Suwada, K. (2019). Social Policy & Administration, 53(7), 1108-1120 10.1111/spol.12507

Abstract The aim of this article is to analyse the possibilities and decisions made about procreation by Polish parents in the context of the family policy system. Fertility is here understood as a result of individual decisions originating from an assessment of people's situations and potential barriers in parenting. This issue is important because Polish society is facing a severe …

Adult Education, Stratification, and Regime Change: Upgrading and Sidestepping in Russia, 1965–2005

Kosyakova, Y. & Gerber, T. (2019). Sociology of Education, 92(2), 124-149 10.1177/0038040718823192

Adult education influences how labor market opportunities are structured in the later life course. We propose a theoretical framework for understanding the stratifying role of adult education resting on the distinction between two forms of adult education—upgrading and sidestepping: Resources, incentives, and selection processes systematically structure rates of participation. Using educational history data from Russia, we test hypotheses derived from …

A different perspective on exogamy: Are non-migrant partners in mixed unions more liberal in their attitudes toward gender, family, and religion than other natives?

Braack, M. & Milewski, N. (2019). Journal of Family Research, 31(3), 361-386 10.3224/zff.v31i3.06

Classic assimilation theory perceives migrant-native intermarriage as both a means to and a result of immigrants’ integration processes into host societies. The literature is increasingly focusing on marital exogamy of immigrants, yet almost nothing is known about their native partners. This explorative study contributes to the literature on migrant integration and social cohesion in Europe by asking whether the native …

Ayuso, L. (2018). The Sociological Review, 67(1), 226-244 10.1177/0038026118799053

In recent years there has been increased interest in couples Living Apart Together (LAT) within the sociology of the family in Europe. One of the main questions concerns understanding their evolution over time. Given the lack of longitudinal data, the present study focuses as a proxy to study the perception LATs hold of their future and the influencing factors. Based …

Transition from Cohabitation to Marriage. The Role of Marital Attitudes in Seven Western and Eastern European Countries

Žilinčíková, Z. & Hiekel, N. (2018). Comparative Population Studies, 43 10.12765/CPoS-2018-04

Using longitudinal panel data from the Generations and Gender Surveys on 2,847 cohabiters from seven countries, we examine the role of marital attitudes in the transition from cohabitation to marriage and compare the strength of this association between Western and Eastern Europe. We expect a positive attitude towards marriage to increase the likelihood of cohabiters marrying. We also expect the …

The positive impact of women’s employment on divorce: Context, selection, or anticipation?

Vignoli, D., Matysiak, A., Styrc, M., & Tocchioni, V. (2018). Demographic Research, 38, 1059-1110 10.4054/DemRes.2018.38.37

BACKGROUND Empirical findings regarding the impact of women’s employment on divorce are mixed. One explanation is that the effects are moderated by the country context. Another is that previous studies have failed to account for unobserved factors that introduce bias into the estimated effects. Studies also rarely consider possible anticipatory employment behavior on the part of women who are thinking …

The formation of ethnically mixed partnerships in Estonia: A stalling trend from a two-sided perspective

BACKGROUND Ethnically mixed partnerships are often regarded as the ultimate evidence of the integration of migrants and their descendants into their host society. A common finding in the literature is an increase in the occurrence of mixed partnerships across migrant generations. OBJECTIVE This study investigates the formation of minority–majority partnerships in Estonia, with special attention to the variation associated with …

The diverse nature of living apart together relationships: an Italy–France comparison

Régnier-Loilier, A. & Vignoli, D. (2018). Journal of Population Research, 35(1), 1-22 10.1007/s12546-017-9197-0

This paper contributes to the ongoing debate on the nature of living apart together (LAT) relationships by focusing on two contrasting family settings: France and Italy. First, we corroborate the view that being ‘‘single’’ in residential terms does not mean being ‘‘without a partner’’ in relationship terms. To assume otherwise would be an erroneous characterisation of more than one quarter …

Swimming Against the Stream: Non-normative Family Transitions and Loneliness in Later Life Across 12 Nations

Zoutewelle-Terovan, M. & Liefbroer, A. (2018). The Gerontologist, 58(6), 1096-1108 10.1093/geront/gnx184

Background and Objectives: Relatively little research investigated whether experiences during young adulthood have longlasting consequences for older age loneliness. This article examines whether deviations from culturally based scripts regarding family transitions represent risk factors for later-life loneliness. Moreover, it analyzes whether and in which conditions long-term associations between family transitions and loneliness differ across nations. Research Design and Methods: The …

Zimmermann, O. & Konietzka, D. (2018). European Sociological Review, 34(1), 64-78 10.1093/esr/jcx083

t is generally assumed that life courses in European societies have become less orderly and more destandardized in recent decades. Focusing on the family sphere, the article examines to what degree patterns of destandardization are stratified by educational attainment across seven European countries. Using data from the Generations and Gender Survey (GGS) and the National Educational Panel Survey (NEPS) (n …

Regional context and realization of fertility intentions: Are capitals different? The examples of Austria and Hungary

Riederer, B. & Buber-Ennser, I. (2018). Demográfia, 61(5) 10.21543/dee.2018.2

Despite regional variation in fertility, within-country differences have hardly been addressed in the realm of realizing fertility intentions. We address this shortcoming by analyzing the realization of short-term fertility intentions in Austria and Hungary, comparing data from the capitals (Vienna and Budapest) to the remaining regions. Results demonstrate that realization is lower in Hungary than in Austria and lower in …

Naître de parents non mariés n’a pas la même signification ni les mêmes conséquences selon le pays de naissance. Alors qu’il s’agit d’une situation très courante dans certains pays d’Europe, comme en France où c’est le cas de presque 60 % des enfants nés en 2016, elle est encore rare dans d’autres pays où le mariage reste la forme d’union …

In the present paper, we analyze the process of the transition to adulthood in contemporary Hungary. We identify typical pathways, describe them in terms of role transitions, as well as regarding their socio-economic and family background and various outcomes. In order to do so, we regard the transition to adulthood as a multi-dimensional and dynamic process. Using longitudinal data from …

Partnership Choice and Childbearing in Norway and Spain

Abstract Cohabitation has, in a number of countries, become a genuine alternative to marriage. Where this occurs, will we see a convergence in fertility behavior between the two partnership options? We address this question by comparing two societies, Norway and Spain, that contrast sharply not only in the evolution of cohabitation, but also in overall birth rates and public support …
