Age at first marriage, education and divorce: the case of the U.S.A..

"This paper presents an analysis of the determinants of the age of marriage and the probability of divorce among women in the United States." The author hypothesizes that the possibility of divorce enters into women's decision to marry. "As expected, empirical results indicate that in the United States, where it is easier to obtain divorce, women tend to marry earlier. Furthermore, Catholic women tend to marry later....Results seem to indicate the age at marriage and education should not be considered to be exogenous in the study of the probability of divorce. Another important result is that women who marry earlier...show a lower probability of divorce...."

[Italians in Western Australia: an isolated community in a period of aging].

Characteristics of the Italian-born population of Western Australia are examined in light of the state's large size and relative isolation. "After a brief review of the gold rush of the 1890s and the agricultural settlement that followed, the paper examines the evolution in the age composition of the population, the extraordinary rapid turnover of migrants, the predominance of young males among them. Brief comparisons are made with other migrant groups in 1986. The importance of education for the attainment of a good income is examined....[The author finds that] mixed marriages (some inevitable because of the much greater number of males among the Italian-born) enrich both sides culturally but speed up the assimilation process."

Competing hazards with shared unmeasured risk factors.

"The present paper develops a generalization of the standard discrete-time competing hazards model that allows for the types of stochastic dependencies resulting from shared unmeasured risk factors. An empirical example is provided using the process by which young women form their first conjugal residential union, with married and unmarried cohabitation representing the competing alternatives. The results suggest considerable and significant similarity of the alternatives in terms of the unmeasurables. It is also shown that, as a result, the independence assumption leads to substantially biased estimates of the net marriage and net cohabitation survival functions." The data concern a cohort of white children born in Detroit, Michigan, in 1961 and their mothers, followed up to 1985.

A preference for baby girls.

For the majority of women in Japan, a girl baby is preferable to a boy baby, according to recent findings of a fertility survey conducted by the Institute of Population Problems of the Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW). The nationwide survey, carried out in July 1992, found that 75.7% of women would prefer to have a girl baby if they were to have only 1 child--a marked change from 10 years ago when only 48.5% of women said that they would prefer a girl child. Conducted every 5 years, the survey gained responses from 8844 married women under 50 years of age. In giving reasons for wanting a girl child, many women commented that a daughter is more likely to remain closer to parents than a son. The findings of the survey reflect the changes that have taken place in Japanese society in recent years including the emergence of the nuclear family, later marriage, fewer children, and population aging. The survey also found that only 15.2% of marriages currently follow the practice of omiai (arranged marriages), a sharp decrease from 23.6% of 5 years ago. Meanwhile, couples are waiting longer after their first encounter before getting married. According to the survey, couples married during the 1987-1992 period waited an average of 2.97 years after their first encounter, a sharp contrast from the average waiting period of 1.97 years for couples married between 1972-1977. The survey also found that while the total fertility rate has fallen in Japan to 1.50 in 1992 from 1.75 in 1980, fertility for married couples has remained virtually unchanged since 1972 at 2.21.
