Availability of marriage partners in England and Wales: a comparison of three measures

¹Department of Sociology, University of Warwick.

|July 1, 1993

Abstract:

Measures of partner availability introduced by Goldman, Westoff & Hammerslough (1984) and by Veevers (1988) are described and a new measure of partner availability, the Iterated Availability Ratio, is introduced. The three measures are applied to 1981 Census data for England and Wales and their abilities to predict regional variations in age-specific marriage rates are compared.
