Like Mother, Like Daughter? The Intergenerational Transmission of Union Formation Patterns Presented: Philadelphia, PA, American Sociological Association Meetings, August 2005 Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: American Sociological Association Keyword(s): Cohabitation; Intergenerational Patterns/Transmission; Mothers and Daughters Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Research showed that young adult women whose mothers reported cohabitation were 57 percent more likely than other women to report cohabitation themselves. In addition, daughters of cohabiting mothers tended to cohabit at earlier ages than others. Data for the study came from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, a nationally representative survey of people nationwide conducted by Ohio State's Center for Human Resource Research. Men and women aged 14 to 22 in 1979 were interviewed annually from 1979 to 1994, and once every two years from 1996 forward. The NLSY also interviewed these participants' children. This study included data on women in the NLSY who had children who were at least 18 years old by 2000. There were 2,426 of these young adults in this study. |
