The purpose of this paper is to examine women's life course transitions over three life domains (fertility, marriage, and education) by considering the following distinct behavioral "processes": marital and nonmarital fertility, getting married (or remarried), getting divorced, and completed education and enrollment status. We provide a more complete description of women's life course during the young adult years by analyzing the determinants of the patterns and timing of these events using flexible conceptual and statistical models which account for their inherent dynamic nature and their jointness. We model a series of simultaneous hazard (and probit) equations in which the endogeneity of outcomes of related processes is incorporated to test a number of substantive hypotheses. The data are from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth.
