Mediating Factors of Family Structure and Early Home-leaving: A Replication and Extension of van den Berg, Kalmijn, and Leopold (2018)

摘要: Young adults from non-intact families are more likely to leave the parental home at an early age than young intact families. While this association is well established in existing literature, underling mechanisms remain puzzling. In a recent investigation with prospective data SOEP (van den Berg et al. Eur J Popul 34(5):873–900, 2018. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10680-017-9461-1 ), large share of effect family structure on home-leaving remained unexplained, particular for stepfamilies. This study draws longitudinal German Family Panel (pairfam) replicate and extend analyses van (Eur https://doi.org/10.1007/s10680-017-9461-1 ). The quality stepfather–child relationship, as monitoring support, added analyses. However, extended assessment social resources does not seem substantially help explain between home-leaving.
