The Parallel Declines of Intergenerational Economic Mobility and Marriage
Intergenerational mobility declined in the second half of the 20th century—simultaneously with the decline in marriage rates and the rise of single parenthood. This study investigated whether county-level intergenerational mobility rates predict family formation patterns. We utilized a county-level measure of intergenerational mobility constructed by Chetty and Hendren for a cohort of young adults born between 1980 and 1986 and raised in lower-in…
Listening to the Voices of America
We make the case for building a permanent public-use platform for conducting and analyzing immersive interviews on the everyday lives of Americans. The American Voices Project (AVP)—a widely watched experiment with this new platform—provides important early evidence on its promise. The articles in this issue reveal that, although public-use interview datasets obviously cannot meet all research needs, they do provide new opportunities to study sma…
Direct and Indirect Longitudinal Associations of Mother and Father Engagement in Middle Childhood on Adolescent Externalizing and Internalizing Behaviors
Re-thinking Stepfathers' Contributions
Using data from a contemporary cohort of children, we revisit the question of whether children benefit from being close to and engaging in activities with a stepfather. We deploy the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study, a birth cohort study of nearly 5000 children born in US cities in 1998-2000, with a large oversample of nonmarital births. We explore the relationships between stepfathers' closeness and active engagement and youth's intern…
Severe Housing Insecurity during Pregnancy
Introduction: Housing insecurity is increasingly commonplace among disadvantaged women and children. We measured the individual- and population-level impact of severe housing insecurity during pregnancy on adverse birth and infant outcomes. Methods: We analyzed data from 3428 mother-infant dyads enrolled in the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study, a prospective cohort study representing births in 20 large U.S. cities from 1998 to 2000. Sev…
