Many aggregate-level studies suggest a relationship between economic inequality and sociodemographic outcomes such as family formation, health, and mortality; individual-level evidence, however, is lacking. Nor is there satisfactory evidence on the mechanisms by which inequality may have an effect. We study the determinants of transitions to a nonmarital first birth as a single parent or as a cohabiting parent compared to transitions to marriage prior to a first birth among unmarried, childless young adults in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1997 cohort, from 1997 to 2011. We include measures of county-group-level household income inequality and the availability of jobs typically held by high school graduates that pay above-poverty wages (i.e., middle-skilled jobs). We find that greater income inequality is associated with a reduced likelihood of transitioning to marriage prior to a first birth for both women and men. The association between levels of inequality and transitions to marriage can be partially accounted for by the availability of middle-skilled jobs. Some models also suggest that greater income inequality is associated with a reduced likelihood of transitioning to a first birth while cohabiting.

Recent demographic trends have produced a distinctive fertility regime among young women and men in their teenage years and twenties. Data from the NLSY, 1997 cohort, show that by the time the cohort had reached ages 25-30 in 2010, 83% of births reported by women and 88% of births reported by men had occurred to non-college graduates. In addition, 59% of births had occurred outside of marriage. Moreover, 67% of women (and 65% of men) who reported a birth had at least one child outside of marriage, a figure that rose to 74% among women (and 71% among men) without 4-year college degrees. It is now unusual for non-college-graduates who have children in their teens and twenties to have all of them within marriage. The implications of these developments are discussed in light of differing transitions to adulthood of non-college-graduates versus college-graduates and growing social class inequalities in family patterns.

From the Adolescence to the Young Adulthood: Cohabitation, Marriage and Mobility of NLSY 97 Cohort

Cohabitation and migration patterns of young adults have not been well studied despite the increase in cohabitation. This study used data from the National Longitudinal Study of Youth 1997 to examine the relationship between mobility and union status in early adulthood (16 to 34) while considering important transition to adulthood life events. We performed logistic regression and liner regression to model the probability of moving and the frequency of moving by union status while controlling for demographic characteristics, school enrollment, income, fertility, household characteristics, region and year. Preliminary findings show that cohabiting men and women are more likely to move compared to their married counterparts, while those not in a union fall somewhere in between. The difference between the married and cohabiting decreased after controlling for fertility. Follow-up analyses of the data will examine the interaction between the union status and fertility on mobility.
