“…And with increasing age, the likelihood of remarriage following divorce decreases (Brown, Lee, & Roebuck Bulanda, 2006;Brown, Roebuck Bulanda, & Lee, 2012;de Jong Gierveld, 2004;Uhlenberg et al, 1990;Vespa, 2012). It appears that persons who divorce in later life, particularly aging baby boomers, are choosing to cohabitate with a new partner rather than remarry (Brown et al, 2006;Chevan, 1996) or maintain separate homes.…”

“…Haurin, Hendershott, and Kim (1993), examining data from the 1987 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, find that high rental housing costs result in young adults being more likely to remain in the homes of their parents. Chevan (1996Chevan ( ) uses 1990 Census PUMS data to show that low vacancy rates in local communities increase the likelihood of nonmarital cohabitation among older persons. Kamo (2000) demonstrates with 1990 Census data that living in a higher-cost housing market is associated with an increased likelihood of living in another person's home as an extended family member.…”

The objective of this study is to evaluate an expanded version of the resource model of living arrangements among older persons. This expanded model includes community-level measures of geriatric health services and housing market conditions. We employ the first two waves of the National Survey of Families and Households to test static and longitudinal fixed effects models of residential living arrangements. We find that residing in areas with higher levels of geriatric health care services increases the likelihood of residential independence, net of other contextual factors and individual characteristics. Our results show that housing market conditions are not related to levels of or changes in residential independence when control variables are included in the models. The results for the individual-level resource variables show that persons with greater economic resources, more children, and better functional status are better able to maintain independence and are less likely to die or live in a nursing home. This study shows the utility of expanding on micro-level approaches to understanding community living arrangements among older persons. Future investigations should include measures of the policy environment, transportation constraints and opportunities, and a more complete array of indicators of health and social services oriented toward helping elderly persons maintain their independence.

“…Addressing this issue can correct the bias and provide the actual effects of marriage on salary. Earlier studies point to an increase in consensual unions as typical in urban centers (Chevan, 1996). Also, descriptive analysis shows that the mean age of cohabitants is less than the mean age of married women.…”

Consensual union, also known as cohabitation, has become more frequent in recent decades in Brazil and many other countries. In this context, some studies have analyzed the impact of marriage on women's wages. This article analyzes the effects of marital status on Brazilian women's wages by specifically investigating the individual characteristics of these effects using data from the 2000 Brazilian Census Database. This study concludes that wages differ by up to 15 per cent between married and single women and up to 3 per cent between married and cohabiting women. ResumoA união consensual, também conhecida como coabitação, é um fenômeno que tem sido cada vez mais frequente nas últimas décadas, não somente no Brasil, mas também nos mais diversos países. Ao mesmo tempo, surgiram estudos sobre o impacto do casamento no salário das mulheres. O presente artigo analisa o efeito do estado civil nos salários das mulheres que residem no Brasil. Para tanto, esse estudo utiliza as características individuais para a análise dos efeitos colhidas através do Censo Brasileiro realizado em 2000. As conclusões mostram que existe diferença salarial de até 15% entre mulheres casadas e solteiras e essa diferença é de até 3% entre mulheres casadas e coabitantes.
