Cross-Wave Marital History Aggregated Data

December 2, 2022

The Cross-Wave Marital History Aggregated Data is a user-friendly data file for each panel participant from 1992 to 2018 that summarizes the number and chronological order of all reported marriages together with the start/end dates and transition type if a marriage ended (e.g., separation, divorce, widowhood). The marital history data were aggregated using retrospective reports provided by HRS respondents or their proxy in different waves of biennial core panel interviews from 1992 to 2018.
