Explaining the Effect of Parent-Child Coresidence on Marriage Formation: The Case of Japan
Duke University Press - Tập 53 - Trang 1283-1318 - 2016
Many single adult children in countries around the world live with their parents. Such coresidence has been thought to delay the transition to first marriage, although the exact reasons for the delay have not been sufficiently examined. Using panel data from Japan, we investigate whether changes in never-married adults’ residential status lead to alterations in their marital aspirations, courtship......
Effects of dependency among causes of death for cause elimination life table strategies
Duke University Press - Tập 16 - Trang 313-327 - 1979
A study is made of the effects of associated causes of death, and of dependency among causes of death, by observing the relative importance of one cause of death when another is eliminated under various competing risk models. Two disease pairs, cancer and infectious disease and stroke and ischemic heart disease, are selected for analysis because they represent different types of disease dependence......
Effects of various factors on selection for family planning status and natural fecundability: A simulation study
Duke University Press - Tập 15 - Trang 87-98 - 1978
The effect of various factors on selection for family planning status and for natural fecund ability is studied in a simulation that incorporates a beta distribution of fecundability among women. The mean fecundabilities of current spacers, current limiters, current nonusers, and pregnant women are compared. These ratios are influenced by duration of marriage and by desired number of children. Eff......
Child care demand and labor supply of young mothers over time
Duke University Press - Tập 28 - Trang 333-351 - 1991
This paper uses panel data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) to analyze jointly fertility, employment, and child care decisions of young women over time. As these young women age (from 21 to 25 years on average) they become increasingly likely to have young children, to be employed, and to use nonrelative forms of child care. A multivariate analysis reveals that rising wage rat......
Race and ethnicity in housing: Turnover in New York City, 1978–1987Abstract
This study examines the patterns and predictors of housing turnovers among non-Hispanic whites, non-Hispanic blacks, Puerto Ricans, and other Hispanics in New York City during 1978–1987 to assess whether access to housing is distributed differentially by race and ethnicity. The data are taken from the triennial New York City Housing and Vaca... ...

Worth the Weight? Recent Trends in Obstetric Practices, Gestational Age, and Birth Weight in the United States
Duke University Press - Tập 57 - Trang 99-121 - 2020
Birth weight in the United States declined substantially during the 1990s and 2000s. We suggest that the declines were likely due to shifts in gestational age resulting from changes in obstetric practices. Using restricted National Vital Statistics System data linked birth/infant death data for 1990–2013, we analyze trends in obstetric practices, gestational age distributions, and birth weights am......
A sensitivity analysis of repeat migration attrition in the study of migrant adjustment: The case of Bangkok
Duke University Press - Tập 31 - Trang 585-592 - 1994
Studies of migrant adjustment often conclude that results apply only to remaining migrants. This paper examines the potential bias in using the difference between remaining migrants and natives as a measure of migrant adjustment. The results document that differences between remaining migrants and natives contain bias caused by attrition due to repeat migration. Such bias is small, however, and is......
Including the Smoking Epidemic in Internationally Coherent Mortality Projections
Duke University Press - Tập 50 - Trang 1341-1362 - 2013
We present a new mortality projection methodology that distinguishes smoking- and non-smoking-related mortality and takes into account mortality trends of the opposite sex and in other countries. We evaluate to what extent future projections of life expectancy at birth (e
0) for the Netherlands up to 2040 are affected by the application of these components. All-cause mortality and ......
U.S. Mothers’ Long-Term Employment Patterns
Duke University Press - Tập 56 - Trang 285-320 - 2019
Previous research on maternal employment has disproportionately focused on the immediate postpartum period and typically modeled either cross-sectional employment status or time until a specific employment transition. We instead conceptualize maternal employment as a long-term pattern, extending the observation window and embedding employment statuses in temporal context. Using data from NLSY79 an......
Mortality risks, sequential decisions on births, and population growth
Duke University Press - Tập 9 - Trang 485-498 - 1972
The population growth rates implied by parental attempts to be highly certain of having a surviving son for old-age support are investigated. At life expectancies of 40 to 65 years, family-planning “strategies” using contraception are found to imply markedly lower growth rates (1.01.5 percent vs. 2.5 percent) than are both commonly observed and also previously derived by Heer and Smith. In contras......
