A Profile of Navy Family Configurations

Abstract

A 1 percent sample of Navy members was drawn by random generation of social security numbers from all active duty Navy personnel. Social security numbers were linked to microfiche records of emergency data forms in central personnel files to extract demographic and family information for 5,385 Navy members. Results were compared to similar data compiled in 1980. This comparison indicated that the percentage of members who are unmarried has increased, as has the number of women in the Navy, the number of dual-career couples, and the number of women with civilian husbands. The percentage of married members without children has also increased since 1980. Keywords: Navy families, Family demographics, Single parents, Dual-career couples.
