Cohort marriage and divorce in five Western countries.

An analysis of cohort trends in family formation and dissolution in five Western countries during the twentieth century is presented. The countries concerned are the United States, England and Wales, Belgium, Sweden, and Switzerland. "To obtain the indicators of family formation and dissolution used in this study, male and female cohort marital status life tables were constructed in each of the five countries for single year cohorts born between the years 1888 and 1945." Consideration is also given to the impact of changes in mortality. Data are from official sources. This is a revised version of a paper originally presented at the 1983 Annual Meeting of the Population Association of America (see Population Index, Vol. 49, No. 3, Fall 1983, pp. 384-5).

[Kooy's explanation of the drop in the marriage age in the Netherlands between 1958 and 1968].

A critique of an article by G. A. Kooy on reasons for the declining age at marriage in the Netherlands is presented. The author argues first "that a normative change does not in itself constitute the cause of a behavioural change: both changes ought to be related to a common determinant; second, that patrism and matrism, being two alternative ways of managing an Oedipal tension, do not constitute a social process and hence cannot explain social change."

[Description of a marital mobility model and its application to Quebec].

"The marital mobility model allows for the simultaneous study of the formation and break-up of couples in a given cohort. The model is equally suited for longitudinal and for period analysis. Its essential feature is the construction of a multiple status life table that deals either with initial status changes or with successive ones. Preliminary results obtained for Quebec indicate that, in recent generations, individuals marry less and divorce more; at the same time the prevalence of cohabitation and the number of births out of wedlock both continue to increase."

Literacy transition and female nuptiality: implications for fertility in Pakistan.

"This paper is an attempt to examine trends and differentials in education and age at marriage of males and females [in Pakistan] and then relate the two variables to one important aspect of demographic behaviour, namely fertility, and evaluate the implication of these relationships on reduction of fertility in Pakistan." The data are from the 1981 census and the 1979-1980 Population, Labour Force and Migration (PLM) Survey. "Given the limitations of the survey data which pertain to a sample of ever-married women between the ages of 15 and 49 years, the main conclusions of the study are that a rise in female age at marriage and education at secondary and higher levels are important in affecting fertility levels." Policy implications of the findings are discussed. Comments by Akhtar Hasan Khan are included (pp. 601-3).

Socio-economic variables influencing mean age at marriage in Karnataka and Kerala.

"In this paper an attempt was made to study the influence of certain socio-economic variables on the male and the female age at marriage in Karnataka and Kerala [India] for the year 1971. Step-wise regression method has been used to select the predictor variables influencing mean age at marriage. The results reveal that percent female literate...and percent female in labour force...are found to influence female mean age at marriage in Kerala, while the variables for Karnataka were percent female literate..., percent male literate..., and percent urban male population...."
