Delayed Childbearing, Childlessness and Marital Disruption

Abstract

Using data from the June 1985 [U.S.] Current Population Survey this paper examines the relation between delayed childbearing and childlessness and marital dissolution among white and black women married at least five years; marital dissolution is measured by separation. Results of a multivariate analysis indicate that among whites those having their first birth while married have a reduced risk of separation whereas childless women and those having a premarital first birth have an increased risk of separation....Differentials in marital dissolution occur among other subgroups of the population (e.g. age at first birth and to a lesser extent education).
