Zvoníček, T., Kreidl, M., & Fučík, P. (2022). Sociální studia/Social Studies, Online, 1-24 10.5817/soc2022-20990

It can be reasonably assumed that the economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic have taken a toll on family and interpersonal relationships. Previous research has established that job insecurity and financial hardship lead to reduced relationship quality and a higher incidence of partner conflicts. Our goal is to investigate the dynamics of partnership satisfaction and partnership conflict during the COVID-19 …

Patterns of Co‐Residential Relationships Across Cohorts in Post‐Socialist Countries: Less Time for Childbearing?

Billingsley, S. & Oláh, L. (2022). Social Inclusion, 10(3) 10.17645/si.v10i3.5201

Co‐residential partnerships are a pre‐condition for childbearing and less time is spent in these unions when there is difficulty finding partners, a delay in union formation, and partnership instability. Our study explores patterns in co‐residential partnerships across birth cohorts in 11 post‐socialist countries to assess changes in the number of years spent in these partnerships and the patterns underlying any …

Partnership dynamics and the fertility gap between Sweden and Spain

Nishikido, M., Cui, Q., & Esteve, A. (2022). Genus, 78(1), 26 10.1186/s41118-022-00170-w

Abstract Below-replacement fertility has persisted across European countries for a few decades, though, with variation. Delays in age at first union and first birth have been key factors in the declining fertility levels within these societies. While the vast majority of births occurs within a stable partnership, the link between partnership formation and childbearing is rarely taken into account. In …

Parental education, divorce, and children’s educational attainment: Evidence from a comparative analysis

Guetto, R., Bernardi, F., & Zanasi, F. (2022). Demographic Research, 46, 65-96 10.4054/DemRes.2022.46.3

Background: Children who experience parental divorce have worse long-term educational attainment than children living in intact families. Less clear is the extent to which heterogeneity in the divorce penalty depends on parents’ socioeconomic background and contextual characteristics. Objective: This study focuses on the negative consequences of parental divorce for children’s tertiary education attainment, their heterogeneity by parental socioeconomic background, and …

Mental Health Across the Life Course for Men and Women in Married, Cohabiting, and Living Apart Together Relationships

Yucel, D. & Latshaw, B. (2022). Journal of Family Issues, 0192513X2110680 10.1177/0192513X211068038

This study examines the underexplored relationship between union type and mental health for married, cohabiting, and living apart together (“LAT”) individuals. Further, we assess whether gender and age moderate (separately and jointly) this relationship. Using data from Wave 1 of the Generations and Gender Survey ( N = 34,833), results suggest that cohabitors and LATs have worse mental health than …

Late fertility intentions increase over time in Austria, but chances to have a child at later ages remain low

Beaujouan, É. (2022). Reproductive Biomedicine & Society Online, 14, 125-139 10.1016/j.rbms.2021.10.002

Childbearing takes place at increasingly older ages, and fertility is continuing to decrease across female birth cohorts. This study investigated whether the proportion of women who unintentionally forwent childbearing increased over time, and linked this to the age profile of fertility intentions and realization among men and women. This study was based on the Austrian MicroCensuses (1986–2016) and on the …

Home Alone: Exploring Childcare Options to Remove Barriers to Second Childbearing in Belarus

Ishchanova, K. (2022). Social Inclusion, 10(3) 10.17645/si.v10i3.5223

This study investigates the relationship between childcare usage and parents’ intentions to have a second child in Belarus. Previous research has established that low fertility in Belarus can be primarily explained by falling second birth rates. However, a substantial research gap remains regarding the determinants of the low rate of second childbearing in Belarus. Based on a comprehensive review of …

Gender-Egalitarian Attitudes and Assortative Mating by Age and Education

Trimarchi, A. (2022). European Journal of Population, 38(3), 429-456 10.1007/s10680-022-09607-6

Abstract In the last decades, conventional patterns of assortative mating have been challenged by changes in the gender-gap in education. In many countries, educationally hypogamous unions (i.e. the woman is more educated than the man) now outnumber hypergamous unions (i.e. the man is more educated than the woman). The extent to which such structural changes have also been accompanied by …

Gender role attitudes and father practices as predictors of nonresident father-child contact

Heers, M. & Szalma, I. (2022). PLOS ONE, 17(4), e0266801 10.1371/journal.pone.0266801

Due to an increasing number of parental union dissolutions, a growing number of fathers does not cohabit with their biological children. This article analyses individual and societal gender role attitudes as well as societal father practices as determinants of nonresident father-child contact. Previous research shows that individual-level factors influence the relationship between nonresident fathers and their children. Research on resident …

Fertility transition from traditional to modern model in Moldova: exploration in base on the “generation and gender survey”

Grigoraş, E. & Gagauz, O. (2022). Economy and Sociology(1), 100–114 10.36004/nier.es.2022.1-09

In Moldova, like in other countries of Eastern Europe, after the 1990s, fertility transition from the traditional model to the modern one is occurring. A stable fertility decline was observed up to 2004, while the total fertility rate settled at 1.7-1.8 births per woman in the following years. Although the indicator is higher comparative to other states, the factors determining …

Financial Disagreements and Money Management Among Older Married and Cohabiting Couples in Sweden

Kridahl, L. & Duvander, A. (2022). Journal of Family and Economic Issues 10.1007/s10834-022-09846-z

This study investigates how partners’ money management strategies are associated with the experience of financial disagreements among older couples (60–80 years old). Money management is a broad concept, and this study operationalizes whether the partners pool all money, the partners pool some money, one partner manages the money (and gives a share to the other partner for personal spending), or …

Does the Survey Mode Affect the Association Between Subjective Well-being and its Determinants? An Experimental Comparison Between Face-to-Face and Web Mode

Piccitto, G., Liefbroer, A., & Emery, T. (2022). Journal of Happiness Studies, 23(7), 3441-3461 10.1007/s10902-022-00553-y

Abstract Subjective well-being research increasingly uses web surveys to understand how subjective well-being indicators are related to other concepts of interest. Although we know that mean scores on these indicators may differ between modes, we know little about whether a move to web will influence the conclusions we draw about our conceptual models. This study uses data from a unique …

Does what the man studies affect what he does at home? Field of education and gender division of housework and childcare in Norway, Austria and Poland

Martín-García, T. & Solera, C. (2022). Journal of Family Studies, 1-28 10.1080/13229400.2022.2051726

Using data from the Generations and Gender Survey, this study explores the association between men’s fields of education and the gender division of unpaid work among co-residential heterosexual couples in Norway, Austria and Poland. Fathers’ relative contribution to childcare is higher than it is to domestic work in all three countries, suggesting that men have increasingly become more involved fathers …

Does union type make a difference when you separate? Frequency of father–child contact and father’s satisfaction with the relation

Zilincikova, Z. & Albertini, M. (2022). Genus, 78(1), 22 10.1186/s41118-022-00169-3

Abstract Growing separation and divorce rates have attracted scholars’ attention to the association between relationship breakup and the relations between fathers and their minor children. Pre-separation life course events and characteristics may influence this relationship. One important characteristic to be considered is the type of union in which ex-partners were in. In this article, we study the association between previous …

Couple disagreements and partnership stability in 10 European countries: Could differences in gender equality explain cross-national variations?

Fučík, P. (2022). International Journal of Comparative Sociology 10.1177/00207152221111437

This article focuses on the association between couple disagreement and partnership stability. In particular, we explore the mediating role of macrostructural gender inequality on the effect of couple disagreements on partnership stability in a cross-national comparative perspective. We analyzed data from two waves of the Gender and Generations Survey (fielded between 2004 and 2011) to explore the varied effects of …

Using two waves of the Generations and Gender Survey for eight European countries, we test under what conditions couples experience high levels of disagreement over time or separate. The results partly support the idea of relative resources, suggesting that a decrease in the status of men in couples (job loss) is significantly associated with high levels of conflict. The transition …
