Home or Alone: The Costs of Independent Living for Youth

We explain the tendency of youth to reside outside the parental household and the decision to share living arrangements with unrelated persons. We depart from the typical demographic analysis of household formation by using a multiequation framework, by addressing sample truncation bias, and by testing for whether marriage and childbearing are endogenous decisions. Household formation should depend on the cost of independent living and the individual's ability to pay that cost. We focus on the role of spatially varying rental costs and use Australian data to test our hypotheses. We find that the cost of shelter influences the decision to reside in a group or alone. We also find that an individual's earnings' capacity significantly impacts both the decision to reside separately from others and the decision to reside outside the parental household. The greatest influence on household formation derives from the impact of marriage and childbearing. The effects of these factors on the decision to reside separately from others have been underestimated in past work that does not account for sample truncation.

Does Being a Parent Affect Suicide Ideology?

The impact of marriage and family life on suicide has been restricted largely to marriage as opposed to parenting. The present article assesses the effect of parenting on suicide ideology. An analysis of national data on 9,778 respondents finds that the greater the parental responsibilities the lower the pro suicide ideology. A sociological model of parenting and suicide is confirmed. Further, bonds to children are found to be more important than bonds to a spouse in explaining the variation in suicide attitudes. These findings were replicated in four separate analyses of widowed, married, divorced, and separated persons. These effects were independent of variables drawn from other models of suicide ideology including ones based on gender and religion.

The Impact Of Marriage And Family Therapy Graduate Training Programs On Married Students And Their Families

Abstract This study investigated the stressors and enhancers associated with being in marriage and family therapy (MFT) graduate programs for students and their families. Results indicated that both trainees and their spouses found the graduate school experience to be significantly more enhancing than stressing. There was no significant difference in the stress reported by trainees with children and in that of trainees without children; however, spouses with children reported the most stress. When time in graduate school was held constant, programs requiring a thesis or dissertation were perceived as more stressful than those with no such requirement.

Ladies, Women, & Wenches: Choice & Constraint in Antebellum Charleston & Boston

Pursuing the meaning of gender in nineteenth-century urban American society, Ladies, Women, and Wenches compares the lives of women living in two distinctive antebellum cultures, Charleston and Boston, between 1820 and 1850. In contrast to most contemporary histories of women, this study examines the lives of all types of women in both cities: slave and free, rich and poor, married and single, those who worked mostly at home and those who led more public lives. Jane Pease and William Pease argue that legal, political, economic, and cultural contraints did limit the options available to women. Nevertheless, women had opportunities to make meaningful choices about their lives and sometimes to achieve considerable autonomy. By comparing the women of Charleston and Boston, the authors explore how both urbanization and regional differences -- especially with regard to slavery -- governed all women's lives. They assess the impact of marriage and work on women's religious, philanthropic, and reform activity and examine the female uses of education and property in order to illuminate the considerable variation in women's lives. Finally, they consider women's choices of life-style, ranging from compliance with to defiance of increasingly rigid social precepts defining appropriate female behavior. However bound women were by society's prescriptions describing their role or by the class structure of their society, they chose their ways of life from among such options as spinsterhood or marriage, domesticity or paid work, charitable activity or the social whirl, the solace of religion or the escape of drink. Drawing on a variety of sources including diaries, court documents, and contemporary literature, Ladies, Women, and Wenches explores how the women of Charleston and Boston made the choices in their lives between total dependence and full autonomy.

Marriage, Parenthood, and the College Enrollment of Men and Women

While much research has documented the delaying effects of education on marriage and parenthood less research has focused on the impact of marriage and parenthood on subsequent education and how this impact may vary between men and women. Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of the High School Class of 1972 the authors find that both both marriage and parenthood affect the education of men and women with marriage being particularly detrimental to the education of women.

To marry or not to marry: a choice

The authors discuss the reasons for decisions to remain single or to marry, particularly for women today. They consider aspects of the life experience of single women and provide a developmental context for women's choices. The authors discuss the impact of marriage on women's lives and point out that marriage increases stress for women. The changing role of women in society and increased reproductive control have given women greater choice about the direction of their lives, including more freedom to make deliberate decisions about marriage.
