This project will use a life course perspective informed by economic theory to address the challenging issue of how young men's transitions into fatherhood, stable unions, and employment are sequenced and linked. Our focus will be on the first transition into biological fatherhood in conjunction with the other transitions that often occur at this stage in the life course: completing education, entry into the labor force, and entry into stable unions. The analyses will focus on describing what the sequences of these transitions are among young men and explore the reciprocal effects of transitions into work, marriage, and cohabitation on the timing of the transition into biological fatherhood. A multidisciplinary team of researchers will examine this issue using nationally representative longitudinal data sets including The National Longitudinal Survey of Adolescent Health (Add Health), the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97), the National Survey of Adolescent Males 1988 (NSAM), and the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY79). These surveys include samples of young men at different ages during different time periods. The project has three specific aims: (1) To describe the normative sequences of these various and interrelated work and family transitions for different subgroups of young men. (2) To model the joint effects of workforce and romantic union milestones and entry into first births, both within and outside marriage, among men. (3) To examine contextual, cohort and gender differences in the sequencing of these transitions and in the results of the joint models.

该项目将采用经济理论指导的生命历程视角来解决年轻人向父亲身份、稳定婚姻和就业的过渡如何排序和联系的挑战性问题。我们的重点将是第一次过渡到亲生父亲身份，以及生命历程中这一阶段经常发生的其他过渡：完成教育、进入劳动力市场和进入稳定的婚姻。分析将重点描述年轻男性中这些转变的顺序，并探讨工作、婚姻和同居的转变对转变为亲生父亲的时间的相互影响。一个多学科研究小组将使用具有全国代表性的纵向数据集来研究这个问题，包括全国青少年健康纵向调查（Add Health）、1997 年全国青少年纵向调查（NLSY97）、1988 年全国青少年男性调查（NSAM）、以及 1979 年全国青年纵向调查 (NLSY79)。这些调查包括以下地点的年轻男性样本： 不同时期不同年龄。该项目有三个具体目标： (1) 描述不同年轻男性亚群的这些不同且相互关联的工作和家庭转变的规范顺序。 (2) 模拟劳动力和恋爱关系里程碑以及男性婚内和婚外第一胎的共同影响。 (3) 检查这些转变的顺序和联合模型的结果中的背景、队列和性别差异。
