Abstract: We used latent class analysis to create family formation pathways for women between the ages of 18 and 23. Input variables included cohabitation, marriage, parenthood, full-time employment, and attending school. Data (n = 2,290) came from Waves I and III of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health). The analysis revealed seven latent pathways: college-no family formation (29%), high school-no family formation (19%), cohabitation without children (15%), married mothers (14%), single mothers (10%), cohabiting mothers (8%), and inactive (6%). Three sets of variables distinguished between the groups: personal and social resources in adolescence, family socioeconomic resources and adolescent academic achievement, and conservative values and behavior in adolescence.

2. Equal Access to Income and Union Dissolution among Mainland Puerto Ricans (EJ686701)
Oropesa, R. S.; Landale, Nancy S.
Journal of Marriage and Family, v67 n1 p173-190 Feb 2005
2005-02-00
Descriptors: Income; Marriage; Puerto Ricans; Interpersonal Relationship
Abstract: This study investigates the implications for union stability of different methods for providing access to income in cohabiting and marital unions among mainland Puerto Ricans. Using the Puerto Rican Maternal and Infant Health Study (N= 836), we show that union dissolution is associated with both union type and type of method. The relatively high rate of union dissolution among cohabiters is explained partially by their lower likelihood of organizing access to income under an equality principle through income pooling. Cohabiting unions that follow the equality principle, however, are as stable as marital unions that follow the equality principle. These patterns are interpreted in terms of the role of economic equality in solidifying socioemotional bonds.

3. The Future of Marriage and Hispanics (EJ686648)
Journal of Marriage and Family, v66 n4 p901-920 Nov 2004
2004-11-00
Journal Articles; Reports - Descriptive
Descriptors: Marriage; Immigrants; Hispanic Americans; Migration
Abstract: At least two important demographic changes will occur in the United States in the future: the growth of the Hispanic population and the growth of the second and third generations among Hispanics. We argue that the expansion of the Hispanic population is unlikely to slow the retreat from marriage, despite the pronuptial cultural orientations of some groups of immigrants and their native-born coethnics. On the contrary, the second- and third-generation descendents of immigrants will join in the retreat from marriage as a result of their exposure to the cultural and economic environment of the United States, as well as changes in the countries from which their immigrant parents originate. Sources of uncertainty about this scenario are noted. Note:The following two links are not-applicable for text-based browsers or screen-reading software. Show Hide Full Abstract
4. Income Allocation in Marital and Cohabiting Unions: The Case of Mainland Puerto Ricans. (EJ679424)
Oropesa, R. S.; Landale, Nancy S.; Kenkre, Tanya

Information Analyses; Journal Articles; Reports - Research
N/A
Descriptors: Cohabitation; Family Income; Foreign Countries; Marriage; Puerto Ricans; Resource Allocation
Abstract: The rise of cohabitation and the growing share of births to cohabiting couples have led to speculation that the boundary between marriage and cohabitation is blurring. Examines this issue with an analysis of the financial arrangements of fathers of mainland Puerto Rican children. Reveals that married fathers are more likely than cohabiting fathers to pool their income. (Contains 38 references, 4 tables, and 1 appendix.)

5. Father Involvement in the Lives of Mainland Puerto Rican Children: Contributions of Nonresident, Cohabiting and Married Fathers. (EJ622064)

Descriptors: Child Rearing; Cohabitation; Family Characteristics; Fathers; Financial Support; Hispanic Americans; Infants; Marital Status; Parent Child Relationship; Parent Role; Puerto Ricans; Unemployment
Abstract: Analysis of survey data on over 2,700 Puerto Rican mothers and infants living in the mainland United States examined the behavior of nonresident, cohabiting, and married fathers in terms of both financial contributions and participation in child care. The results highlight the critical role of employment in father's involvement. (Contains 42 references.) (Author/SV)

Descriptors: Acculturation; Birth Weight; Child Health; Comparative Analysis; Cultural Influences; Health Behavior; Immigrants; Infants; Mothers; Pregnancy; Puerto Ricans; Risk; Stress Variables
Abstract: Analysis of data from the Puerto Rican Maternal and Infant Health Study found that recent migrants to the U.S. mainland experienced fewer stressful life events and engaged in fewer negative health behaviors during pregnancy than U.S.-born Puerto Rican women. Recent migrants also exhibited better infant health outcomes than childhood migrants or U.S.-born women. (Contains 40 references.)

7. Incorporating Origin and Process in Migration-Fertility Frameworks: The Case of Puerto Rican Women. (EJ567886)
Singley, Susan G.; Landale, Nancy S.
Social Forces, v76 n4 p1437-64 Jun 1998
1998-00-00
Descriptors: Acculturation; Age Differences; Birth; Birth Rate; Early Parenthood; Females; Hispanic Americans; Marital Status; Marriage; Migrants; Migration; Puerto Ricans
Abstract: Life history data from both origin and destination areas were used to examine the relationship between migration and fertility among Puerto Rican women. Migration to the U.S. mainland had opposite effects on childbearing for single versus married or cohabiting women. For all migrants, migration played an integral part in the family formation process. Contains 32 references. (Author/SV)

9. Parental Work, Family Structure, and Poverty among Latino Children. (EJ506212)
Lichter, Daniel T.; Landale, Nancy S.
Journal of Marriage and the Family, v57 n2 p346-54 May 1995

Descriptors: Adolescents; Children; Comparative Analysis; Correlation; Economically Disadvantaged; Elementary Secondary Education; Employment; Family Structure; Hispanic Americans; One Parent Family; Parents; Poverty; Whites; Working Hours
Abstract: Evaluates the extent to which differences in the economic well-being of Latino and non-Latino white children reside in divergent parental work patterns and/or family living arrangement. Results indicate that group differences in family structure undermine efforts to eliminate racial and ethnic inequalities in children's economic well-being. (RJM)
10. Nonmarital Cohabitation and Childbearing among Black and White American Women. (EJ495883)

Abstract: Examined childbearing behavior of approximately 733 black and 2,986 white cohabiting and married women at 2 stages in marital life course. Found that, for both first unions and first postmarital unions, rate of childbearing within cohabitation more closely approximated rate of childbearing within legal marriage among black women than white women.
