Gendered Transitions to Adulthood by College Field of Study Presented: Washington DC, Population Association of America Annual Meeting, March-April 2016 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): College Graduates; College Major/Field of Study/Courses; Gender Differences; STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics); Transition, Adulthood Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. College graduates' experiences in the labor market are stratified by field of study, and field of study in turn determines the timing of transitions to marriage and parenthood. We use the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1997 Cohort to investigate gendered influences of college field of study on transitions to a series of adult roles, including full-time work, marriage, and parenthood. Among men majoring in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM), we find evidence of role complementarity, with early achievement of full-time work accompanied by earlier family formation. By contrast, women majoring in STEM reap fewer rewards with respect to finding full-time work, and delay marriage and childbearing. Women in business demonstrate role complementarity similar to that of men majoring in STEM. The contrast between women in STEM and business suggests that women's decisions regarding marriage and parenthood do not respond uniformly to the economic prospects of their work.

Gendered Transitions to Adulthood by College Field of Study in the United States Demographic Research 35, Article 31 (July-December 2016): 929-960. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/26332099 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research Keyword(s): College Graduates; College Major/Field of Study/Courses; Gender Differences; Marriage; Parenthood; STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics); Transition, Adulthood Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Objective: The current study examines gendered influences of college field of study on transitions to a series of adult roles, including full-time work, marriage, and parenthood. Methods: We use Cox proportional hazards models and multinomial logistic regression to examine gendered associations between field of study and the three transitions among college graduates of the NLSY97 (National Longitudinal Survey of Youth) cohort. Results: Men majoring in STEM achieve early transitions to full-time work, marriage, and parenthood; women majoring in STEM show no significant advantage in finding full-time work and delayed marriage and childbearing; women in business have earlier transitions to full-time work and marriage than women in other fields, demonstrating an advantage similar to that of men in STEM. |

Estimates and Meanings of Marital Separation Journal of Marriage and Family 77,1 (February 2015): 312-322. Also: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jomf.12149/abstract Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Blackwell Publishing, Inc. => Wiley Online Keyword(s): Divorce; Marital History/Transitions; Marital Status; National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG); Research Methodology Marital separation is an informal transition that may precede or substitute for divorce. Various surveys collect data on marital separation, but the data have produced mixed estimates. The authors used data from the 1995 and 2006 waves of the National Survey of Family Growth (N=2,216) and the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1979 cohort (NLSY79; N=1,990) to examine separations among women born between 1961 and 1965. In the National Survey of Family Growth, separations were typically short and followed by divorce. In the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1979 cohort, separations were longer and less likely to end in divorce. The authors relate these discrepancies to differences in study design, question universe, and question wording between the 2 surveys and show that different measures of separation lead to different conclusions about educational and racial/ethnic inequalities in the trajectories of marital disruption. |

Meanings and Measures of Marital Separation Presented: Boston MA, Population Association of America Annual Meeting, May 2014 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Marital Disruption; Marital Status; National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Marital separation is an informal disruption of a marriage that may precede or substitute for a divorce. Data on marital separation have been collected from community and nationally representative samples, but the differences among measures of separation have not been examined. Our study analyzes the prevalence, resolution and duration of marital separations among ever-married women born between 1961 and 1965, using data from nationally representative cross-sectional and longitudinal surveys. Many women report living apart from their first husband, but inferring separations from data on when couples stop living together overestimates marital separations relative to a longitudinal measure that lets respondents define “separation” themselves. Retrospective and longitudinal measures produce different estimates of the proportion of separations ending in divorce, and of separations’ median duration. These discrepancies point to a gap between people’s experience of living apart from their spouse and their perception of separation as a distinct marital state. |
