越来越多的孩子与同居父母住在一起。先前关于同居家庭中儿童的物质福利的工作得到了扩展，包括儿童与成年人的生物关系，审查种族和民族差异，并调查物质福利的多种指标。我们利用1999年美国家庭全国调查（N = 34，509）。我们的研究结果表明，儿童可以从与家庭成员共享资源的同居伴侣一起生活中受益。虽然与已婚而非同居父母生活在一起的儿童在物质福利方面较好，但这一优势是由种族和族裔群体以及父母的教育程度造成的。婚姻似乎为白色儿童提供了比黑人或拉丁美洲儿童更多的物质优势。
Increasingly, children are living with cohabiting parents. Prior work on the material well-being of children living in cohabiting families is extended by including the biological relationship of children to adults, examining the racial and ethnic variations, and investigating the multiple indicators of material well-being. We draw on the 1999 National Survey of America's Families (N =34,509). Our findings suggest that children can potentially benefit from living with a cohabiting partner whose resources are shared with family members. Although children living with married rather than cohabiting parents fare better in terms of material well-being, this advantage is accounted for by race and ethnic group and parents' education. Marriage appears to provide more material advantages to White children than to Black or Latino children.
