Who opts out of neighborhood schools? Determinants and consequences of school choice strategies in China
Who Achieves Residential Independence? Living Arrangements of Never-Married Young Adults in Urban China, 2003-2018
As young adults today increasingly delay marriage and childbearing, more research is needed to understand the trends and determinants of young people's living arrangements before marriage, especially in societies undergoing rapid social changes. Using data from the China General Social Survey (2003-2018), this study investigates how the patterns and determinants of living arrangements among never-married youth have changed over the past two decad…

How Does Religion Influence Parental Support of Young Adult Children
Religion is an important cultural institution that shapes family ideologies and behaviors. Although previous research has documented religious differences in parenting behaviors and parent-child relationships in adolescence, how religion influences parental support of young adult children is not clear. Using data from the Transition into Adulthood Supplement (TAS) of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID, 2005-2017; N = 9,754 person-years), we…
Parental absence during childhood and intergenerational solidarity in adulthood in China
ObjectiveWe aim to examine whether having been separated from parents during childhood influences multiple dimensions of intergenerational solidarity during adulthood.BackgroundIn developing countries, many children experience geographic separation from one or both parents due to parental out-migration. Previous research has examined the concurrent effects of parental migration on parent-child relationships, but little is known about the long-ter…
Precarious Transitions: How Precarious Employment Shapes Parental Coresidence among Young Adults
The rise of precarious work generates important questions about how this mode of employment might affect young workers' transition to adulthood, particularly their decision to live independently. Existing demographic literature has considered the impact of unemployment on parental coresidence but overlooked the potential influence of precarious employment. Yet, features of precarious employment might matter for young adults' residential arrangeme…
The Covid‐19 pandemic and residential mobility intentions in the United States: Evidence from Google Trends data
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted people's lives through economic challenges, closure of worksites and schools and increased health risks. These disruptions can trigger new residential needs and preferences, but little research has been done regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on moving intentions. We theorized how the pandemic could influence intentions of making different types of residential moves. Using Google Trends data, we cond…
The Effect of Community Socioeconomic Context on High School Attendance in China: A Generalized Propensity Score Approach
Many developing countries have experienced increasing spatial inequality, but little is known about the effect of community disadvantages on educational attainment in these societies. Using data from the China Family Panel Studies (2010-2016), I examine the effect of community socioeconomic status (SES) on the transition into high school in urban and rural China, and I explore several mechanisms explaining the community effects. I adopt the gener…
Why Are Fewer Young Adults Having Casual Sex
Fewer young adults are engaging in casual sexual intercourse now than in the past, but the reasons for this decline are unknown. The authors use data from the 2007 through 2017 waves of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics Transition into Adulthood Supplement to quantify some of the proximate sources of the decline in the likelihood that unpartnered young adults ages 18 to 23 have recently had sexual intercourse. Among young women, the decline in t…
Determinants and health implications of individuals' activity space experiences
Previous research on the health impact of activity space assumed that individuals conduct daily activities outside residential neighborhoods. Little is known about whether and for whom this assumption holds, let alone whether neighborhood effects vary by individual activity space experiences. Using data in the Philadelphia metropolitan area, we identify four types of activity space experiences—individuals with extended activity space, confined ac…
Male out-migration and the health of left-behind wives in India: The roles of remittances, household responsibilities, and autonomy
In developing countries, labor out-migration has led to millions of married couples living apart from each other. Male out-migration brings economic benefits to the families in places of origin, but also leads to profound changes in the lives of the left-behind wives. It is unclear how the husband's out-migration influences the health of wives, let alone the mechanisms through which any effects are transmitted. Using data from the Indian Human De…
Intergenerational solidarity, proximity to parents when moving to independence, and returns to the parental home
Research on leaving home among young adults has mainly focused on the timing of departures rather than the distance that young adults move when they leave the parental home and establish independent households. We draw on data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) Transition to Adulthood Supplement (TAS) (2005–2015) and the Geospatial Match Files to examine the relationship between intergenerational solidarity and the distance of young a…
The comforts of home: The association between coresidence with parents and young adults' residential mobility and migration in the United States
This study uses data from the 2005 through 2015 waves of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics' Transition to Adulthood supplement to examine the association between young adults' living arrangements and their likelihood of moving. Compared with young adults who live with their parents, young adults who live independently are about twice as likely to move within a state, and four times as likely to move between states, over a biennial period. The ne…
