The I Influence o of P Physical a and S Sexual A Abuse on M Marriage a and C Cohabitation
2004Co-Authors: Andrew J. Cherlin, Linda M. Burton, Tera R. Hurt, Diane M. PurvinAbstract:Using ethnographic and survey data on low-income families residing in Boston, Chicago, and San Antonio, we examine the relationship between women’s patterns of Union formation and their experience of physical and sexual abuse. Both sets of data suggest that women who have been physically or sexually abused are substantially less likely to be married or to be in stable, long-term Cohabiting relationships. The data also suggest that the timing and different forms of abuse may have distinctive associations with Union formation. Women who have experienced abuse beginning in childhood, particularly sexual abuse, are less likely to be in sustained marriages or stable Cohabiting relationships and instead are more likely to experience transitory Unions: multiple short-term, mostly Cohabiting Unions with brief intervals between them. Women who have not been abused in childhood but experience adult physical abuse, however, are less likely to be in either a marriage or a Cohabiting Union, long-term or transitory; and some have withdrawn from having relationships with men. The relevance of these findings for the decline of marriage among low-income women and men is discussed.

Parental divorce and partnership dissolution in adulthood: Evidence from a British cohort study
Population Studies, 1999Co-Authors: Kathleen Kiernan, Andrew J. CherlinAbstract:From a longitudinal survey of a British cohort born in 1958 this study finds that, by age 33, off-spring of parents who divorced are more likely to have dissolved their first partnerships. This finding persists after taking into account age at first partnership, type of first partnership (marital, pre-marital Cohabiting Union, and Cohabiting Union), and indicators of class background and childhood and adolescent school achievement and behaviour problems. Some of these factors are associated with partnership dissolution in their own right, but the association between parental divorce and second generation partnership dissolution is largely independent of them. Demographic factors, including type of and age at first partnership, were important links between parental divorce and partnership dissolution. Moreover, the estimated effects of parental divorce were substantially reduced when the demographic variables were taken into account, suggesting that cohabitation and early partnership may be important pathw...

The Influence of Parental Education on Timing and Type of Union Formation: Changes Over the Life Course and Over Time in the Netherlands
Demography, 2016Co-Authors: Jarl E. Mooyaart, Aart C. LiefbroerAbstract:Family background shapes young adults’ decisions in their transition to adulthood, and the outcomes of these decisions lay the foundation for their subsequent life course. This study examines the influence of parental education on their children’s Union formation. We examine the timing of entry into a first Union (a married or a Cohabiting Union), the choice between marriage and cohabitation, and the timing of first marriage. Data from eight nationally representative surveys conducted in the Netherlands are pooled ( N = 39,777), with respondents being born between 1930 and 1990, to examine not only the effect of parental education on Union formation but also whether this effect changes over birth cohorts, periods, and the life course, and varies by gender. Results from discrete-time hazard analyses show little change in the effect of parental education across cohorts and periods but strong life-course effects. Gender differences in the effect of parental education are relatively small.

Cohabiting Unions, repartnering and mental health
Psychological medicine, 2004Co-Authors: David J. Pevalin, John ErmischAbstract:ABSTRACTBackground. A considerable body of research has established that transitions out of marriage aregenerally deleterious for mental health and some have examined transitions out of cohabitation. Inthis study we depart from these established areas to investigate the effects of poor mental health onthe duration and outcome of cohabitations and on the time to, and likelihood of, repartnering afterboth cohabitation and marriage.Method. Samples came from the British Household Panel Survey, 1991–2001. These were: (1) 447Cohabiting spells; (2) 5571 paired person-years during cohabitation; (3) 508 spells after cohabi-tation; (4) 1197 person-year observations within those spells; (5) 869 spells after marriage; and (6)2736 person-year observations within those spells. Life tables, log-rank tests, multinomial logit andproportional hazard models were used. Mental health was measured by the 12-item General HealthQuestionnaire.Results. Poor mental health increased the risk of dissolving a Cohabiting Union for both men andwomen. Poor mental health reduced the risk of repartnering after a Cohabiting Union but had noeffect on the risk of repartnering after a marriage. Other factors such as past marital status, age andparental status also had significant effects.Conclusions. This study provides evidence that poor mental health during a Cohabiting Unionincreases the chances of that Union dissolving instead of turning into marriage and poorer mentalhealthimmediatelyafteratransitionoutofaCohabitingUnionisassociatedwithreducedchancesofrepartnering.INTRODUCTIONIn contrast to the plethora of studies examiningthe relationships between marital formation anddissolution and mental health, few have inves-tigated the role of mental health in the courseand result of Cohabiting Unions and repartner-ing. In this study we use data from the first 11annual waves of the British Household PanelSurvey (BHPS) to examine the effects of mentalhealth on the duration of Cohabiting Unions, theresults of such Unions (i.e. whether the relation-ship dissolves or turns into a marriage), and re-partnering after the dissolution of CohabitingUnions and marriage.BACKGROUNDAge at first marriage has been increasing stead-ily in Britain since the 1950s. For example, 84%of British women born in 1956 had married bytheir 30th birthday, but this figure was only63% for those born 11 years later in 1967. Thisdecline has paralleled the rise in cohabitationwithout legal marriage. In the 1970s about one-third of first partnerships were Cohabitingrelationships, but by the 1990s this figure hadrisen to about four-fifths of first partnerships.Atthe same time, the ageof firstpartnership hasrisen, for example, from 21 years of age amongthose women born in the 1950s to 24 years ofage among those women born in the 1970s. Inaddition to the sheer increase in the numberof Cohabiting Unions, the rise in the number ofchildren born into such families further adds to

Trying again: repartnering after dissolution of a Union
2002Co-Authors: John ErmischAbstract:The paper uses the first 10 waves of the British Household Panel Survey to study the length of Cohabiting Unions started in the 1990s, and the time it takes to find a new partner for people who dissolved a marriage or Cohabiting Union in the 1990s. It finds that the time spent living together in Cohabiting Unions before either marrying each other or the Union dissolving is usually very short. Seventy percent of people leaving a 'Cohabiting Union' find new partners within five years. This compares with the considerably lower figure of 43% for people leaving a marriage. Older people, whether they have been married or Cohabiting, typically repartner more slowly. Repartnering also happens more slowly for widows and widowers, and for individuals who have custody of a child (most of whom are women).
