Family structure in the U.S. and Europe has changed dramatically during the 20th century. Decline of marriage, rising female labor force participation and increasing number of single mothers are three most important aspects of this change. There has also big changes in sexual norms as premarital sex became much less of a taboo. An important part of my recent research has focused on causes of these changes, their consequences for children, income inequality, and social mobility, and how public policies (e.g. social insurance programs) might affect the family. I have also been studying how changes in the family structure alter the way traditional public policies (e.g. taxation, social insurance programs) affect the economy.
