Family Structure and the Reproduction of Inequality: A Decomposition Approach Presented: Boston MA, Population Association of America Annual Meeting, May 2014 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Educational Attainment; Family Structure; Intergenerational Patterns/Transmission; Socioeconomic Background Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Over the past fifty years, family patterns have become more diverse by social class, raising concerns about the role of family structure in the reproduction of inequality. The aim of the present study is to provide a direct test of the extent to which differences in family structure by social class explain class differences in children’s educational attainment at the population level. Using data from the NLSY97 and decomposition models, this study addresses whether differences in children’s educational attainment by parents’ social class are attributable to class differences in family structure, as well as how much of this “family structure effect” is due to class differences in family structure composition versus class differences in the association between family structure and children’s attainment. In doing so, this study sheds light on how the organization of family life serves to perpetuate and exacerbate economic inequality across generations.

2.	Family Structure History and Young Adults' Receipt of Financial Assistance for College Presented: Boston MA, Population Association of America Annual Meeting, May 2014 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): College Education; Family Influences; Family Structure; Financial Assistance; Transition, Adulthood Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. As youth take longer to transition to adulthood, families are being called on to support their children well past adolescence. High rates of single parenthood and family disruption may be interfering with families’ ability to provide this support. In the present study, I examine the association between young adults’ family structure history and their receipt of a particularly important resource from their family--financial assistance for college. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 cohort (N = 3,081), I describe how young adults’ family structure history relates to their receipt of college assistance from their family, as well as which family members--including biological parents, stepparents, grandparents, and other relatives--provide this support. This study makes an important contribution to our understanding of how the structure and stability of the family of origin continue to shape children’s life chances even as they enter adulthood.

3.	The Long Reach of Families: Family Structure History, Parental Support, and the Reproduction of Inequality in Young Adulthood Ph.D. Dissertation, Department of Sociology, University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2015 Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY79 Young Adult, NLSY97 Publisher: ProQuest Dissertations & Theses (PQDT) Keyword(s): Divorce; Educational Attainment; Family Structure; Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study; Intergenerational Patterns/Transmission; Marital History/Transitions; Parent-Child Relationship/Closeness; Socioeconomic Status (SES) Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This project is composed of three empirical chapters. The first chapter uses matched mother-child data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 cohort (NLSY79) to describe the association between young adults' family structure and their emotional closeness to their parents. The second chapter uses data from a sample of college students from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 cohort (NLSY97) to evaluate the association between students' family structure and their receipt of financial assistance for college. Finally, the third chapter uses data from the NLSY97 to evaluate whether differences in family structure by parents' socioeconomic status can account for socioeconomic disparities in young adults' educational attainment at the population level. Taken together, these chapters document how family structure continues to matter for children's wellbeing as they embark on their adult lives, and they add new evidence to the debate about the importance of family structure for intergenerational mobility.
