Three Essays on the Determinants and Consequences of Union Experiences Ph.D. Dissertation, Department of Sociology, University of Michigan, 2021 Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY97 Publisher: ProQuest Dissertations & Theses (PQDT) Keyword(s): Cohabitation; Debt/Borrowing; Health, Mental/Psychological; Home Ownership; Marital Status; Parenthood; Unions; Wealth Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The first paper examines whether the wealth foundation has shifted for marriage and cohabitation formation in the context of the United States by comparing two birth cohorts. The results indicate a rising wealth foundation for both marriage and cohabitation among young adults, particularly in terms of secured and appreciating assets and debt (e.g., home ownership and debt holding). The third paper explores the consequences of union dissolution, specifically cohabitation dissolution, on mental health outcomes, investigating the moderating effects of gender and parenthood. The findings suggest that gender differences in the association of cohabitation dissolution with psychological distress are contingent upon the types of psychological distress under consideration and also reveal that cohabitation dissolution intertwined with non-marital parenthood is harmful to mental health, especially for young women. |
