    Author: Kiernan KE.
    Journal: J Fam Issues; 1988 Sep; 9(3):298-316. PubMed ID: 12341873.
    Abstract:
    Trends in family characteristics in Britain are discussed using data from official and other published sources. Separate consideration is given to marriage patterns, particularly marriage age and marriage postponement; the rise in consensual unions; fertility and illegitimacy; divorce; single parent families; and location of children under age 18. The effects of the employment situation on families as well as the future of social policies are also briefly examined.
