ABSTRACT

The concept of lifestyle connotes an ideology and set of values that find expression in, among other things, varying combinations of living arrangements and marital status. A recent publication of the Census Bureau prepared by Arthur Norton and his staff provides data to help illuminate changing lifestyles of divorced men and women between 1970 and 1974 by age. Additional data are also provided by age for lifestyles in 1974. The present paper addresses itself to certain aspects of these phenomena.
