在本文中,我们使用收入动态小组研究的数据,以现有的关于离开家到美国不同目的地结婚和独立生活的时间和过程的工作为基础。通过使用事件历史技术,我们发现,在最近的队列中,趋势是更晚离开,尤其是男性。此外,年轻人更有可能离开家独立生活,而不太可能离开家结婚,女性比男性更早离开家去两个目的地。我们还发现,在种族和地区、原生家庭的特征、年轻人自己的收入来源以及失业等背景变量等因素的影响下,离开父母家庭的不同路线是如何构成的,存在着实质性的差异。特别是,我们发现家庭背景特征的短期变化对离开的时间和目的地有重要影响。
In this article we use data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics to build on existing work concerning the timing and the process of leaving home to the different destinations of marriage and independent living in the United States. By using event-history techniques, we find that, among recent cohorts, the trend has been towards leaving later, particularly so for men. Moreover, young people are more likely to leave to independent living and are less likely to leave to marriage, with women leaving home at a younger age than men to both destinations. We also find substantial differences in how the different routes out of the parental home are structured by factors such as race and region, characteristics of the family of origin, the young person's own income resources, and contextual variables such as unemployment. In particular, we find that short-term changes in characteristics of family background have an important influence on the timing and destination of departures.
