Abstract
"Using the 1979/1980 Ghana Fertility Survey, the effects of selected social and demographic factors on the timing of marriage were examined. Among the social and demographic factors examined were education, occupation, ethnicity, religion, family structure and birth cohorts. The findings showed the existence of early and universal marriage in Ghana despite the increasing tendency to postpone it. These patterns of family formation in Ghana are influenced by socioeconomic factors such as education, wage employment and urbanization." (SUMMARY IN AFR)
