  • Menarcheal age and subsequent patterns of family formation

    Ann P Riley, M Weinstein et al.ARTICLEBiodemography and Social Biology2001References: 13

    We examine whether age at menarche affects age at first marriage or first birth using two samples of U.S. women. Data are drawn from the Tremin Trust, a longitudinal study of menstrual cycles that recruited white women who were students at the University of Minnesota and from a survey of a nationally representative sample of white women born between 1900 and 1910. Regression models with cubic splines were used to analyze the relationship between …

  • Farm background, socioeconomic status, and fertility: The two-generation hypothesis

    Jeanne Clare Ridley, David E Myers et al.ARTICLEBiodemography and Social Biology1987References: 8

    This paper reports on an examination of whether the effects of farm background on socioeconomic differentials in fertility are diminished among nonfarm couples. The data are for a sample of white ever‐married women belonging to the 1901–1910 birth cohorts. The research provides another test of the two‐generation‐urbanite hypothesis first advanced by Goldberg. Unlike a number of other studies, the findings do not support the hypothesis. Reasons fo…

  • Estimation of Stochastic Variation in Vital Rates: A Simulation Approach

    C M Suchindran, Alice Sokolove Clague et al.ARTICLEPopulation Studies1979

    The computer simulation model REPSIM-B is used to study the random errors in selected cohort natality measures. A brief overview of various analytic approaches for studying such random errors is first presented. Results from analytic models are then compared with those obtained from the computer simulation model. The natality measures studied are age-specific rates total fertility births per person-years lived and cumulative birth rates. Also con…

    In preindustrial societies, women could combine a familial with an economic role. With industrialization, eco nomic production was removed from the home; thus, women lost their economic role. The reductions in natality and mortal ity that accompanied the Industrial Revolution in the West re sulted in a smaller proportion of women's lives being devoted to the bearing and rearing of children. In Western countries, declines in mortality contributed …

  • An analytic simulation model of human reproduction with demographic and biological components

    Jeanne Clare Ridley, Mindel C ShepsARTICLEPopulation Studies1966Cited by: 14References: 18

    This Monte Carlo model for simulating the reproductive history of a cohort of women is described in detail. The model provides for patterns of survival, sterility, formation and dissolution of sexual unions, fecundability, lactation, foetal wastage, family planning practices etc. Natality indices specific for marital status, for duration of marriage and for age, as well as analyses of birth spacing patterns are among the results that may be obtai…

  • Status, Anomia, Political Alienation, and Political Participation

    Jeanne Clare RidleyARTICLEAmerican Journal of Sociology1962Cited by: 13

    Low social status, anomia, and political alienation are shown to be significantly related to a negative vote and unfavorable attitude on the issue of metropolitan government in Nashville, Tennessee, for a sample of suburban residents. Anomia and political alienation interpret, to a very limited extent, the association between social status and political participation in the "Metro" issue. It is concluded that the three independent variables are, …
