本文对美国家庭在过去两个世纪中的转变提出了解释。我描述了世纪开始的男性雇佣劳动力的兴起和世纪女性雇佣劳动力的兴起对家庭的影响。然后，我研究了在过去的四十年中，年轻男性和女性的工资劳动机会下降的影响。我对年轻男性的相对收入急剧下降提出了新的估计，并评估了其对婚姻下降的影响。最后，我讨论了经济机会恶化的原因，并推测了技术变革对未来工作和家庭的影响。
This article proposes explanations for the transformation of American families over the past two centuries. I describe the impact on families of the rise of male wage labor beginning in the nineteenth century and the rise of female wage labor in the twentieth century. I then examine the effects of decline in wage labor opportunities for young men and women during the past four decades. I present new estimates of a precipitous decline in the relative income of young men and assess its implications for the decline for marriage. Finally, I discuss explanations for the deterioration of economic opportunity and speculate on the impact of technological change on the future of work and families.
