Aboriginal marriage and survival.
Patterns of marriage among the aboriginal population of Australia are investigated.  The author attempts to determine "the economic significance of a method of family formation in which child-bearing is an essential component of the process....[and discusses the impact of] change in the micro-economies of Aboriginal households and families."  Probabilities of change in marital status are also considered.  Data are from the 1981 census.
