1448 - Race, Gender, and Class Variations in Union Formation

Sat, August 8, 2:30 to 4:10pm PDT (2:30 to 4:10pm PDT), Hilton San Francisco Union Square, Floor: 6th Floor, Nob Hill 10

Session Submission Type: Paper Session (100 min)

Description

Dramatic changes in the timing, duration, and sequencing of intimate relationships have made the study of union formation far more complex today than in the past. Growing heterogeneity in how relationships are formed and maintained highlights the ways that inequality of all kinds shape and reflect our most intimate behaviors, and are fundamental to our understanding of gender relations, class and inequality, demographic change, and health and well-being. This session explores the factors shaping entrance into intimate relationships, cohabitation and marriage, with a focus on barriers and benefits.
