Cohorts, Education, and the Decline in Undisrupted Marriages.

Journal of Marriage and the Family, v45 n3 p613-22 Aug 1983

Analyzed the 1972-1980 General Social Surveys to develop models accounting for changes in patterns of marital structure over time. Results did not indicate that the young and least educated contribute disproportionately to increased family instability. Cohort membership and educational attainment must be considered. (JAC)
