Kan, M. (2023). Genus, 79(1), 21 10.1186/s41118-023-00200-1

Abstract Previous research has found evidence of positive associations between gender-egalitarian attitudes or more equal division of housework/childcare and short-term fertility intentions in developed countries of Europe and East Asia. This study extends the literature to the context of a developing country in the post-communist region—Kazakhstan, which has progressed well in public gender equality but may not have developed private …

Wood, J., Neels, K., & Maes, J. (2023). Journal of European Social Policy, 33(4), 451-468 10.1177/09589287231186068

Although formal childcare is considered a key social investment policy to combat inequality, available research indicates that in most European and other high-income countries parents with lower socio-economic positions are less likely to use formal childcare. As the literature on the underlying causes of this so-called Matthew effect has not yet converged, this article is the first to assess whether …

The work/family balance in Norway

Gustafsson, M. (2023). Exploring Norway's Fertility, Work, and Family Policy Trends OECD Publishing

While the share of people under age 65 without a cohabiting partner has been increasing in France since the late 1960s, the duration of these periods of solo living over the life course has never been studied. We calculate the aggregate length of time spent without a cohabiting partner for the cohorts born between 1926 and 1988 using data from …

Castro Torres, A., Batyra, E., & Myrskylä, M. (2022). Population and Development Review, 48(1), 189-215 10.1111/padr.12451

The relationship between levels of social and economic inequality and demographic changes remains poorly documented, particularly for fertility. Covering a period from 1986 to 2018, this paper documents a positive country-level association between income inequality and the dispersion of first birth schedules among women from 88 countries of the Global South. This association is driven by a dual dynamic of …

Things to Gain, Things to Lose: Perceived Costs and Benefits of Children and Intention to Remain Childless in Poland

Mynarska, M. & Brzozowska, Z. (2022). Social Inclusion, 10(3) 10.17645/si.v10i3.5377

A rapid fertility decline observed in Poland since the 1990s has been accompanied by a marked increase in childlessness. This may seem surprising given the high value placed on parenthood in the country. Some evidence exists on how childlessness in Poland relates to biological and situational constraints, but still relatively little is known about how the decision to never have …

The impact of COVID-19 on fertility behaviour and intentions in a middle income country

Emery, T. & Koops, J. (2022). Plos One, 17(1), e0261509 10.1371/journal.pone.0261509

The COVID Pandemic may affect fertility behaviour and intentions in many ways. Restrictions on service provision reduce access to family planning services and increase fertility in the short term. By contrast, the economic uncertainty brought about by the pandemic and its impact on mental health and well-being may reduce fertility. These various pathways have been explored in the context of …

The division of housework and re‐partnering in Europe: Is there a West/East divide?

Lozano, M. & Garcia‐Roman, J. (2022). Family Relations, 71(4), 1762-1784 10.1111/fare.12715

Abstract Objective This paper explores if re‐partnering leads to less traditional divisions of domestic work by comparing men and women in different European countries. Background Divorce and re‐partnering have become more common, and we question if they are opening the scope for more gender‐balanced arrangements at home and new theoretical approaches. Method Using the two available waves of the Gender …

Abstract This study analyses the influence of family policies on women’s first and second births in 20 countries over the period 1995 to 2007. Welfare states have shifted towards social investment policies, yet family policy–fertility research has not explicitly considered this development. We distinguish between social investment-oriented and passive support that families may receive upon the birth of a child …
