Réseau social et évolutions de la famille au Japon
En utilisant les données des enquêtes nationales de 2000 et 2009 sur les conditions familiales et économiques au Japon, cet article examine la relation entre le fait de connaître une personne adoptant des comportements familiaux « innovants » - tels que la cohabitation, les rapports sexuels hors mariage ou le recours à des modes de garde formels des enfants par les mères qui travaillent - et les attitudes envers de tels comportements. Les recherc…
Reexamining the Case for Marriage
This article addresses open questions about the nature and meaning of the positive association between marriage and well-being, namely, the extent to which it is causal, shared with cohabitation, and stable over time. We relied on data from the National Survey of Families and Households (N = 2,737) and a modeling approach that controls for fixed differences between individuals by relating union transitions to changes in well-being. This study is …
Cohabitation and family formation in Japan
This article documents the prevalence, duration, and marital outcomes of cohabiting unions in Japan. It then examines the correlates of cohabitation experiences and also describes differences in the family-formation trajectories of women who have and have not cohabited. Cohabitation has increased rapidly among recent cohorts of women, and cohabiting unions in Japan tend to be relatively short in duration and are almost as likely to dissolve as to…
Children's Living Arrangements, Coresidence of Unmarried Fathers, and Welfare Receipt
This study analyzed welfare receipt among children across alternative living arrangements. Findings suggest more variation in patterns of public assistance receipt than previously reported, and that these variations are affected by the presence of cohabiting fathers. Results argue for more precise indicators of children's living arrangements so that levels of welfare receipt among children are comparable. Indicators should categorize children acc…
Trends in cohabitation and implications for children s family contexts in the United States
This paper documents increasing cohabitation in the United States, and the implications of this trend for the family lives of children. The stability of marriage-like relationships (including marriage and cohabitation) has decreased despite a constant divorce rate. Children increasingly live in cohabiting families either as a result of being born to cohabiting parents or of their mother s entry into a cohabiting union. The proportion of births to…

Emerging Issues in Demographic Research in the United States
Changing Patterns of Remarriage
After briefly reviewing recent trends in US remarriage rates this paper focuses on the variation in these rates as measured in the 1980 and 1985 June Current Population Surveys. For data quality reasons it focuses on rates observed in the 5 years before each of the surveys. It begins by discussing the demographic composition of separation cohorts as a factor affecting remarriage rates and ultimately the structure of remarriages. It next examines …
Unmarried Motherhood
The National Survey of Family Growth (1982) is used to examine the extent to which racial differences in premarital birth rates can be explained by differences in parents’ socioeconomic status, family structure, and residential characteristics. The findings document a large diversity in premarital births within both populations. Black women from high-risk backgrounds are three times more likely to have a premarital birth than black women from low…
National Survey of Families and Households
This collection provides data on the family experience in the United States. At a time when the range of family structures is becoming more and more diverse, this study permits a close examination of the resulting family compositions and household operations. One adult, the primary respondent, was chosen from each of 13,017 households in the study. In addition to the main interview conducted with the primary respondent, a shorter, self-administer…
Intergenerational Consequences of Family Disruption
This paper examines the effects of childhood family disruption on adult family experience by applying proportional hazard models to data from the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG). The results provide strong evidence that women who spend part of their childhoods in one-parent families are more likely to marry and bear children early, give birth before marriage, and have their own marriages break up. The major exception is that, among blacks…
Bigger Isn't Necessarily Better
Some Characteristics of Children's Second Families
The structure of second families is conditioned by characteristics of children and parents at the time or remarriage and by subsequent fertility. For U. S. children whose mothers have recently remarried this report documents the ages and number of siblings at the time of remarriage, the previous marital status of the new stepfather, the duration of single-parent experience before remarriage, and the age and education of the mother. Estimates are …
Intermediate Variables and Educational Differentials in Fertility in Korea and the Philippines
This analysis compares the effects of contraceptive use and infant and fetal mortality on the pace offertility in Korea and the Philippines and explores the mediating effects of these intermediate variables on educational differentials in childspacing. For birth intervals initiated in a recent period before a sample survey, second, third and higher-order intervals are examined. Transitions within successive segments of interval exposure (qxvalues…
Education and Fertility
The interplay between education and fertility has a significant influence on the roles women occupy, when in their life cycle they occupy these roles, and the length of time spent in these roles. The overall inverse relationship between education and fertility is well known; but little is known about the theoretical and empirical basis of this relationship. This paper explores the theoretical linkages between education and fertility and examines …
Children's Experience of Marital Disruption
This paper uses life-table procedures and data from the 1973 Family Growth Survey to ask three basic question: (1) What is the cumulative probabilty that by a given age a child will have experienced a single-parent family as a consequence of marital dusruption? (2) Given a marital disruption, what is the cumulative proportion of children either experiencing parental remarriage or reaching age 18 within a given number of years following disruption…
Comment on J. Blake’s “Can we Believe Recent Data on Birth Expectations in the United States?”
In her recent article on the family size values of U. S. women, Blake repeats the warning that current low fertility may be transitory. Her caution is appropriate, and her data document some interesting aspects of pronatalist values. Nevertheless, there are several points in Blake's interpretation of these data that warrant comment. These will be considered, following the outline of her article. 1. Blake proposes that the increase in the two-chil…
The prediction of fertility among catholics
A longitudinal analysis of the reproductive behavior of a sample of Catholics who were participants in the 1965 NFS and reinterviewed in 1969 is reported in this paper. Fertility over the period studied varied systematically with the additional number of children intended in 1965. In addition, this study has documented a predictive role for method of contraception and the experience of premarital pregnancy. Women using less effective methods and …

The Prediction of Completed Fertility
There has been considerable interest in the relation between familysize desires and completed fertility. Longitudinal data from the Princeton Fertility Study provide a unique opportunity to compare the number of children desired after the birth of a second child to the size of completed families. The average number of children desired by women after the birth of their second child predicts very well the average size of their completed families. T…
Age at marriage as a variable in socio-economic differentials in fertility
Earlier studies have pointed out that socio-economic differentials in fertility depend upon both religion and farm background. These studies report a negative relation between fertility and socio-economic status for non-Catholic American couples in contrast to a positive relation for Catholics. Likewise, a negative differential for American couples with farm background has been observed in contrast to no differential for twogeneration urbanites. …
Oral contraception, coital frequency, and the time required to conceive
Using data from the 1965 National Fertility Study (NFS) and from the 1957-1967 Princeton Fertility Study (PFS) the relationship between oral contraceptive use coital frequency and time required for conception is studied. Using NFS data mean monthly coital frequency (calculated by contraceptive method for women classified by age race education and religion) for women aged 25-44 was increased 18-20% for pill users compared to those using other meth…
Stability and Change in Family Size Expectations Over the First Two Years of Marriage
Stability and change in expectations about family size
En tres erdreuisias realizadas en el transcurso de dos años entre mujeres de Detroit que habían tenido su primero, su segundo o su cuarto nacimiento, se encontró una notable estabilidad en las respuestas acerca del número de hijos esperados. En muchos casos individuales hubo pequeñios cambios, pero los efectos se compensaron. Se encontró que varias características sociales, especialmente la religión y la ocupación; se relacionaban con la intensid…
