  • The postponement of marriage, socioeconomic stratification, and the decline in economic growth

    This chapter examines the hypothesis that the decline in the economic growth rate has crucial impact on the postponement of marriage since the mid-1970s. If this is the case, such macroeconomic change, expanding economic opportunity differentials associated with socioeconomic stratification, decreases the likelihood of marriage among young men in a relatively lower position, and thus causes delayed marriage for young women, under the circumstance of persistent gender-role segregation in Japan. Firm empirical support for these hypotheses is found in the analyses using data from the 1998 National Family Research and discrete-time logit models with time-dependent covariates including economic growth rate. (1) The decline in the economic growth rate decreases the likelihood of marriage among men in their early 30s and among women in their 20s. (2) The effect of higher education delaying marriage works only in their early 20s among men and women. (3) Occupation yields differentials in the likelihood of marriage among men aged 20-34 and women aged 30-34. But this effect of occupation is eased by a high economic growth rate due to an interaction effect between these two variables.

  • Effect of Childhood Family Structure on the First Union Formation and its Cohort Variations: An Analysis of U.S. Family Change using NSFH Data

    Language:Japanese   Publishing type:Research paper (scientific journal)   Publisher:Japan Society of Family Sociology  

    The association between childhood family structure and first union formation has been explained by two hypotheses. A socialization hypothesis maintains that those who lived in no-father families in early childhood delay marriage because of insufficient internalization of traditional sex roles and norms. A stress hypothesis argues that the transition to one-parent family and/or stepfamily force children and adolescents out of their families into a premature assumption of adult roles. This study examines these hypotheses using data from National Survey of Families and Households and Cox regression models. Overall, my findings support both hypotheses. Due to interaction effects between family structure variables and birth cohorts, however, the validity of these hypotheses depends on the cohort of sample to be analyzed. The socialization hypothesis accounts for the marital timing of baby boom cohort and cohabitation timing of baby bust cohort. On the other hand, the stress hypothesis accounts for the marital timing of baby boom cohort, and cohabitaton timing of both baby boom and baby bust cohorts. The sources of these interaction effects can be found in the relationships between family structure variables and macro variables such as cohort size and divorce rate.
