      Abstract: A common pattern in Journal of Comparative Family Studies editorials is to find similarities among articles or ways of grouping them, to indicate their content including key findings, and to highlight their strengths or uniqueness. I will follow that pattern with the caveat that I will describe the issues the articles address but leave it to you to discover the answers the authors provide. I will, however, give you an interesting, “quick fact” from each paper. I have put the papers in this issue into a tripart division: (a) key early relationship events (union formation and having a first birth), (b) families coping with educational stressors due to COVID-19 and (c) the research note regarding the association ...

  • Trends in Partnership Among Afro-Caribbean Women: Generations and
           Destinations Compared

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: This paper contributes to the growing number of cross-national studies on immigrant incorporation (Alba & Foner, 2015; Heath & Brinbaum, 2014; Penn & Lambert, 2009). Part of a larger project on Afro-Caribbeans, it takes co-residential partnership as an indicator of assimilation. Comparing Afro-Caribbean migrants across five destinations, it asks: do the partnership rates of Afro-Caribbean women exhibit cross-generational convergence to the rates of Native White women'In most Western countries, at least half of women aged 15–64 live with a spouse or partner. In the Caribbean, rates vary from about a half to a quarter. Moreover, rates have been declining in both the Caribbean and the West. Of particular concern is ... Read More

  • Educational Gradient in Unintended First Births in Korea

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: It is well established that unintended pregnancies and births are negatively associated with a variety of well-being outcomes for both mothers and their children throughout the life course. For example, other things being equal, a child who is unintended by the mother is at a higher risk of having a low birth weight, dying in the first year, being abused, and not receiving sufficient parental supports for healthy development (Hall et al., 2017). Moreover, in the case of unintended pregnancies and births, the father’s participation in parenting was lower, the mother’s childcare knowledge was inadequate, and the level of marital satisfaction was lower relative to their planned-family counterparts (Bahk et al., 2015; ...

  • College Family Coping and Disruptions During COVID-19: A Consideration of
           the ABC-X Model of Family Stress

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has created multiple complex challenges and stress-ors for college students and their families to navigate. Families have encountered ubiquitous pandemic stressors, including reduced income, concerns about mental and physical health, and changes to social support (Ayuso et al., 2020; Lebow, 2020; Prime et al., 2020). Additionally, within families, young people have been particularly vulnerable to increased stress and mental health concerns associated with the pandemic (Liu et al., 2020; Zhou et al., 2020).Families of college students have also been forced to navigate a disrupted higher education system, characterized by abrupt university closures and transitions to virtual learning (Johnston & ...

  • A Comparative Analysis of Divorce Trends in the United States and China
           since 1980

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: Divorce rate is an important sociodemographic indicator across sociology, economics, public policy, law, and many other disciplines, but it is also an indicator surrounded by confusion and controversy because its alternative measures often yield inconsistent or even contradictory results (Schoen & Canudas-Romo, 2006; Mitchell, 2010; Stanton, 2015; van Vleet & Bodman, 2016; Amato, 2017; DePaulo, 2017). For example, the U.S. divorce rate of about 50%, frequently reported by the media, is actually the ratio of new divorces to new marriages in a specific year and is an inaccurate and misleading measure of divorce rate (Hurley, 2005; van Vleet & Bodman, 2016; DePaulo, 2017). As another example, crude divorce rate (the ... Read More
