Prepared for the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. Among the many transitions young people make as they enter adulthood, marriage is perhaps the most important. This paper uses data from the NLS Young Women's and Young Men's cohorts to examine the transition to marriage and how it differs by sex, testing the extent of variation in the desirability of marriage for men and women, and the effects of marriage market factors and marital and nonmarital roles. The design of the analysis allows the effects of these factors to vary over the young adult years. The pattern of findings suggest that recent declines in the marriage rate have not resulted from increased barriers to marriage but from declines in relative preferences for marriage.

This chapter provides an overview of the diverse ways in which the various dimensions and aspects of child health are now measured, and the sources of those measurements. Since indicators of child health depend on physical and physiological maturation of children as well as age-graded developmental trajectories, the chapter distinguishes measures that are appropriate for children during the prenatal period and the first year of life, for children of preschool ages 1-4, and young school-age children ages 5-11.
