Abstract
Using data from a sample of 7,953 respondents who were living with their biological mothers at Waves I and II in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health), this study examines how family structure transitions during adolescence influence children’s union instability in young adulthood. Findings indicate that experiencing a family structure transition is associated with more union instability in young adulthood. However, when examining the specific types of family structure transitions, results suggest that not all types of family structure transitions have the same effect on children’s union instability.
