title: Marriage timing of Chinese American and Japanese American women.
abstract: "Using U.S. census data, this study examines the differences in marriage rates and timing among White, Chinese American, and Japanese American women.  An accelerated time model estimates the duration until marriage for each racial-ethnic group while controlling for nativity, education, birth cohort, ancestry, and English proficiency.  Results show that White women have the shortest duration until marriage, with a smaller percentage remaining never married.  Chinese American and Japanese American women delay first marriage longer and have higher percentages of never married women."
