The association of health with family and employment statuses in Germany, France and the Netherlands

Von Der Lippe, E., Rattay, P., & Kostova, D. (2015). European Journal of Public Health, 25(suppl_3) 10.1093/eurpub/ckv170.076

The association of health with family and employment statuses is often discussed from the view of the multiple role-burden or the multiple role-attachment hypotheses. Besides, it is considered that the relation between employment, family and health is strongly influenced by the national policy and welfare systems. The aim of this study is to compare the association between health and fulfilling …

Guided by the theoretical and empirical framework of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), the results suggest that a …

BACKGROUND A key feature of the Generations & Gender Programme (GGP) is that longitudinal micro-data from the Generations and Gender Surveys (GGS) can be combined with indicators from the Contextual Database (CDB) that provide information on the macrolevel context in which people live. This allows researchers to consider the impact of socio-cultural, economic, and policy contexts on changing demographic behaviour …

Potential and Effective Support Networks of Young Italian Adults

Amati, V., Rivellini, G., & Zaccarin, S. (2015). Social Indicators Research, 122(3), 807-831 10.1007/s11205-014-0706-7

International literature on individual behavior has shown the importance of the network of relationships binding individuals to the people who are close to them in everyday life. Family and other role relations are important sources of emotional and instrumental support, as well as social companionship. For the Italian scenario, the 2003 Generations and Gender Survey offers some challenges for constructing …

BACKGROUND Extensive scholarly literature documentsthe decline in marriage and increase in no-n marital cohabitation and divorce across regions and countries of Europe, but we know less about the extent to which these new family behaviours that have emerged in host societies are adopted by migrants. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to examine partnership transitions among the migrants and …

Parental disability, parent care, and offspring mental health outcomes

Wolf, D., Raissian, K., & Grundy, E. (2015). European Journal of Ageing, 12(3), 175-185 10.1007/s10433-015-0339-y

Abstract Decades of research supports a widely held view that providing parent care is stressful, and that these stresses are associated with adverse mental health outcomes. However, some recent studies suggest an additional possibility, namely that ‘‘noncaregiver stress’’—a consequence of having a parent with major care needs, but not being an active caregiver—may be a serious problem as well. This …

Measuring intergenerational financial support: Analysis of two cross-national surveys

Emery, T. & Mudrazija, S. (2015). Demographic Research, 33, 951-984 10.4054/DemRes.2015.33.33

BACKGROUND The last decade has seen considerable research into intergenerational financial transfers in Europe. This research has produced significant insights into the nature, causes, and consequences of such transfers, as well as evidence of cross-national variation. Yet the findings of this research field are almost exclusively based on data from the Survey of Health, Ageing, and Retirement in Europe (SHARE). …

Late-entry-into-motherhood women are responsible for fertility recuperation

Castro, R. (2015). Journal of Biosocial Science, 47(2), 275-279 10.1017/S0021932014000121

Summary In countries where age at parenthood has shifted to older ages, a necessary precondition for fertility recuperation is that women having their first child later in life (after age 30) will also eventually achieve a higher completed fertility, compared with the previous cohorts. This study analysed the changes in age-at-first-child-conditional fertility rates in Western Europe through three birth cohorts …

Kosyakova, Y., Kurakin, D., & Blossfeld, H. (2015). European Sociological Review, 31(5), 573-590 10.1093/esr/jcv060

Using retrospective data from the Russian Education and Employment Survey, we examine labour market entry in Russia in terms of changes in horizontal gender segregation and vertical gender inequalities before and after the collapse of the Soviet regime in 1991. Our results provide evidence for horizontal gender segregation across branches of the economy among labour market entrants in Russia, which …

Gender differences in relationship preferences after union dissolution

Poortman, A. & Hewitt, B. (2015). Advances in Life Course Research, 26, 11-21 10.1016/j.alcr.2015.07.002

Women less often repartner after union dissolution than men. To develop our understanding of this gender gap in repartnering, we look at men’s and women’s relationship preferences following the dissolution of marital and cohabiting unions. Using the Dutch Generations and Gender Survey Study (N = 973), results show that divorced/separated women less often want to live with a partner again …

Gender and Re-partnering after Divorce in Four Central European and Baltic Countries

Abstract: This article analyses the demographic and social determinants of repartnering after divorce in four Baltic and Central European transition countries (Estonia, Lithuania, Poland, and Hungary), which, despite their common transition paths after the 1990s, developed distinct political economies and have different gender and family cultures. The article explores how the re-partnering chances of divorced women and men are shaped …

This paper studies fertility intentions and their outcomes, analyzing the complete path leading to fertility behavior according to the social psychological model of Theory Planned Behavior (TPB). We move beyond existing research using graphical models to have a precise understanding, and a formal description, of the developmental fertility decisionmaking process. Our findings yield new results for the Italian case which …

This article examines the role of individual educational resources in the transition from cohabitation to marriage in Lithuania over the past four decades that cover the communist and the transitional periods with various developmental stages of cohabitation. Two competing hypotheses were formulated based on cultural and structural approaches. The first hypothesis anticipated a stable negative effect of higher education, the …

BACKGROUND Recent research on fertility in industrialized countries focuses primarily on delayed childbearing, despite the facts that large numbers of women continue to enter parenthood at relatively young ages and that early childbearing has been linked to economic disadvantage. OBJECTIVE This cross-national comparative study describes relationships between women’s educational attainment and young age at first birth and evaluates the extent …

Diverse paths into childlessness over the life course

Remaining childless is a process which is influenced by the continuously changing context in which an individual woman lives, and by the many choices she makes in various life spheres over her life course. Most previous studies on this issue have compared mothers and childless women at the end of their reproductive years, and have sought to identify the primary …

Changes in partnership patterns across the life course: An examination of 14 countries in Europe and the United States

Perelli-Harris, B. & Amos, M. (2015). Demographic Research, 33, 145-178 10.4054/DemRes.2015.33.6

BACKGROUND Studies on Europe and the US indicate that marriage has been postponed, cohabitation has increased, and unions are more likely to dissolve. However, cross-national studies documenting these trends have typically studied each transition separately. OBJECTIVE This study aims to simultaneously capture these different partnership trends while examining heterogeneity within countries. Using latent class growth curves, we ask 1) what …
