Entry Into Marriage and the Transition to Adulthood Among Recent Birth Cohorts of Young Adults in the United States and the Federal Republic of Germany
Entry Into Marriage and the Transition to Adulthood Among Recent Birth Cohorts of Young Adults in the United States and the Federal Republic of Germany
Working Paper Number: SIPP-WP-128
This paper examines life course events experienced by persons born between 1952 and 1967 both in the United States and the Federal Republic of Germany. The emphasis lies on the relationship between labor force integration, the process of completing one's education and moving into the work force, and entry into marriage. A comparative approach is particularly appropriate, as the mode of labor force integration in each country is quite different (formal training tied to specific occupations and well-defined career paths in West Germany vs. on-the-job training with considerable mobility between career paths in the United States).
