Women, marriage and family--traditionalism vs. modernity in Albania.

"The aim of the article is to illustrate how the transition from traditionalism to modernity in Albanian society is reflected in the fields of decision-making in choosing the marriage partner, arena of choosing the marriage partner, and factors of importance for harmony in the marital relationship. We also outline the changes in women's participation in productive work, in social and policy life, and in education. The empirical material stems from a survey conducted in Albania [in] 1984. The number of respondents was 1,303. We conclude that there is a strong modernistic tendency both with regard to choosing marriage partner and factors important for harmony. The main feature of the development in Albania is the rapidity and explicitness of changes in attitudes towards marriage and family and in women's position."

Marriage and family systems in Nigeria.

"The study focuses on traditional marriage and family patterns in Nigeria and consequences of change for Nigeria. The study identifies directions of change, rate of change, and the causes of change in marriage and the family. An attempt is made to point out that recent changes in the [status] of Nigerian women may recast marriage and the family in new and different molds. It appears the Nigerian family is moving slowly towards the western nuclear family model."

Marriage and conjugal roles in Swaziland: persistence and change.

"This paper examines one set of relationships central to the Swazi household--marriage and conjugal roles--and how those relationships have changed over the last half century. Information has been analyzed on such topics as types of marriages contracted, the age at marriage, choice of spouse, attitudes towards and participation in polygyny, the nature of conjugal roles, and the question of divorce. This study has drawn upon a wide range of sources including (1) an analysis of civil records from the office of the District Commissioner in Manzini, Swaziland; (2) data collected previously by other social scientists; and (3) survey data gathered especially for this study. The study concludes that while changes have occurred, many traditional patterns of marriage and family continue to be important in contemporary Swazi society."

[Changes in fertility in the Czech lands during the demographic transition].

"The beginning of the decrease of fertility in the Czech Lands can be placed in the first decades of the 19th century...as a result of the declining marriage rate. From the 1880's [on] there was added the restriction of marital fertility which gradually extended to all parts of society and to the whole of the country. There were important regional differences as regards the beginning, duration and end of the decline of fertility. These differences led to the relatively high variation coefficient in the level of fertility according to districts in the period when the level of fertility throughout the country dropped (1900-1930), whereas in the preceding and subsequent periods deviations from the average values were considerably lower."

Patterns and trends of educational mating in Korea.

This study examines the patterns and trends in the association between wives' and husbands' educational attainment during 1950-79 in Korea. Log-linear analysis traces the educational mating of successive marriage cohorts using Korean censuses. The most prominent feature in educational mating in Korea over time has been a rapid increase in college homogamy during 1960-79, which has increased 3 times every decade since the 1950s. This increase reflects the increasing rigidity of the status order in Korea during the 1960s and 1970s. This result is consistent with the conflict perspective which argues that the dominant strata consolidates its class culture though homogamous marriages. From 1970 to 1979 hypergamy increased in Korea, sustaining the traditional marriage pattern while Korea underwent industrialization. Although Korean couples who married during the 1970-79 period have greater educational hypogamy, it is thought to be due to demographic changes in age heterogamous couples.

[[Household formation of young married males in Japan: past and future]].

The author investigates reasons for changes in the rate of household formation by young married men in Japan. "We have constructed a model which explains the change in headship rate, composed with three variables: the proportion coresiding with parents..., the headship rate for the coresiding...and the headship rate for the non-coresiding..., and we have contrived a way to obtain these three variables utilizing the Census tabulations. With this analysis, while the decrease of headship rate during 1975 to 1985 had been brought about by the rise of proportion coresiding and the decline of headship rate for the coresiding, the augmentation from 1985 to 1990 was caused exclusively by the returning decrease in the proportion coresiding."

[More separations than divorces].

"In the Netherlands, the yearly numbers of divorces have been rather stable since the mid eighties. Yet the numbers of separations of couples are on the increase. This is caused by two factors. First of all, more and more women cohabit at some point in their lives....Secondly, cohabiting couples have a much higher likelihood of disruption than married couples. About one in seven women born in 1950-1954 was ever divorced before age 38. If disruption of cohabitation is added to this figure, one in five women born in the early fifties has ever separated. For more recent birth cohorts, difference between divorce and disruption of both marriage and cohabitation is much larger. Of women born in the early sixties, only 4 per cent were ever divorced before age 28, whereas 17 percent of these women were ever separated." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

[Nuptiality of single persons in the Czech Republic, past and present].

"Nuptiality...of single persons in the Czech Republic can be distributed into 3 stages. During the first one specified by the period since World War II until the beginning of the sixties nuptiality...developed in accordance with the European trends.... The second stage started in the sixties and was completed in 1989.... In this stage...the Czech Republic's population started its differentiation of nuptial behaviour as compared to a series of developed countries, where at the turn of the seventies the intensity of single persons' nuptiality has declined while the average age at the first marriage has been increasing. Since 1992 the third stage has appeared in the Czech Republic characterized by declining intensity and growth of marriage age." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND RUS)

[A significant increase in the number of never-married couples with children].

The author reports on the number of never-married couples with children in the Netherlands. "There are 2.4 million families with children, of which about 2 million [are] married couples. According to the 1994 National Household Forecasts these numbers will be nearly constant between 1995 and 2010.... It is expected that in the future the percentage of cohabiting couples that will marry when they want to have children will decrease. This is why the number of never married couples with children living at home will grow by 75% between 1995 and 2010." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
