Dr. Zang has published “Beyond Lifelong Marriage and Spousal Coresidence: A Research Note on Racial and Ethnic Differences in Late-Life Family and Living Arrangements” in Demography. This study examines how race, ethnicity, and sex shape marital status and living arrangements after age 50. An innovative Bayesian multistate life table approach is employed to reveal different matrimonial patterns of white, black and Hispanic adults, and to investigate how sex–such as the case for female minorities–closely interrelates to an individual’s social and economic security in later life.
