Men's life course trajectories
Making use of retrospective information gathered through a 2001 national survey in Canada, we examined the timing of transitions and life course trajectories starting from events experienced early in life to events that usually happen later in life. The subjects of the study were men born from 1926 to 1975, and the analyses were done by 5‐year birth cohorts and by social status. Results of the analysis showed that there have been significant chan…
Patterns of Age Variability in Life Course Transitions
This study examines age variability in life course transitions using retrospective data collected through the 1995 Canadian General Social Survey on the Family. The analysis of interquartile ranges obtained through life tables shows that school completion, and for women, start of regular work have become more age-homogenous. For family events such as home-leaving, first union, first marriage, and first and last birth there was a move towards narr…

Demography in a new key
The widespread opinion that demography is lacking in theory is based in part on a particular view of the nature of scientific theory, generally known as logical empiricism [or positivism]. A newer school of philosophy of science, the model-based view

What is applied demography
Icons, Straw Men and Precision
Despite the passage of half a century since ‘demographic transition theory” first appeared in English-language demographic literature, many would agree that relatively little progress has been made toward refinement and testing of leading theoretical ideas, or towards theoretical consensus. There has rather been a proliferation of untested theories, partially overlapping and often associated with one individual, discipline, or school of thought. …

The Family Environment and Leaving the Parental Home
This study tests a set of hypotheses relating key aspects of the family environment to the timing of home-leaving among youths. A central research question is whether youths living in stepfamilies, single-parent families, and those with two biological parents display different patterns of leaving the parental home. The data used for this study were drawn from the 1984 Family History Survey collected by Statistics Canada on the timing of home-leav…

Household Formation in Developed Societies

Household status is seen as a composite good and is discussed in terms of a demand-supply framework. Nine…

The Index of Overall Headship
This paper develops and tests an age-sex standardized measure of household complexity, defined broadly as the tendency of adults (other than spouses) to head their own households or to share households. The aim is a measure of household complexity which can be computed with a minimum of demographic data, namely, data on number of households and on the population by age and sex. The procedure is similar to that of Coale for fertility measurement (…

Trends and Differentials in Age at Marriage in Korea
The findings of a study of time trends and demographic social, and economic differentials in age at marriage are presented. Korean birth rates declined between 1960 and 1970, and the major cause of this decline was delayed marriage. This article is based on a literature survey and on some analysis of the 1966 Special Demographic Survey. The findings indicated that around 28% of the women born before 1896 were still single at age 18 compared with …

The Size and Structure of Families
Recent hypotheses by Levy regarding the essential similarity of actual family structures in all societies are examined in the light of United Nations data on type and size of households, and in the light of more detailed census materials from selected nations, mostly in Latin America. Some support is found for his assertion that in no society has the very large residential family become the modal form. In passing, the measure average household si…

Some demographic determinants of average household size
Descriptions of non-nuclear family systems in terms of rules of residence imply large and complex households, yet such households are not encountered as modal or average for large populations. Demographic factors, in particular high mortality, have been suggested as possible explanations for the apparent discrepancy. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the influence of demographic variables (viz., mortality, fertility, age at marriage) on…

The fertility of north American catholics
Las investigaciones de post-guerra acerca de la fertilidad diferencial de los Estados Unidos nos han documentado acerca de la mayor fertilidad delos católicos en relación a los no-católicos; al mismo tiempo, han revelado grandes diferencias de fertilidad entre los diferentes grupos étnicos de católicos. También han establecido diferencias en los patrones matrimoniales, lo que puede incidir sobre la fertilidad general

Extended Family Structure and Fertility
A marked contrast exists between the wide acceptance of the proposition that the extended family encourages high fertility and the scarcity of relevant empirical evidence. 1 reason for this inadequacy has been the failure to deal with a number of conceptual and methodological problems involved in testing the proposition. A preliminary statement of some of these problems is presented. All but 1 of the few studies that has explored the relation bet…

Fertility, Ideal Family-Size and Religious Orientation among U.S. Catholics
These data are based on a nationally representative sample of 1,028 currently married Catholic women. From a pool of religious items, seven clearly defined factors or dimensions of religiousness were extracted and related to ideal and actual family-size. The results raise the question whether contraceptive practice and fertility may not be as predictive of religious practice as the reverse hypothesis and suggest a possible reinterpretation of the…
