Latinas' Transition to First Marriage: An Examination of Four Theoretical Perspectives Journal of Marriage and Family 68,4 (November 2006): 993-1014. Also: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1741-3737.2006.00309.x/abstract Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: National Council on Family Relations Keyword(s): Census of Population; Ethnic Differences; Event History; Hispanic Studies; Human Capital; Marriage National Longitudinal Survey of Youth and census data are used to examine the effect of both individual- and contextual-level determinants on Latinas' transition to first marriage (n = 745). Hypotheses derived from 4 leading theories of marriage timing are evaluated. Discrete-time event-history models that control for clustering within Labor Market Areas suggest that foreign-born Latina and Anglo women have virtually identical marriage trajectories. Analyses further demonstrate that Latinas' individual human capital, and residence in areas characterized by a relatively large supply of single foreign-born Latino men, are associated with higher probabilities of marriage, whereas women's aggregate economic opportunities are correlated with the predicted postponement of first marriage.
