We investigated the long-term effects of parental divorce in childhood on demographic outcomes in young adulthood, using a British longitudinal national survey of children. Our analyses control for predisruption characteristics of the child and the family, including emotional problems, cognitive achievement, and socioeconomic status. The results show that by age 23, those whose parents divorced were more likely to leave home because of friction, to cohabit, and to have a child outside marriage than were those whose parents did not divorce. Young adults whose parents divorced, however, were no more or less likely to marry or to have a child in a marriage. Moreover, even in the divorced group, the great majority did not leave home because of friction or have a child outside marriage.
我们利用一项针对英国儿童的全国性纵向调查，研究了童年时期父母离婚对青年期人口统计学结果的长期影响。我们的分析控制了儿童和家庭在父母离婚前的特征，包括情绪问题、认知成就和社会经济地位。结果显示，到23岁时，父母离异的人比父母未离异的人更有可能因家庭矛盾而离家、同居并非婚生子。然而，父母离异的年轻人结婚或婚内生子的可能性并没有更高或更低。此外，即使在离异群体中，绝大多数人也没有因家庭矛盾而离家或非婚生子。
