  • Descrição: In the last 35 years, marriage, divorce & birth rates have fluctuated widely, suggesting substantial changes during this period in the degree of familism, among other things. For 2 decades the rate of first marriage has been falling. Marriages have been postponed as women increased their Coll attendance & their employment outside the home. Probably this postponement will result in more lifetime singleness. Women who were in their early 20's 2 decades ago had the youngest mean age at marriage on record, & all but 4% eventually married. 20% of the women with graduate school training have remained unmarried, perhaps because they have more optional roles to cultivate & because of conflicting interests between them & their actual or potential husbands. Divorce has risen more rapidly since 1960 among men in upper than lower SE groups. One hypothesis currently being explored is that upwardly mobile men tend to have more marital problems, in view of the high level of marital instability among parents in lower SE levels from which these men have moved upward. No-fault divorce was legislated by the 24th state in 1974. 15% of the children under 18 have ever-divorced parents, & another 15% do not live with parents who are in their first marriage. What constitutes a reasonable amount of divorce is discussed in terms of the available supply of attractive marital partners & the range of coping power on the part of the partners. The number of unmarried older persons who live alone far exceeds that for younger persons. However, the rate of increase in the number of young unmarried couples living together far exceeds that for their older counterparts. A study of living arrangements & other characteristics of persons in relation to the type of community in which they live is being planned. Persons who wish to do something about "the situation" set forth might help to promote better methods of selecting marriage partners; periodic marriage checkups; modernization of marriage & divorce laws; development of more professional child care facilities; & various means of increasing the appeal of a good marriage.
