Short-term fertility intentions and outcomes: similarities and differences between childless women and mothers

Grzenda, W. (2024). Journal of Family Studies, 30(5), 881-905 10.1080/13229400.2024.2347326

Research frequently reveals the gap between women’s fertility intentions and childbearing behaviour. Moreover, while the fertility intentions of childless women and mothers with one child can be very similar, the extent to which those intentions are realised is frequently different. In search for the reasons for these discrepancies, we propose how Bayesian methods can be used to investigate both time-invariant …

Abstract In this article, we reconstruct prospective intergenerational educational mobility and explore fertility's role in this process for women born between 1925 and 1950 in 12 European countries. We do so by combining high-quality retrospective data (Generations and Gender Survey) and low-requirement prospective datasets using an inferential method developed and advanced in prior research. Our analysis shows that the negative …

Zusammenfassung In den letzten Jahrzehnten veränderten sich Verhalten, Einstellungen und rechtliche Normen in Bezug auf Partnerschaft und Elternschaft. Der Beitrag geht der Frage nach, ob diese Veränderungen zeitlich parallel stattfanden und ob sich „neue Normalitäten“ etablierten. Dies wird in einem Zeitraum von mehr als drei Jahrzehnten untersucht für (a) nichteheliche Lebensgemeinschaften; (b) Scheidung, Ein-Eltern-Familien und Stieffamilien; (c) gleichgeschlechtliche Partner- und …

Multidimensional gender ideologies: How do they relate to work-family arrangements of mothers with dependent children in Poland and western Germany?

Joecks, J., Kurowska, A., Pull, K., & Schober, P. (2024). International Journal of Comparative Sociology, 00207152241293463 10.1177/00207152241293463

This study uses a multidimensional approach to identify gender ideologies and investigate their association with work-family arrangements among mothers of dependent children in Poland and western Germany. Based on data from the Generations and Gender Survey, we apply ordinal latent class analysis and identify five gender ideology classes: (1) traditional, (2) intensive parenting, (3) ambivalent, (4) moderately egalitarian, and (5) …

Mode effects on socially desirable responding in web surveys compared to face-to-face and telephone surveys

Berzelak, N. & Vehovar, V. (2024). Advances in Methodology and Statistics, 15(2), 21-43 10.51936/lrkv4884

This paper elaborates upon differences in socially desirable responding as being the result of mode effects between web, telephone, and face-to-face survey modes. Social desirability is one of the main threats to comparability of data between different modes. The paper conceptualises socially desirable responding as a specific type of mode effect, which is not only a result of inherent characteristics …

Exploring the association between gender equality in the family and fertility intentions: an explanation of the findings in low-fertility countries

Leocádio, V., Verona, A., & Wajnman, S. (2024). Genus, 80(1), 26 10.1186/s41118-024-00234-z

Abstract Previous research has demonstrated a positive association between gender equality in the family and fertility measures. However, this association may vary when different features of gender equality in the family, such as the division of housework and childcare, are analyzed. Furthermore, it has been argued that individuals may have different perceptions regarding housework and childcare, which can further explain …

In Estonia, the Generations and Gender Survey 2020 (GGS-II) is the third large-scale demographic survey that collects data on family and fertility dynamics. As the country participates in the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe, the GGS-II opted for a shorter age range of the sample (18–59). The questionnaire in the GGS-II in Estonia follows the GGS-II wave …

Counting on parents or others?: The role of social support for fertility intentions in Finland

This study explores the associations between receiving social support from network members other than individuals’ parents and fertility intentions in Finland. It additionally examines whether support from others can compensate for the lack of parental support or complement their support. Using logistic regression models applied to Generations and Gender Survey (GGS) data on individuals aged 18–45 years enriched with administrative …

Union Instability and Fertility: An International Perspective

Abstract In this article, we analyse the relationship between union instability and cumulated fertility among ever-partnered women in several regions across Europe and the Americas with different patterns of demographic behaviour in terms of fertility levels, union instability and fertility across partnerships. We hypothesise that the relationship between union dissolution and fertility might be less negative in contexts where repartnering …

BACKGROUND The preference for having children of a particular sex may be reflected in fertility behavior. For example, parents who want to have a son may be more likely to have another child if their firstborn child is female or if they have two female children. They may also speed up the conception, resulting in a faster progression to the …

The quality of fertility data in the web-based Generations and Gender Survey

BACKGROUND The Generations and Gender Survey (GGS) enables investigating family-related events from a life course perspective. After its first round of face-to-face implementation, various factors resulted in the second round being implemented on the web. Despite its advantages, implementing a web-based GGS has its drawbacks ‒ for instance, possible misreporting, and especially underreporting, of life history variables due to the …
