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 …

Die vorliegende Studie befasst sich mit den Anteilen von Eineltern- und Stieffamilien sowie haushaltsübergreifenden Familienstrukturen in verschiedenen europäischen Ländern. Die Frage, wie viele Eineltern- und Stieffamilien es in den verschiedenen Ländern Europas tatsächlich gibt, konnte bislang nicht zufriedenstellend beantwortet werden. Für viele Länder existieren lediglich Schätzungen unter Rückgriff auf Scheidungsraten. Analysen auf Basis der Surveys des ‚Generations and Gender Programme‘ …

The second time around: Educational attainment and repartnering in an Eastern European context

Ivanova, K. & Begall, K. (2015). Zeitschrift fur Familienforschung, 27

We examined how people’s educational attainment was related to their behaviours on the repartnering market in the Russian Federation and Estonia. We addressed the following questions: 1) What is the effect of education on repartnering?; 2) What is the effect of own education on whom people repartner with (i.e., the new partner’s educational attainment)? and 3) Does the educational level …

Introduced in France in 1999 for both same-sex and different-sex couples, the civil partnership known as the pacte civil de solidarité or PACS, has seen a huge quantitative increase since 2001. This chapter compares types of union and attachment to gender roles. We differentiate four types of union linked to different kinds of institutionalization: direct or quasi-direct marriage, standard marriage, …

How Are Household Chores Divided? Responses Vary with the Respondent’s Gender and the Partner’s Presence or Absence During the Interview

Régnier-Loilier, A. (2015). In A. Régnier-Loilier (Ed.), The Contemporary Family in France (pp. 161-180) Cham: Springer International Publishing 10.1007/978-3-319-09528-8_8

The quality of survey data depends on the way information is collected. Interviewers are instructed to ensure that the interviews take place in private without anyone else present. However, they cannot impose the interview conditions, and in many cases one or more other persons are present during all or part of the interview. This chapter compares women’s and men’s responses …

The Division of Household and Childcare Tasks Between Partners

This chapter studies how housework and parenting tasks are shared by couples with children. In over half of observed cases, women take on most of these tasks, with or without outside assistance. But other less frequently observed arrangements exist, characterized by a more balanced division of tasks between partners and greater involvement of the man, who in some cases takes …

This chapter looks at the division of parental tasks by focusing on the gender relations at play both in the parents’ generation, as they tie in with other social relations approached through demographic and socioeconomic characteristics (age differences between partners, educational level, occupation, income, work time, etc.), and between parents and children. The aim is to verify whether, in addition …

Stability of Successive Unions: Do People Learn from Their Past Partnership?

Beaujouan, E. (2015). In A. Régnier-Loilier (Ed.), The Contemporary Family in France (pp. 113-138) Cham: Springer International Publishing 10.1007/978-3-319-09528-8_6

Increasing union instability and the diversification of conjugal trajectories have opened up a new research area in family studies: the breakup of second unions. There are two levels of questioning here. At the level of unions, are second relationships more fragile than first ones? At the individual level, are the determinants of separation the same for first and second unions? …

Union breakdown has become a more frequent event. It is a profound upheaval that involves a reorganization of life in both the domestic and occupational spheres. Separation may also challenge people’s expectations and ideals about living in a union. The aim of this chapter is to see whether the division of housework differs between the first and subsequent union. To …

This chapter aims to provide an insight into fertility decision making, concentrating in particular on links between fertility intentions and actual behaviour. Both the discussion of theoretical approaches and the empirical analysis enable us to gain a more accurate insight into the intention–behaviour link. After surveying the relevant literature, the chapter gives a broad overview of different kinds of factors …

The diffusion of contraception and the legalization of abortion have made birth control a much simpler matter: people can now choose the timing of their entry into parenthood. This study first focuses on the context in which intentions to have a first child are expressed in France: in addition to the question of age, certain conjugal and occupational situations seem …

While contemporary sociological and demographic studies seem to confirm the idea that the transition to adulthood is occurring at an increasingly older age in France, they have not yet clearly determined what exactly is involved in this “passage” from youth to adulthood. Study of schooling and educational trajectories, family and occupational paths, and analysis of the interactions between them in …

Based in our data, in France, 80 % of people aged 18–79 report being Catholic (currently or by birth), 5 % Muslim, 2 % Protestant, 2 % a different religion and 11 % say they have no religion. But this distribution varies considerably by age: the youngest cohorts less often report a religious affiliation, and when they do, they attend …
