Family Diversity and Well-Being

How important is family structure? Does the perception that children of divorced parents suffer hold true under the scrutiny of research? Is the traditional two parent//two child family ideal in terms of well-being? In this volume, two leading family researchers analyze these crucial questions. Using the United States National Survey of Families and Households, they examine the four most common family types - two parent families, divorced mothers with children, remarried families and unmarried mothers - to analyze the impact of family structure versus other factors.Acock, Alan C. is the author of 'Family Diversity and Well-Being' with ISBN 9780803942677 and ISBN 0803942672.
