22. Family Formation among Women in the U.S. Military: Evidence from the NLSY

Author

Hickes Lundquist, Jennifer and Smith, Herbert L.

Abstract

Although female employment is associated with lower levels of completed fertility in the civilian world, we find family formation rates among U.S. military women to be comparatively high. We compare enlisted women with civilian women using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (N = 3,547), the only data set to measure simultaneously the nuptiality and fertility of both populations. Using propensity score matching, we show that the fertility effect derives primarily from early marriage in the military, a surprisingly family-friendly institution. This shows that specific organizational and economic incentives in a working environment may offset the more widespread contemporary social and economic factors that otherwise depress marriage and fertility.

Subjects

Abstract

The difficulty of measuring gender relations in surveys by comparing couple responses to survey items on the wife's autonomy in various domains using data from 23 communities in five Asian countries is illustrated. It is established that survey questions are of limited utility for understanding differences in gender stratification across context as the disagreement between men and women varies across communities for reasons that are not easy to explain.
