We investigate how leaving the parental home differs between three countries with different welfare-state and housing systems: the USA, the Netherlands and West Germany. Using longitudinal survey data, we examine the transitions of leaving home to live with and without a partner. We find that, much more than in the European countries, union formation has become separated from leaving home in the USA. We also find a different impact of level of education and employment status on leavinghome patterns in the European countries with their social-welfare state system than in the US system in which market forces prevail. The differences are not just related to welfare-state systems but also to the sizes of the countries and the geographical dispersion of jobs and educational opportunities. 1 University of Amsterdam, E-mail: C.Mulder@frw.uva.nl 2 University of California, Los Angeles, E-mail: wclark@geog.ucla.edu 3 Cologne University, E-mail: mwagner@wiso.uni-koeln.de Demographic Research – Volume 7, Article 17 http://www.demographic-research.org 566
