本研究使用收入动态小组研究中具有全国代表性的纵向数据来研究美国儿童中大家庭的流行率和预测因素，并探讨种族/族裔和社会经济地位 (SES) 的差异。调查结果表明，大家庭是儿童的常见生活安排，35% 的青少年在 18 岁之前经历过这种家庭结构。种族/民族和社会经济地位差异很大：57% 的黑人和 35% 的西班牙裔儿童曾经生活在大家庭中，而白人儿童的这一比例为 20%。此外，父母没有完成高中学业的孩子中有 47% 生活在大家庭中，而父母拥有学士学位或更高学位的孩子中这一比例为 17%。预测模型表明，过渡到大家庭很大程度上是对社会和经济需求的回应。
This study uses nationally representative longitudinal data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, to examine the prevalence and predictors of extended family households among children in the United States and to explore variation by race/ethnicity and socio-economic status (SES). Findings suggest that extended family households are a common living arrangement for children, with 35per cent of youth experiencing this family structure before age 18. Racial/ethnic and SES differences are substantial: 57per cent of Black and 35per cent of Hispanic children ever live in an extended family, compared with 20per cent of White children. Further, 47per cent of children whose parents did not finish high school spend time in an extended family, relative to 17per cent of children whose parents earned a bachelor's degree or higher. Models of predictors show that transitions into extended families are largely a response to social and economic needs.
