Although much recent research has explored the division of household labor between husbands and wives, few studies have examined housework patterns across marital statuses. This paper uses data from National Survey Families Households to analyze differences in time spent on by men women six different living situations: never married with parents, independently, cohabiting, married, divorced, widowed. In all situations, spend more than doing housework, but gender gap is widest among persons....

This article links longitudinal data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics with information on respondents' census tracts to examine patterns annual residential mobility between poor and nonpoor neighborhoods. Education marriage increase likelihood leaving tracts, while age, home ownership, receiving public assistance reduce it. Blacks are substantially less likely than whites escape more move into them, even after socioeconomic status is controlled. Residential segregation by race poverty...

The authors draw on three different data sources to explore the effects of quantity and quality potential remarriage partners available in local marriage market risk marital dissolution. First from National Survey Families Households are used demonstrate that among recently-divorced couples a substantial percentage husbands wives had been romantically involved with someone other than their spouse prior divorcing. Then microlevel Longitudinal Youth merged aggregated Public Use Microdata US...

We use data from the [U.S.] Panel Study of Income Dynamics to explore patterns and determinants residential mobility between census tracts with varying racial composition. Among both blacks whites age home ownership being married having children are all inversely related probability moving tract origin. Conditional on higher socioeconomic status increases likelihood a `whiter tract.... Blacks exhibit low rates into white but high out while reverse streams dominate among whites. (EXCERPT)

Using data from the young and mature women samples of National Longitudinal Survey, this paper examines how determinants divorce (and separation) vary by duration marriage. In general, we find little evidence that strength previously identified predictors varies marital duration. Variables such as race, wife's labor force participation, husband's employment, urban residence seem to influence probability divorce, irrespective stage in life course. The principal exception finding is effect...

Using longitudinal data from the National Survey of Children, we examined impact community socioeconomic status on four dimensions adolescent and young adult premarital sexual activity—the timing first intercourse, frequency number different sex partners, likelihood engaging in unprotected intercourse. We found significant positive effects a multiitem index disadvantage all but net controls for demographic adolescents their families. None most commonly cited explanations neighborhood...

The impetus to write this book grew out of curiosity and frustration. For a research project in which I was involved, wanted select an appropriate index measure inequality, so searched for that comprehensively reviewed the available indexes, identified their operational similarities differences, clarified theoretical undetpinnings. Discovering no such existed, became increasingly frustrated curious. It evident would have undertake my own systematic review literature, presumably discipline,...

Using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics and three U.S. censuses, we examine how composition extralocal areas—areas surrounding a householder's neighborhood residence—shapes likelihood that Whites will move out their neighborhoods. Net local conditions other predictors residential mobility, high concentrations minorities in neighborhoods reduce move, presumably by reducing attractiveness nearby alternatives. Notably, this effect also suppresses influence racial immediate on White...

Data from over 25,000 respondents of the Annual Housing Survey are used to examine racial differences in levels and determinants residential mobility between 1979 1980. Cross small, but adjusting for home ownership other sociodemographic characteristics reveals that, net these factors, blacks significantly less likely than nonblacks change residence a given year. Both black nonblack influenced by life-cycle housing characteristics, features metropolitan area, there clear mobility. Home is an...

Focusing on micro-level processes of residential segregation, this analysis combines data from the Panel Study Income Dynamics with contextual information three censuses and several other sources to examine patterns mobility between neighborhoods populated by different combinations racial ethnic groups. We find that despite emergence multiethnic neighborhoods, stratified dynamics continue dominate, relatively few black or white households moving into could be considered multiethnic. However,...

Using data on interracial marriage and violent crime for a sample of 25 metropolitan communities, this article tests several hypotheses derived from Blau's theory social structure. Consistent with theoretical predictions, moderate, positive correlations are found between rates crime. The also explores the relationship dimensions structure identified by Blau-group size, heterogeneity, intergroup inequality ("consolidation"), segregation-and these two forms association.

The percentage of young American adults residing in their parents’ home has increased markedly over recent years, but we know little about how sociodemographic, life-course, and parental characteristics facilitate or impede leaving returning home. We use longitudinal data from the Panel Study Income Dynamics’ Transition into Adulthood survey to examine determinants among youth who turned age 18 between 2005 2011. Findings event-history models show that while is some extent a function...

We use longitudinal data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, in conjunction with decennial census data, to examine impact neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage on young women's risk premarital childbearing and timing their transition first marriage. Discrete-time event-history models reveal that, among black women, has little childbearing, but a significant nonlinear effect probability marriage prior birth. Among white as increases, rates rise nonlinearly, linearly. The effects...

While prior research demonstrates that living in a socioeconomically disadvantaged neighborhood increases young women's risk of premarital childbearing few studies have explored the mechanisms account for this effect. And tested Wilson's (1987) hypothesis pronounced racial difference can be attributed largely to differences environments. Using longitudinal data from National Survey Children, we find over one-third positive effect socioeconomic disadvantage on timing first birth attitudes and...
