Marcia J. Carlson
Professor of Sociology, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USAAbout the author:
I study the formation of couples, fertility, parenting and child wellbeing, particularly among families with unmarried parents. In many of these families, parents have children by more than one partner.
What I want to achieve:
I want to shed light on the new and often complicated family circumstances among unmarried parents. This will help population research and public policy intended to serve low-income families.
