The Relative Stability of Cohabiting and Marital Unions for Children
Children are increasingly born into cohabiting parent families, but we know little to date about the implications of this family pattern for children’s lives.

These issues are important because ...

Using data from the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, we estimate a fivestage sequential choice model for women’s transitions between single with no prior unions, cohabiting, first-married, re-single (divo...
