When Paid Work Matters for Fertility Intentions and Subsequent Behavior: Evidence from Two Waves of the Austrian Gender and Generation Survey

Hanappi, D. & Buber-Ennser, I. (2017). Comparative Population Studies, 42 10.12765/CPoS-2017-15

The anticipated risk of job loss and material insecurity are related to fertility postponement in the same way as unemployment is. Given the sequential nature of fertility and occupational decisions, unfavorable working conditions should be resolved before having children, and result in an increase in people’s assignment of importance to paid work when developing their childbearing plans. We aim to …

The transition to adulthood and pathways out of the parental home: A cross-national analysis

Schwanitz, K. (2017). Advances in Life Course Research, 32, 21-34 10.1016/j.alcr.2017.03.001

This study uses the second Wave of the Generations and Gender Survey (GGS) to examine young adults’ transition to adulthood in eight European countries (Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, France, Georgia, Hungary, Lithuania, and the Netherlands). I use reconstructed life courses from age 18 to 34 (N = 21,696) to simultaneously study key life course trajectories employing multichannel sequence analysis. In …

The Influence of Parental Educational Attainment on the Partnership Context at First Birth in 16 Western Societies

Koops, J., Liefbroer, A., & Gauthier, A. (2017). European Journal of Population, 33(4), 533-557 10.1007/s10680-017-9421-9

Abstract In the US, growing up with parents with a low socio-economic status (SES) has been shown to increase the chance of having a birth outside marriage. However, less is known about the influence of parental SES in other Western countries. The current paper examines the association between parental educational attainment with the partnership context at first birth in 16 …

Rising Rates of Cohabitation and the Odds of Repartnering: Does the Gap Between Men and Women Disappear?

Kreidl, M. & Hubatková, B. (2017). Journal of Divorce & Remarriage, 58(7), 487-506 10.1080/10502556.2017.1343580

Men are more likely to repartner than women. This pattern might reflect gender disparities in barriers to repartnering. When rates of cohabitation increase, the gender disparity might shrink, as cohabitation is a less institutionalized form of coresidential partnership and therefore has lower entry barriers in comparison to marriage. Using event-history models applied to Czech data from the Generations and Gender …

Power and the gendered division of contraceptive use in Western European couples

Dereuddre, R., Buffel, V., & Bracke, P. (2017). Social Science Research, 64, 263-276 10.1016/j.ssresearch.2016.10.004

Recent research has approached contraceptive use, or “fertility work”, as another household task that is primarily managed by women. Building on the theoretical frameworks of relative resource theory and gender perspectives, this study investigates the association between partners’ power (measured as their relative education, division of housework and decision-making) and the choice of male versus female, or no contraception. Data …

Partnership Trajectories of Mothers without a Co-residential Partner

Morávková, H. & Kreidl, M. (2017). Czech Sociological Review, 53(4), 565-592 10.13060/00380288.2017.53.4.358

We investigate partnership transitions of mothers who had no coresidential partner at the time of birth of their first child (‘solo mothers’). Using retrospective partnership and co-residence histories from the Czech 2005 GGS, we investigate mothers’ entry into the first subsequent co-residential partnership using event history methods. We test several hypotheses derived from the individualisation theory. While approximately one half …

Parental separation and children’s education in a comparative perspective: Does the burden disappear when separation is more common?

Kreidl, M., Štípková, M., & Hubatková, B. (2017). Demographic Research, 36, 73-110 10.4054/DemRes.2017.36.3

BACKGROUND Parental breakup has, on average, a net negative effect on children’s education. However, it is unclear whether this negative effect changes when parental separation becomes more common. OBJECTIVE We studied the variations in the effect of parental separation on children’s chances of obtaining tertiary education across cohorts and countries with varying divorce rates. METHOD We applied country and cohort …

Measuring Individual Material Well-Being Using Multidimensional Indices: An Application Using the Gender and Generation Survey for Russia

Popova, D. & Pishniak, A. (2017). Social Indicators Research, 130(3), 883-910 10.1007/s11205-016-1231-7

This paper suggests a new and comprehensive approach to the assessment of the material well-being at the individual level by constructing a multidimensional index. Using this approach, material well-being is understood as a generic notion that covers a number of different domains, whereas the concept of domain is used to distinguish between different aspects of people’s resources, including income security, …

Longitudinal methods for life course research. A Comparison of sequence analysis, latent class growth models, and multistate event history models for studying partnership transitions

Mikolai, J. & Lyons-Amos, M. (2017). Longitudinal and Life Course Studies, 8(2), 191-208 10.14301/llcs.v8i2.415

his paper qualitatively compares and contrasts three methods that are useful for life course researchers; the more widely used sequence analysis, and the promising but less often applied latent class growth models, and multi-state event history models. The strengths and weaknesses of each method are highlighted by applying them to the same empirical problem. Using data from the Norwegian Generations …

Looking Beyond the Church Tax: Families and the Disaffiliation of Austrian Roman Catholics

Berghammer, C., Zartler, U., & Krivanek, D. (2017). Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion, 56(3), 514-535 10.1111/jssr.12361

Abstract This study aims to understand the reasons why Roman Catholics leave the church based on the example of Austria, a country with high rates of disaffiliation since the 1980s. Although previous research focused mainly on the church tax, this study provides a more comprehensive analysis based on a mixed‐methods approach that reveals the central relevance of the family in …

Effects of Education and of Union Type on Men’s Lifetime Fertility in Two Different Societal Contexts

Mureșan, C. (2017). Romanian Journal of Population Studies, XI(2), 127-144 10.24193/RJPS.2017.2.06

There is a huge literature examining fertility trends and its determinants in low-fertility societies, but studies on men are rare even there is a general acceptance that the de-standardization of family life concerns especially men. We study the development of men’s lifetime fertility inside unions in former communist countries is contrasted with the more studied dynamic of male fertility in …

Educational differentials in cohabitors' marriage intentions at different childbearing stages in seven European countries

Vergauwen, J., Neels, K., & Wood, J. (2017). Social Science Research, 65, 253-267 10.1016/j.ssresearch.2017.03.006

Several studies have looked into the socio-economic gradients of cohabitation and non-marital fertility. According to the theory of the Second Demographic Transition, highly educated individuals can be considered as forerunners in the western European spread of non-marital family forms after the 1970s. In central and eastern Europe (CEE), however, research has provided evidence for a Pattern of Disadvantage where those …

Educational enrolment, double-status positions and the transition to motherhood in hungary

Spéder, Z. & Bartus, T. (2017). European Journal of Population, 33(1), 55-85 10.1007/s10680-016-9394-0

Abstract It is well known that participation in education is incompatible with the transition to motherhood. However, enrolment is overwhelmingly treated as a single status even though participation in education may be combined with employmentresulting in double-status positions, and the fertility implications of double-status positions are less clear-cut. Relying on normative and economic approaches, we develop original and competing hypotheses …
