Abstract	This report examines trends in the well-being of Hawaii's families during the 1990s. Section 1 provides an overview of several demographic characteristics of Hawaii's families, including mean age at first marriage, percent of marriages involving spouses of different ethnicity, percent of families with more than two generations in household, divorce rate, family morale, and family aspirations for children. Sections 2 through 6 present trends in the following areas of well-being: (1) financial security, including percent of workforce working more than 40 hours, poverty rate, and housing affordability index; (2) health and safety, including adults participating in regular physical activity, adults with health insurance, children without adult supervision following school, adult chronic health conditions, and adults' substance use; (3) education and achievement, including school attendance, percent of youth with average or above reading scores, educational level, and school volunteers; (4) social conditions and community engagement, including perceptions of neighborhood safety, voting rates, tax allocation, adult attendance at religious services, and volunteerism; and (5) family relationships, including percent of families eating together most of the time, contact with extended family, family engagement in cultural practices, and family violence. For each characteristic presented, the relevant indicator is defined, the trend from 1990 to the late 1990s is described and presented graphically, and relevant county comparisons are made. The report concludes with information on data sources and technical notes. (KB)
