The Timing of Family Formation: Structural and Societal Factors in the Asian Context.

Rindfuss, Ronald R.; Hirschman, Charles

Journal of Marriage and the Family, v46 n1 p205-14 Feb 1984

Studied the timing of family formation in four Asian countries: Taiwan, Korea, Thailand, and Malaysia (N=14,849), and the operation of sociostructural variables in these societies. Results indicated that education and rural-urban origins have the same effect on the timing of family formation in each of these countries. (LLL)
