Effects of Childhood Family Structure on the Transition to Marriage
Increasing rates of marital dissolution mean that many more children than in the past spend part of their childhood in single-parent families. This paper explores the effects of family structure during the teenage years on the likelihood of marriage later for both males and females. Using data from two national longitudinal surveys of young people, the analysis finds that childhood family patterns do influence the later family formation of the ch…
Fertility effects of isolated spouse separations in relation to their timing
Three dimensions of isolated spousal separation largely determine its fertility impact: (1) length, (2) “completeness” (degree to which it is eliminating fecundability during fecundable months), and (3) its timing as defined by the reproductive state of the wife at its start. While it is obvious that by starting when the wife is in the fecundable state its net delaying of next conception is maximized, it is much less clear with which reproductive…

Changing families and changing mobility: Their impact on the central city
Urban scholars and planners look to evidence of recent gains in the number of nontraditional households as a potential source of increase to the population sizes and tax bases of declining central cities. While it is now well established that substantial gains in the numbers of small, nontraditional households have occurred since the 1950s, it has not been demonstrated that: (a) these households are more likely to relocate in the city than tradit…
Some Effects of Spouse Separation on Fertility
Simple probability models incorporating an approximation first demonstrated by Menken (1979) are used to study births averted by two classes of temporary spouse separation, single and cyclic, under conditions of natural fertility. For either class of spouse separation, births averted increases disproportionately with longer separation. For a given length of separation, births prevented are more sensitive to change in length of anovulation than to…

Distributions of Amenorrhoea and Anovulation
Most statistics of postpartum amenorrhea are based on retrospective rather than prospective reporting and except when short (averaging less than 6 months) exhibit bimodality negative skewness and gross heaping on multiples of 6 months. The 2 best prospective series 1 representing moderately long and the other very long postpartum amenorrhea exhibit modest degrees of bimodality and negative skewness. Bimodality is plausibly explained in terms of s…

Evaluating Acceptance Strategies for Timing of Postpartum Contraception
What is the best time after childbirth to accept contraception? The problem is to reduce overlap with postpartum anovulation, during which contraception is redundant, but simultaneously to reduce the proportion of women conceiving before contraception is inaugurated. Efficiencies of three classes of acceptance strategies at resolving this dilemma are investigated. Particular attention is paid to the postpartum acceptance rule because of its speci…

Do Family Ties Reduce Mortality? Evidence from the United States, 1966-1968
National survey data are used to compute mortality rates for persons in different living arrangements. Mortality is lowerfor married persons than for nonmarried persons; lower for married persons with children than for those without children; and lower for nonmarried persons who are household heads than for those who are not heads. Two approaches are considered: (1) social processes select healthy persons to the statuses of spouse, parent, and ho…
The fall in household size and the rise of the primary individual in the United States
The long-term fall in household size in the United States is discussed within the framework of the aging of the population, continuing as the effects of fertility and mortality decline accumulate. Using distributions of households by size from U.S. census data 1790–1970 and a components of change analysis on primary individuals for 1950–1974, household changes are related to demographic change for the periods 1790–1900, 1900–1950, and 1950–1974. …
