Ethnic and Racial Disparities in HPV Vaccination Attitudes
Leaving Home in the Transition to Adulthood
The transition to adulthood is not a simple biological aging process but, rather, a complex social process that differs over time and across societies. Recent increases in education, nonfamily living, and age at marriage in industrialized countries have combined to create a period of “emerging adulthood” among those aged 18 to 29. This entry highlights many of the key factors and trends relating to this period of transition to adulthood including…
The Changing Relationship between Education and Marriage in the United States, 1940–2000
In 1940, when gender specialization was high, there was a negative relationship between education and marriage for women. College-educated women were least likely to be currently married and most likely to be never married. Declines in specialization were accompanied by a transition in this relationship. By 2000, when gender specialization was low, there was a positive relationship between education and marriage for women. College-educated women …
Emigration and Schooling among Second-Generation Mexican-American Children
In this Research Note, we investigate the prevalence and patterns of second-generation Mexican-American children's migration to and return from Mexico during childhood and consider the consequences of this migration for their schooling. Around one in ten second-generation Mexican-American children live in Mexico for some of their childhood. Strong patterns of return to the U.S. through childhood argue for their being considered as part of the Mex…
Leaving Home in the Transition to Adulthood
Full adulthood normally involves attaining the stable adult roles of worker, partner, and parent. Childhood, in contrast, is normally associated with net dependency on one's own parents. The transition to adulthood, then, comprises two steps: (1) ending childhood dependency and (2) making progress on the central responsible roles of adulthood. In the study of the transition to adulthood, these processes are bound together in complex ways
Less help for mother
Research on changes in women’s parenting has focused primarily on their increased likelihood of combining parenthood with paid employment, exploring the pressures that result from this “second shift” or “double burden.” This article complements this approach by focusing instead on the likely reduction in the help that mothers of small children have received as declines both in fertility and the coresidence of nonnuclear adults have reduced the nu…
