To examine demographic shifts and household living arrangements associated with the growing population of children experiencing parental divorce.
Demographic trend evaluation and longitudinal cohort projections analyzing youth under 18 years of age through 1990.
Identified increased proportions of children with divorced parents who are school-aged, reside in single-parent homes, live with a stepparent, live with an unmarried cohabiting couple, or have college-educated parents.
Projected that approximately one-third of all children reaching 18 years of age in 1990 will have resided with a divorced parent, alongside an anticipated deceleration in divorce rate growth relative to the prior decade.
