Do men's characteristics affect whether a nonmarital pregnancy results in marriage?
Article Abstract:
A number of factors may determine whether men marry when they are responsible for a nonmarital pregnancy. These factors seem to be different for Blacks and Whites. It seems that employment plays an important part in determining the likelihood of legitimation among White men, while the probability of a Black father marrying increases with age. Whether a man lived with his father when he was 14 years old does not seem to have an influence on the probability of legitimation.

The contribution of intermediary factors to marital status differences in self-reported health
Article Abstract:
The effects of health behaviors, psychosocial conditions and material circumstances to marital status differences in self-reported health are evaluated. A regression model is developed using statistical data on 3,510 persons involved in the GLOBE study. Results show that health differences for women are due to excess morbidity among divorced women. On the other hand, never-married, divorced and widowed men have higher morbidity rates than married men.
