On the Road to Adulthood: Sequencing of Family Experiences Family Profile Brief FP-11-11, National Center for Family and Marriage Research, Bowling Green State University, 2011.

For many, an important marker of adulthood is forming a family—whether having a child, getting married, or cohabiting with a romantic partner. The past twenty years have seen increasing delays in the age at first birth among men and women (FP-11-04) and age at first marriage (FP-09-03) as well as increases in the proportion of young adults who have ever cohabited or are currently cohabiting (FP-10-07). Young adults can have vastly different experiences within this short period in the life course, with variation in the prevalence, timing, and sequencing of family formation experiences. This profile presents analyses of longitudinal data from the National Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97) revealing the various family formation sequences of having a child, cohabitation, and marriage experienced among young adults by age 25. |
