more than the poor from provision of health services
Changing Race Differences in Family Structure and Household Composition in South Africa
We used the 2001 and 2011 population census data of South Africa to examine race differences in changes in family structure, household resources and household composition over the 10-year period. We found noticeable changes in all the indicators of family structure for all race groups, although black African and coloured households remained the largest, while white and Asian households remained the smallest. While racial differences in family str…
Are Improvements in Child Health Due to Increasing Status of Women in Developing Nations
This research tests the hypothesis that change over time in women's status leads to improvements in their children's health. Specifically, we examine whether change in resources and empowerment in mother's roles as biological mothers, caregivers, and providers and social contexts that promote the rights and representation of and investment in women are associated with better nutritional status and survival of young children. Analysis is based on …
Religious Experiences of GBTQ Mormon Males
This article examines the relationship between sexual orientation and religious experience of men from early adolescence to adulthood. Data have been obtained from an online survey of 1,042 males who were part of a larger sample of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) persons who are current or former members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS, Mormon). While early religious experience was essent…
Race differences in educational attainment of youth aged 7–18 in post-apartheid South Africa
The present study uses seven waves of the General Household Survey by Statistics South Africa to examine the role of family structure, resources and school quality in educational inequalities in post-apartheid South Africa. Indians/Asians and whites have an education advantage over Africans and coloureds, and maintain that advantage as they age. About half of the disadvantage of Africans and coloureds is because of family background; very little …

Inequalities in child health in Bolivia
Objectives: This paper examines social inequality in children’s health following the election of Evo Morales. Bolivia is marked by dramatic socioeconomic, ethnic and geographic inequality in children’s health. The Morales government initiated several public health reforms designed to provide more equal access to public health services. Methods: Analysis was conducted using Bolivia Demographic and Health Survey data from 2003 to 2008. Results: The…
Religion and socioeconomic status in developing nations
The author shows that religious affiliation is associated with socioeconomic status, but it is not clear how this relationship varies by national context. He examines religious group differences in education and wealth, comparing major religious groups in various countries. Some differences are large but not systematic. For example, Protestants and Catholics differ in wealth, but the differences favor Catholics in some countries and Protestants i…

Mormon Fertility in Latin America
While previous research has identified religion as an influence of fertility, how context changes the nature of that relationship remains little understood. Using census data from Brazil, Chile and Mexico, this study examines whether the high fertility pattern of one pronatalist, American-born religion (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints [LDSs]) translates to the Latin American context. Results indicate that it does, but only among a…
Child Nutritional Status by Rural/Urban Residence
Purpose: Rural children in developing countries have poor health outcomes in comparison with urban children. This paper considers 4 questions regarding the rural/urban difference, namely: (1) do individual‐level characteristics account for rural/urban differences in child nutritional status; (2) do community‐level characteristics account for rural/urban differences net of individual‐level characteristics; (3) does type of residence alter the infl…
Religious Diversity in Mexico
Mexico has experienced dynamic changes in its religious landscape, but relatively little is known about the ways in which the affiliates of the diverse religious groups differ in their socioeconomic and family characteristics. This paper examines religious group differences in key demographic indicators of socioeconomic status and family structure using the 2000 Mexican Census. The changing patterns of religious affiliation in Mexico signal incre…
Changing Intergroup Boundaries in Brazilian Marriages
Using data from the 1991 and 2000 Censuses, and the 2001 and 2008 PNAD of Brazil, this paper examines change in educational, racial and religious intermarriage. Different perspectives on social change make different predictions regarding shifts in the magnitude of marital homogamy within these three social characteristics. Racial homogamy is less pronounced in Brazil than in a variety of other contexts, educational homogamy is comparable to that …

Religious Differences in Modernization of the Family
This research examines trends in a broad set of reproductive and marital behaviors in Ghana, focusing on religious group differences. These comparisons provide evidence of how family trends are constrained by religious identity in a less developed country. Three waves of the Ghana Demographic and Health Surveys are used to track trends in the age at family formation, marital status, contraceptive use, and family size. Results indicate that women …
A Diversidade Religiosa Brasileira e Suas Dimensões Sociais Segundo o Censo do Ano 2000
Os dados do Censo brasileiro do ano 2000 começaram a ser divulgados apenas no final de 2002 e início de 2003. Desde então os dados sobre religião têm sido muito úteis na interpretação da realidade religiosa geral nesse país, e já nos aproximamos ao próximo censo.
Comparative Patterns of Interracial Marriage
Using census data, we compare patterns of interracial marriage in six different contexts where immigration has played a central role in population composition. We use Kalmijn's (1998) general theoretical perspective that emphasizes how opportunity structures and third-party factors affect inter-group marriage rates. More specifically, we hypothesize that rates of intermarriage are influenced by: (1) structural opportunities as reflected by the hi…
Racial and Educational Homogamy
Two recent trends in marriage imply different consequences for the degree of heterogeneity in American society: Increasing racial intermarriage indicates higher levels of social integration, while continued educational homogamy potentially enlarges socioeconomic inequality. This article analyzes census 5 percent Public Use Micro Samples data from 1980 to 2000 and examines the two trends simultaneously. Results suggest that racial homogamy has gra…
Religion, Job Readiness, and Employment Outcomes
Despite increased attention to religious organizations as an ally in America's welfare-to-work revolution, faith- based employment assistance programs have garnered little attention from scholars. This study seeks to fill this gap by examining intake and follow-up survey data collected from clients of Employment Resource Centers sponsored by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS). The authors begin by examining the sociodemo- graph…

Religious Influence on Marital Stability
Researchers frequently postulate a strong relationship between religiosity and marital stability. We incorporate a multidimensional specification of religiosity into event-history models of the religion-marital stability relationship. Results are based on panel data from the National Survey of Families and Households (N = 4,587 married couples). While no single dimension of religiosity adequately describes the effect of religious experience on ma…
Factors Contributing to Increasing Marital Stability in the United States
Results from the 1995 National Survey of Family Growth indicate that marriages contracted after 1980 are becoming more stable. This article examines several individual characteristics in search of an explanation for increasing stability. A person-year file is created and logistic regression is used to determine which covariates account for the negative effect of year in a model predicting the likelihood of marital dissolution. Increasing experien…
Persistence and Change in Decisions to Remain Childless
Numerous researchers have examined the incidence, correlates, and predictors of childlessness. Few, however, have examined changes in intended childlessness because the longitudinal data required to track these changes are rare. We utilize the National Survey of Families and Households to examine trends in intentions to remain childless. We include both demographic and ideational variables in the analysis, and we focus on respondents between the …
The Effects of Religious Homogamy on Marital Satisfaction and Stability
Previous studies have indicated a relationship between religious homogamy and marital satisfaction and stability. However, most have emphasized denominational affiliation only. Using loglinear analysis of national survey data, this study tested the effects of three types of religious homogamy - namely denominational affiliation, church attendance, and belief in the Bible - upon marital satisfaction and stability. Results indicated that denominati…
Marital stability throughout the child-rearing years
Although there is evidence that the number and ages of children influence marital stability, studies have not systematically tracked the risk of marital disruption throughout the child-rearing years. This study uses marital and fertility histories from the June 1985 Current Population Survey to examine this issue. Continuous-time regression models with ages and numbers of children as time-varying covariates are estimated. Net of controls for age …

Religious Homogamy and Marital Satisfaction Reconsidered
The relationship between religious homogamy and marital satisfaction is examined utilizing log-linear models. Inclusion of the separate effects of husband's and wife's religion on marital satisfaction allows us to control for the potentially spurious relationship between religious affiliation and marital satisfaction. Results indicate that homogamous marriages are more satisfying. In order to test the hypothesis that dissatisfaction in heterogene…
Monitoring the metropolitanization process
Alternative approaches have led to different interpretations of the metropolitanization process in the United States. We identify and illustrate several methods and procedures for monitoring metropolitan-nonmetropolitan population change using the 1950–1980 U.S. decennial censuses. Two basic approaches are compared: constant area approaches and component methods. In addition, we assess the effects of changing metropolitan definitions on metropoli…
Family transitions in Latin America
This paper examines the initiation of sexual activity, first marriage and first birth as key steps in family formation. These events mark the transition to adulthood and generally occur in the late teens and early twenties in most Latin American countries. Using data from Demographic and Health Surveys, we examine the timing of these events across birth cohorts, comparing urban and rural areas, countries, cultural regions and educational groups. …
Time-Related Determinants of Marital Dissolution
In this article several dimensions of temporality are identified and their impact on marital dissolution is assessed in a multivariate continuous time model using marital and fertility histories from the June 1985 [U.S.] Current Population Survey. The temporal concepts are timing of prior events historical time duration dependence and selectivity. Results indicate that marital stability is decreasing over time increases over marital duration incr…

Intergroup Marriage
Though a number of authors have noted the increase in interracial marriages in the United States over the past few decades, few researchers have systematically examined variables that affect the opportunity for intergroup marriage among several different groups: Whites, African Americans, Asians, and Hispanics. In this paper we examine several 'opportunity' variables and their relationship to intergroup marriage for couples age 40 or younger: imm…
The Timing of Divorce
Much analysis of the correlates of divorce fails to take into account the time dependency of this event with respect to marital duration. This paper focuses explicitly on the relationship between independent variables and the timing of divorce. Two competing models are proposed. The adjustment model posits a decline in the effects of covariates as marital duration increases. In contrast, the perpetual problem model states that covariates will con…

Age at First Sexual Intercourse and the Timing of Marriage and Childbirth
Although several studies have examined determinants of age at 1st intercourse less attention has been given to consequences. In this analysis age at 1st intercourse is viewed as a life course transition which can influence rates of marriage and childbearing. Analysis is based on the National Survey of Family Growth Cycle III. Early initiation of sexual activity is associated with a relatively slow pace of family formation but early initiators do …
Why is the Divorce Rate Declining in Indonesia
This article examines trends in marital dissolution in Indonesia. Analysis considers the impact of educational expansion, delayed marriage, urbanization, increasing employment before marriage, legislative change, and increased free choice in marriage on the decline in marital disruption. Trends such as delayed marriage and educational expansion account for about one third of the decline in marital dissolution. Moreover, factors associated with ma…
Gender Differences in Determinants of Marital Disruption
Because the family is a highly gendered institution, the authors anticipated that characteristics of husbands and wives would have differing influences on marital disruption. Longitudinal data from the National Survey of Families and Households were used to examine the influence of sociodemographic and attitudinal characteristics of each spouse on the likelihood of marital disruption. In general, wives' variables have a stronger influence than do…

Adolescent Life Events and their Association with the Onset of Sexual Intercourse
This study examined the timing of several events marking the transition from adolescence to young adulthood and their correlation with the age at first sexual intercourse. The model included parental disruption, dropping out of school, working, drug use, and dating. Socioeconomic status, gender, and race were included as control variables. Data are taken from the National Survey of Children, a longitudinal study of children ages 7-11 in 1976 who …
Initiation of Sexual Activity among Female Adolescents
According to the 1982 National Survey of Family Growth, 46% women aged 15-19 had experienced premarital intercourse. Projections based on this study show that by their 20th birthdays, 70% of all women in the US will have experienced premarital intercourse. This article examines the effects of various factors on the likelihood that teenagers will become sexually active. Data for this study were taken from the National Survey of Family Growth, Cycl…

Migration and the Transformation of Employment and Household Structures
Data collected in Colombia and Thailand in 1977 are used to "compare the employment and household characteristics of migrants before and after the move in order to assess the degree of change which accompanies migration. Moreover, these comparisons [are] made for migration streams between places at different levels in the urban hierarchy with the intention of determining within which streams the greatest transformations occur."
Families, Jobs and Mobility
An analysis of migration in developing countries is presented. The analysis concentrates on change at the individual level and the extent to which factors such as age, education, and length of residence can account for changes experienced by migrants in various migrant streams. The data concern Colombia and Thailand. The differences among migration streams between similar urban places, to large towns, and away from larger towns are considered

Racial Differences in Nonmetropolitan Population Deconcentration
Recent research suggests not only that the U.S. population has deconcentrated from metropolitan to nonmetropolitan areas, but also that the 1970s have ushered in a period of widespread population deconcentration within nonmetropolitan areas. The present paper examines the extent to which U.S. blacks have participated in urban—rural deconcentration in the 1970s. Using population counts from the 1950 through 1980 decennial censuses, we report signi…

Childlessness among American women
The rate of childlessness in the United States has increased over the last two decades. Changing or differential rates by different segments of society have important implications for society. Most previous studies have relied on unrepresentative opportunistic samples to identify those segments of society with lower or higher rates of childlessness. These types of samples may misestimate both the number of women planning to remain childless and t…

The Sociodemographic Correlates of the Timing of Divorce in Ghana
Using the 1979/1980 World Fertility Survey data from Ghana the authors examine the social and demographic correlates of the timing of divorce. On the whole they found that marriages are quite unstable in the country. Within 10 years of marriage 23% of the women have dissolved their marriages. Of couples married in the 1970s 32% are expected to divorce within 10 years after marriage. Even though the traditional extended family has been undergoing …
