Marriage and Childbearing of Adults: An Evaluation of the 1992 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth Report, NICHD. Columbus OH: Center for Human Resource Research, The Ohio State University, November 1994 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Center for Human Resource Research Keyword(s): Childbearing; Cohabitation; Data Quality/Consistency; Ethnic Differences; Fertility; Gender Differences; Marital Dissolution; Marital Status; Marriage; Racial Differences This report provides a descriptive overview of the 1992 marriage and childbearing data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth and evaluates data quality based on comparisons to external data sources. Greater emphasis than in previous reports, is placed on reviewing the NLSY marital history and cohabitation data and on examining previously known problem areas such as the recording of birth history information for men. Results reveal extraordinary comparability of the NLSY data to estimates derived from alternative national data sources. These include cross-sectional estimates by marital status and cohabitation status, overall levels of completed and expected fertility, and the timing of marriage and fertility. Typical patterns by gender and race/ethnicity are confirmed for selected marital and fertility comparisons. |
