We use the 1980 Public-Use Microdata Sample to consider the relationship between household structure and economic well-being among American Indians. We focus on the total U.S. Indian population and on the residents of 19 "Indian states" where there has been relatively little growth in the Indian population by means of changes in racial self-identification. Using Sweet's (1984) scheme of household types, we find that the prevalence among Indians of female-headed households with children is intermediate between that among blacks and whites, but the prevalence of couple-headed households with children is highest among Indians. Racial differences in the distribution of household types and differences in average household size are important determinants of black-white and Indian-white differences in average household income. 相似文献

Prior research seeking to explain variation in extended family coresidence focused heavily on the potentially competing roles
of cultural preferences and socioeconomic and demographic structural constraints. We focus on challenges associated with international
immigration as an additional factor driving variation across groups. Using 2000 census data from Mexico and the United States,
we compare the prevalence and age patterns of various types of extended family and non-kin living arrangements among Mexican-origin
immigrants and nonimmigrants on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. Additionally, we use the Survey of Income and Program
Participation to examine the stability of extended family living arrangements among Mexican-origin immigrants and natives
in the United States. We find that newly arrived immigrants to the United States display unique patterns in the composition
and stability of their households relative to nonimmigrants in both Mexico and the United States. Recent immigrants are more
likely to reside in an extended family or non-kin household, and among those living with relatives, recent immigrants are
more likely to live with extended family from a similar generation (such as siblings and cousins). Further, these households
experience high levels of turnover. The results suggest that the high levels of coresidence observed among recently arrived
Mexican immigrants represent a departure from “traditional” household/family structures in Mexico and are related to the challenges
associated with international migration. 相似文献

The current official poverty measure compares income to needs within a family. Some have suggested including cohabiting couples as part of this family. Others have suggested that the household be used as the unit of analysis for poverty measurement. I explore issues involved in expanding the unit of analysis, including the stability of cohabiting and other nonfamily household relationships and the degree of resource sharing that takes place among different types of people within households. Instability in households with nonfamily members is not a serious problem for inferring poverty from cross-sectional studies. On the other hand, income from people in nonfamily household roles contributes slightly less to helping other household members avoid financial hardship, implying that nonfamily housemates have a greater tendency to keep income to themselves. 相似文献

The controversy regarding China's historical residential patterns is related to the lack of investigation into demographic influences on past kinship structures and household formation. This study uses computer micro‐simulation to examine demographic feasibility of people living in large multi‐generation households under the demographic conditions close to those recorded in Chinese history. It investigates both the composition of households in which individuals live at a particular point in their life course and the transition in their household structure and the length of time they spend in households of different types. The simulation exercise suggests that demographic regimes and household formation systems similar to those operating in China in the past produce diverse residential patterns, in which individuals could experience different household forms at different stages of the life cycle. 相似文献

This paper explores the strategies for reconciling family and work in different union types. The focus here is on investigating
how cohabiting and married individuals perceive the work-life conflict in different European countries. To test the union
type impact on work-life balance in the context of different societal conditions, this paper draws on 2004 ESS data from Sweden,
Germany, United Kingdom, Slovenia and Estonia (European Social Survey 2004). The pooled country data are examined to analyze
the association between work-life conflict and socio-demographic, as well as family-level characteristics of individuals.
The findings did not demonstrate uniform differences in the work-life conflict of married and cohabiting couples. However,
a higher degree of work-life conflict among Swedish cohabiting women was still significant when controlling for individual
characteristics, household composition and working conditions. 相似文献

This study integrates theory and research on household fission (or partition) and migration to better understand living arrangements following marriage, especially in historically patrilocal and primarily agricultural settings. Using panel data from the Chitwan Valley Family Study to analyze the sequential decision-making process that influences men’s living arrangements subsequent to first marriage, we demonstrate the importance of distinguishing among extended family living, temporary migration, and the establishment of an independent household. We find that community economic characteristics, such as access to markets or employment, as well as household wealth affect the initial decision to leave the natal home. Household resources and use of farmland, along with the young men’s own education, media exposure, travel, and marital behavior, influence the decision to make the departure from the natal home permanent. Our findings explain why previous results regarding household fission and those focused on migration have provided such mixed results, and we establish a new framework for thinking about how families and individuals manage living situations. 相似文献

We consider a two-stage voluntary provision model where individuals in a family contribute to a pure public good and/or a household public good, and the parent makes private transfers to her own child. We show not only that Warr’s neutrality holds, regardless of the different timings of parent-to-child transfers, but also that there is a continuum of Nash equilibria which individuals’ contributions and parental transfers are indeterminate, although the allocation of each’s private consumption and total public good provision is uniquely determined. Furthermore, impure altruism or productivity difference in supplying public goods may not break our results above. 相似文献

This article examines levels of time stress reported by people with and without disabilities. Using data at an individual level from the Time Use Survey for Spain in 2002–2003, we estimate an ordered probit model to investigate the determinants of time stress by disability status. We find that disabled individuals work fewer hours, have more free time and engage in more household labour as compared to the non-disabled. The estimation results show that disabled workers (especially those who are severely or moderately limited in their daily activities) suffer from more stress than their non-disabled counterparts. In addition, longer working hours increase the levels of time stress reported by all individuals, but more intensely so among disabled workers. 相似文献

This paper aims to contribute to the literature on poverty and social exclusion by analysing the type of deprivation of the household where the child lives and the level of deprivation that child experiences. Using the EU-SILC 2009 module on deprivation for Spain, we find that the level of child deprivation varies among household types, that is, even after controlling for the socio-economic characteristics of the household and parents, the lack of certain items at the household level induces a more intense child deprivation. Therefore, we can conclude that there exists an association between child deprivation and the household deprivation profile that surpasses the socio-demographic characteristics of the household and parents. 相似文献

Using data on individuals of age 50 and older from 11 European countries, we analyze two economic aspects of subjective well-being
of older Europeans: satisfaction with household income, and job satisfaction. Both have been shown to contribute substantially
to overall well-being (satisfaction with life or happiness). We use anchoring vignettes to correct for potential differences
in response scales across countries. The results highlight a large variation in self-reported income satisfaction, which is
partly explained by differences in response scales. When differences in response scales are eliminated, the cross-country
differences are quite well in line with differences in an objective measure of purchasing power of household income. There
are common features in the response scale differences in job satisfaction and income satisfaction. French respondents tend
to be critical in both assessments, while Danish and Dutch respondents are always on the optimistic end of the spectrum. Moreover,
correcting for response scale differences decreases the cross-country association between satisfaction with income and job
satisfaction among workers. 相似文献

Household skills provide job skills when tasks in jobs and household production are similar and jobs produce substitutes for
home-made services. Opportunity costs of higher education are foregone earnings during schooling and foregone household production
while studying and later in life. I show that individuals in jobs requiring household skills accept lower wage rates than
traditional human capital theory predicts, and that individuals with low household skills tend to enter higher education.
According to these results, declining household skills may have contributed to the observed increasing demand for higher education
by women.

A longitudinal analysis of household and nonhousehold living arrangements in later life 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Most explanatory models of living arrangements in later life link the decision process surrounding choice of living arrangement to personal resources such as income and health. Applications of these models, however, are based for the most part on cross-sectional rather than longitudinal data. In this paper we examine living arrangements in later life among the nonmarried population aged 55 and over, using data from the Survey of Income and Program Participation. We observe individuals as they change living arrangements, die, or become institutionalized. Our results suggest that economic resources dominate the decision-making process in transitions across different household arrangements, whereas health is most important in explaining institutionalization. 相似文献

A considerable literature documents the deleterious economic consequences of incarceration. However, little is known about the consequences of incarceration for household assets—a distinct indicator of economic well-being that may be especially valuable to the survival of low-income families—or about the spillover economic consequences of incarceration for families. In this article, we use longitudinal data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study to examine how incarceration is associated with asset ownership among formerly incarcerated men and their romantic partners. Results, which pay careful attention to the social forces that select individuals into incarceration, show that incarceration is negatively associated with ownership of a bank account, vehicle, and home among men and that these consequences for asset ownership extend to the romantic partners of these men. These associations are concentrated among men who previously held assets. Results also show that post-incarceration changes in romantic relationships are an important pathway by which even short-term incarceration depletes assets. 相似文献

We examine the effect of anomalous temperatures, rainfall levels, and monsoon timing on migration outcomes in Indonesia. Using panel data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey and high-resolution climate data, we assess whether intra- and inter-province moves are used as a response to climatic shocks. We evaluate the relative importance of temperature, rainfall, and monsoon timing for migration. Only temperature and monsoon timing have significant effects, and these do not operate in the direction commonly assumed. Estimated effects vary according to individuals’ gender, membership in a farm household, and location. We also analyze climate effects on sources of household income, which highlights the multi-phasic nature of household responses. Results undermine narratives of a uniform global migratory response to climate change and highlight the heterogeneous use of migration as a response to such changes. By extending previous research on environmentally induced migration in Indonesia, we also highlight the sensitivity of estimates to alternative climate and migration measures. 相似文献

Whereas prior research focused on the beneficial effects of time spent with others, this study investigated the association between solitary time and mental health by hypothesizing about the possible detriments as well as benefits. Additionally, we studied whether the association between solitary time and mental health was nonlinear and moderated by gender and life stage. We hypothesized that whereas solitary time limits individuals’ access to social resources and support (decreasing mental health), it also helps individuals to recharge (enhancing mental health). We used the Dutch Time Use Survey from 2006 (N = 1,487). Results of Tobit models indicated that more solitary time in leisure (but not household labor) was associated with a reduction in mental health. For men, we did find a negative association between alone time in household labor and mental health. There was no evidence for a curvilinear relationship between time alone and mental health, nor did life course stage appeared to moderate this association. 相似文献

We examined whether sense of freedom is an important predictor of well-being, as compared to other typical predictors, across different periods in modern times (1981–2011), and in the East and the West. We applied a meta-analytical approach to the results of a series of multiple regression analyses conducted on six individual waves of Japanese data sets and five individual waves of American data sets from the World Values Survey. The final sample comprised 6389 Japanese and 6176 American respondents during all study periods. The main findings were that sense of freedom was one of the strongest predictors of life satisfaction (a) among several predictors (i.e., health condition, household income, marital status), (b) consistently across waves, and (c) in both Japan and the United States, as typical collectivistic Eastern and individualistic Western countries. We conclude that the greater importance of sense of freedom in ensuring well-being than other typical predictors is applicable to individuals across time and cultures. 相似文献

This article examines pathways to adulthood among Dutch cohorts born in the second half of the nineteenth century. Although
largely overlooked by previous studies, theory suggests that life courses of young adults born during this period were already
influenced by a process of standardization, in the sense that their life courses became more similar over time. Using data
from a Dutch registry-based sample, we examine household trajectories: that is, sequences of living arrangements of young
adults aged 15–40. Our study shows that for successive cohorts, household trajectories became more similar. We identified
six types of trajectories: early death, life-cycle service, early family formation, late family formation, singlehood, and
childless but with partner. Overtime, early family formation gradually became the “standard” trajectory to adulthood. However,
late family formation and singlehood, tcommon pathways within the preindustrial western European marriage pattern, remained
widespread among cohorts born in the late nineteenth century. Laboring class youths, farmers’ daughters, young people of mixed
religious background, and urban-born youngsters were the nineteenth century forerunners of a standard pathway to adulthood. 相似文献

This article investigates the effect of family life course transitions on labor allocation strategies in rural Chinese households.
We highlight three types of economic activity that involve reallocation of household labor oriented toward a more diversified,
nonfarm rural economy: involvement in wage employment, household entrepreneurship, and/or multiple activities that span economic
sectors. With the use of data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS 1997, 2000, and 2004), our longitudinal analyses
of rural household economic activity point to the significance of household demography, life course transitions, and local
economic structures as factors facilitating household labor reallocation. First, as expected, a relatively youthful household
structure is conducive to innovative economic behavior. Second, household entrances and exits are significant, but their impacts
are not equal. Life events such as births, deaths, marriage, or leaving home for school or employment affect household economy
in distinctive ways. Finally, the reallocations of household labor undertaken by households are shaped by local economic structures:
in particular, the extent of village-level entrepreneurial activity, off-farm employment, and out-migration. 相似文献

In recent years there has been growing interest in individuals’ self-perceptions of their wellbeing on the grounds that these complement well-established objective indicators of welfare. However, individuals’ assessments depend on both objective circumstances and subjective, idiosyncratic dispositions, such as aspirations and expectations. We add to the literature by formulating a modelling strategy that uncovers how these subjective dispositions differ across socio-demographic groups. This is then tested using housing satisfaction data from a large-scale household panel survey from Australia. We find that there are significant differences in the way in which individuals with different characteristics rate the same objective reality. For instance, male, older, migrant, and Indigenous individuals rate equal housing conditions more favourably than female, younger, Australian-born, and non-Indigenous individuals. These findings have important implications for how self-reported housing satisfaction, and wellbeing data in general, are to be used to inform evidence-based policy. 相似文献
