Marriage and divorce among U.S. populations have been subjects of interest to demographers for decades. While the causes and consequences of divorce have been studied in depth, more recently researchers have begun to focus on the related topics of marital quality, marital instability, and cohabitation, finding that the family and marital life course is closely tied to changes in governmental policy. In turn, alterations in the family and marital life course have consequences for a wide range of health, economic, and psychological outcomes.
The work of a number of PRI researchers speaks directly to these issues. The Marital Instability project is a long-term study headed by Dr. Alan Booth (Sociology and Human Development and Family Studies) investigating marital instability from early adulthood into retirement. Beginning in 1980, the study was based on a cross-sectional national survey of 2,033 married individuals under age 55 who were re-interviewed four times between 1983 and 1997. Dr. Booth, in collaboration with co-investigators Dr. Paul Amato (Sociology and Demography), Dr. Stacy Rogers (Sociology), and Dr. Dave Johnson (University of Nebraska) is initiating a new phase of this study to examine change in marital quality between 1980 and 2000 and the effect of family and marital history on the health of the middle-aged and elderly.
It is well known that poverty is often the outcome of divorce for women and children. Researchers are now going beyond the economic consequences to examine the impact of divorce on measures of psychological well-being. Using data collected in the Marital Instability project, Dr. Valarie King (Sociology, Demography, and Human Development & Family Studies) is examining the ways in which divorce affects children's trust in later life and their ability to form relationships as adults.
While many studies are concerned with the effects of divorce on children, Dr. David Eggebeen (Human Development & Family Studies and Sociology) is currently investigating the consequences of divorce for the divorced parents themselves, in terms of the support they receive from their children in later life. Similarly, Dr. Michael Rendall (Sociology and Demography) is examining how parenting is changing in a divorce environment in a project investigating the decline in intact families and the increases in one-parent and stepparent families in the U.S. using a life-course perspective.
Cohabitation as an alternative to marriage is a growing phenomenon in the United States. Linked to changes in societal values and attitudes, as well as to policy issues, cohabitation is altering the traditional shape of the family. The 2000 Family Issues Symposium, coordinated by Dr. Alan Booth and Ann C. Crouter, will bring together internationally recognized scholars in this area to address these issues.
