Considers male & female patterns of living arrangements during young adulthood. Grouping females by education at age 18 conditions on an event - high school graduation - likely to influence the timing of future education & living arrangements between ages 18 & 30. Using an increment-decrement multistate life table model data from the 1979-1992 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth are drawn to estimate time spent in each state, as well as number of entries to & exits from each. Results reveal consistent differences between male & females with respect to state durations, entries, & exits. However, the patterns of differences between high school dropouts & graduates vary with gender.
