Is the American family a thing of the past? Nonmarriage, childlessness and divorce are commonplace. This work focuses on adults across the nation who reached 'thirtysomething' in the early 1980s.

This study explores a step that young American adults are increasingly taking - setting up a household alone or with housemates. It examines gender attitudes, ethnic and religious values, and generational relationships which shape the path young people take to residential independence.
