This chapter provides an overview of the section of the text that examines family change. A main theme of the discussion is the emergence of the field of family economics and the importance of longitudinal studies for testing the theories this field has produced. One particular area of discussion is the chapters' contribution to our understanding of the long-term economic impacts of marriage, divorce, and changes in household structure.
