Co-residence of adult children with their parents: differences by migration background explored and explained

De Valk, H. & Bordone, V. (2019). Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, 45(10), 1790-1812 10.1080/1369183X.2018.1485207

Research on majority populations throughout Europe showed strong attachment and exchange of support between parents and their adult children. Studies on migrant families are limited yet needed in light of the increasing share of older people of migrant origin in European populations. One of the main sources of intergenerational support and care is via coresidence of (older) parents and their …

Childbearing intentions in a low fertility context: the case of Romania

Ciritel, A., De Rose, A., & Arezzo, M. (2019). Genus, 75(1), 4 10.1186/s41118-018-0046-6

This paper applies the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) to find out the predictors of fertility intentions in Romania, a low-fertility country. We analyse how attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behavioural control relate to the intention to have a child among childless individuals and one-child parents. Principal axis factor analysis confirms which items proposed by the Generation and Gender Survey …

Childlessness and upward intergenerational support: cross-national evidence from 11 European countries

Pesando, L. (2019). Ageing and Society, 39(06), 1219-1254 10.1017/S0144686X17001519

ABSTRACT Childless individuals are often depicted as ‘selfish’ as they opt out of raising children in favour of investing resources in themselves. Yet no research has investigated whether this claim holds in domains of social life such as intergenerational family support. Using data from the Generations and Gender Survey for 11 European countries, this article examines differences between childless and …

Bargaining over Babies: Theory, Evidence, and Policy Implications

Doepke, M. & Kindermann, F. (2019). American Economic Review, 109(9), 3264-3306 10.1257/aer.20160328

It takes a woman and a man to make a baby. This fact suggests that for a birth to take place, the parents should first agree on wanting a child. Using newly available data on fertility preferences and outcomes, we show that indeed, babies are likely to arrive only if both parents desire one. In addition, there are many couples …

Agency in parents' fertility behaviours—Gaps in the Polish family policy system

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 …

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 …

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 …
