Abstract

In this chapter I discuss the results of the tests of my hypotheses focusing on models dealing with the life course and family development perspectives. Specifically, I discuss the results of the multinomial logistic regression analyses using the data obtained from Wave 3 of the NSFH. I have estimated two models with the Wave of data, as I have already mentioned; one model uses variables relating to the life course, and one model uses variables relating to family structure. Also in each model I used standard demographic variables as controls. I then provide descriptive results using data from the ACS which details topics such as age, sex, race, family and relationships, income and benefits, health insurance, education, veteran status, disabilities, work and journey to work, and expenses related to housing and housing occupancy.
