Koops, J., Liefbroer, A., & Gauthier, A. (2021). European Journal of Population, 37(4-5), 825-849 10.1007/s10680-021-09591-3

Abstract The study focuses on understanding the association between parental socio-economic status (SES) and the likelihood of women experiencing a first birth while single, and identifying societal factors that influence this association in 18 North American and European societies. Previous research has shown that single motherhood occurs disproportionately among those from with lower a lower parental SES. The study assesses …

Religiosity and Fertility Intentions: Can the Gender Regime Explain Cross-Country Differences?

Bein, C., Gauthier, A., & Mynarska, M. (2021). European Journal of Population, 37(2), 443-472 10.1007/s10680-020-09574-w

Abstract Research on the relationship between religiosity and fertility intentions revealed substantial cross-national differences. In some countries, a strong and positive effect of religiosity on fertility intentions was found, while in others, the effect was weaker or not significant, and the reasons underlying these cross-national differences are still unclear. The aim of this article is to explain these macro-level differences …

Religiosity and the realisation of fertility intentions: A comparative study of eight European countries

Buber‐Ennser, I. & Berghammer, C. (2021). Population, Space and Place, 27(6) 10.1002/psp.2433

Previous studies have consistently shown that religious persons both intend and have more children than their non-religious peers. However, it is yet unknown whether their higher number of children entirely reflects their higher intentions or whether religious persons also realise their intentions more often than non-religious individuals. By including different geographical regions—four countries from Western Europe and four countries from …

More Money — More Births? Estimating Effects of 2007 Family Policy Changes on Probability of Second and Subsequent Births in Russia

Бирюкова, С. & Синявская, О. (2021). The monitoring of public opinion economic&social changes(2) 10.14515/monitoring.2021.2.1830

From 2007 to 2015 total fertility rate in Russia increased from 1.42 to 1.78, following a long period of decline in 1990-1999 and stagnation in 2000-2006. Politicians attribute this growth to a package of pro-natalist policy measures introduced in 2007 and particularly to the maternity (family) capital program, the most well-known innovation of the 2007 reform. Existing studies, although sparse, …

Living-Apart-Together (LAT) in Contemporary Sweden: (How) Does It Relate to Vulnerability?

Olah, L., Karlsson, L., & Sandstrom, G. (2021). Journal of Family Issues, 0192513X211041988 10.1177/0192513X211041988

Sweden is among the countries with the highest share of single households in Europe, but not all are truly partnerless. We examine the potential vulnerability of individuals in living-apart-together relationships at age 30 and above, analyzing data from the Swedish GGS. We apply multinomial logistic regression. The results show that individuals engaging in LAT occupy an intermediate position in terms …

How Does Cohabitation Change People’s Attitudes toward Family Dissolution?

Kreidl, M. & Žilinčíková, Z. (2021). European Sociological Review, 37(4), 541-554 10.1093/esr/jcaa073

Abstract We study if (and how) transitioning into and living in an unmarried cohabitation makes people more accepting of family dissolution. We explore if cohabitation and marriage associate with a different change in attitudes across a set of nine European countries. Using comparative two-wave panel data and within-person attitude change models, we show that time spent in an unmarried cohabitation …

Having a child within a cohabiting union in Europe and North America: What is the role of parents' socio‐economic status?

Koops, J., Liefbroer, A., & Gauthier, A. (2021). Population, Space and Place, 27(6) 10.1002/psp.2434

The link between parental socio-economic status (SES) and the likelihood of having a birth in cohabitation or in marriage varies considerably across countries. Previous studies have referred to the pattern of disadvantage perspective and the second demographic transition theory to explain this cross-national variation. Yet no study has directly tested the explanatory power of both theories in this context. In …

Fathers' Involvement in the Family, Fertility, and Maternal Employment: Evidence From Central and Eastern Europe

Fanelli, E. & Profeta, P. (2021). Demography, 58(5), 1931-1954 10.1215/00703370-9411306

Abstract For a sample of Central and Eastern European countries, characterized by historically high female labor force participation and currently low fertility rates, we analyze whether fathers' increased involvement in the family (housework and childcare) has the potential of increasing both fertility and maternal employment. Using two waves of the Generations and Gender Survey, we show that more paternal involvement …

Zusammenfassung Es ist seit Langem bekannt, dass sich Fertilitätsraten zwischen ländlichen und urbanen Regionen unterscheiden. Stadt-Land-Unterschiede bei der Realisierung bestehender Kinderwünsche wurden jedoch bisher kaum untersucht. Der vorliegende Aufsatz untersucht die Verwirklichung bestehender Kinderwünsche in Österreich, wobei ländliche und urbane Gebiete mit der Hauptstadt Wien als einziger Millionenstadt verglichen werden. Unsere Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Kinderwünsche in Wien seltener realisiert werden …

Objective: To analyze the relationships between parental separation and partnership formation patterns across 16 countries and over time, and how the relationships are shaped by contextual factors. Background: Several studies have found that parental separation predicts higher rates of cohabitation and lower rates of marriage. Few studies have analyzed these relationships over time or across countries, and none have systematically …

Elder care and paid work: gender differences in the relationship between unpaid elder care work and employment in Bulgaria

Meurs, M. & Giddings, L. (2021). Journal of European Social Policy, 31(2), 223-238 10.1177/0958928720974181

Care of elderly family members affects the welfare of the elderly and caregivers and has macroeconomic implications. In Eastern Europe, aging populations combined with under-developed care policy increase family care burdens, but the impact of care on labour force participation is understudied in this context. Using two waves of the Generations and Gender survey, we estimate the impact of care …

(2021). European Journal of Population, 37(1), 263-295 10.1007/s10680-020-09562-0

Abstract Educational differences in female cohort fertility vary strongly across high-income countries and over time, but knowledge about how educational fertility differentials play out at the sub-national regional level is limited. Examining these sub-national regional patterns might improve our understanding of national patterns, as regionally varying contextual conditions may affect fertility. This study provides for the first time for a …

Does the Birth of a Child Still Prompt a Marriage? A Comparison of Austria, France, Germany and Hungary

Austria, France, Germany, and Hungary are four neighbouring European societies all with conservative welfare regimes, yet with distinct institutional and structural features. We investigate how these differences shape a particular example of culturally contingent behaviour: cohabiting couples’ marriage behaviour when they have a child. Based on a discussion of relevant differences in family policy, legal frames and normative contexts, we …

Do costs and benefits of children matter for religious people? Perceived consequences of parenthood and fertility intentions in Poland

Abstract The aim of this study was to examine the positive relationship between religiosity and fertility from the perspective of perceived consequences of parenthood. Previous studies in Germany have found that highly religious people ascribe higher benefits and lower costs to having children. Furthermore, the impact of costs and benefits on fertility is less pronounced among the highly religious. This …

Didn’t Plan One but got One: Unintended and sooner-than-intended Parents in the East and the West of Europe

Abstract The realisation rates of short-term childbearing intentions are known to be consistently lower in post-socialist countries than in the rest of Europe. However, the East–West differences in the outcomes of intentions to postpone or forego (further) childbearing have not been previously examined. We employ two panel waves of the Generations and Gender Survey in six countries (three from Eastern …

Children’s Living Arrangements after Marital and Cohabitation Dissolution in Europe

Zilincikova, Z. (2021). Journal of Family Issues, 42(2), 345-373 10.1177/0192513X20923721

The rapid increase of the number of children being born in cohabitation appears to have an important impact on their lives, since they face a higher risk of parental breakup than children born in wedlock. This article aims to provide a cross-national overview of the living arrangements of children following breakup of cohabiting unions and to investigate whether the post-dissolution …
