In this book new mathematical and statistical techniques that
permit more sophisticated analysis are refined and applied to
questions of current concern in order to understand the forces that
are driving the recent dramatic changes in family patterns. The
areas examined include the impact of the evolving Second
Demographic Transition, where complex patterns of gender dynamics
and social change are re-orienting family life. New analyses of
marriage, cohabitation, union dynamics, and union dissolution
provide a fresh look at the changing family life cycle, emerging
patterns of partner choice, and the impact of union dissolution on
the life course. The demography of kinship is explored, and the
importance of parity progression to the generation of the kinship
web is highlighted. The methodology of population projections by
family status is examined, and new results presented that
demonstrate how recognizing family status advances long term policy
objectives, especially with regard to children and the elderly.
This book applies up-to-date methods to examine the demography of
the family, and will be of value to sociologists, demographers, and
all those who are interested in the family.
