Some Women Marry Young: Transitions to First Marriage in Metropolitan and Nonmetropolitan Areas Journal of Marriage and Family 55,4 (November 1993): 827-838. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/352765 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: National Council on Family Relations Keyword(s): Demography; Ethnic Differences; Ethnic Groups/Ethnicity; Marriage; Modeling, Hazard/Event History/Survival/Duration; Rural/Urban Differences We examine the extent to which the timing of first marriage differs for metropolitan and nonmetropolitan young women. Individual-level data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth are matched to local marriage market conditions to estimate discrete time hazard models of transitions to first marriage. Young nonmetropolitan women marry at a younger age than metropolitan women, a difference only partially explained by variations in the attributes of the young women, their families, and the local marriage market. The effects of receipt of public assistance and local mate availability on the transition to first marriage differ for metropolitan and nonmetropolitan young women. |
