The timeframe over which family change is being examined is vast.

摘要

The timeframe over which family change is being examined is vast. Since six decades are examined in the American context, and since there are so many confounding variables that impact household decisions, one would not expect that crystal-clear empirical links between inflationary monetary policy and age at first marriage, fertility choices, or divorce. Nonetheless, there are significant correlations between factors like money supply growth, home prices, and educational expenditures, all of which have an impact upon household decisions. Further, there are also meaningful relationships between monetary expansion, household debt, and family life. As with the two previous chapters, there are winners and losers from these monetary interventions into the economy, and for those who benefit from these interventions, they maintain traditional household patterns, while those who are worse off adopt non-traditional forms of household life.
