Separation and Elevated Residential Mobility: A Cross-Country Comparison

Kulu, H., Mikolai, J., Thomas, M., Vidal, S., Schnor, C., Willaert, D., Visser, F., & Mulder, C. (2021). European Journal of Population, 37(1), 121-150 10.1007/s10680-020-09561-1

Abstract This study investigates the magnitude and persistence of elevated post-separation residential mobility (i.e. residential instability) in five countries (Australia, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK) with similar levels of economic development, but different welfare provisions and housing markets. While many studies examine residential changes related to separation in selected individual countries, only very few have compared patterns across …

Long‐term trends in intergenerational proximity: Evidence from a grandchild design

Kalmijn, M. (2021). Population, Space and Place, 27(8), e2473 10.1002/psp.2473

Abstract Competing claims exist about how the geographic distance between parents and their adult children has changed historically. A classic modernisation hypothesis is that people currently live further away from their parents than in the past. Others have argued for stability and the remaining importance of local family ties, in spite of a long‐term decline in co‐residence of adult children …

From Living Apart to Living Together: Do Children Born before the Current Partnership Matter?

Van der Wiel, R., Mulder, C., & De Valk, H. (2020). Comparative Population Studies, 45 10.12765/CPoS-2020-07

This study examines the association between having children born before the current partnership and women’s and men’s likelihood of transitioning from living apart together (LAT) to co-residing. LAT partnerships are common among individuals with pre-partnership children, but have so far been under-researched. Our study not only focuses on those in LAT relations, but also takes the different pathways to becoming …

Gray Divorce and Social and Emotional Loneliness

Högnäs, R. (2020). In D. Mortelmans (Ed.), Divorce in Europe (pp. 147-165) Cham: Springer International Publishing 10.1007/978-3-030-25838-2_7

Abstract Research consistently shows an association between marriage and divorce and long-term health, including mental health outcomes linked to loneliness and depression. And, recent evidence suggests that divorce at midlife and older, or so-called “gray divorce” has increased while divorce at younger ages has decreased. Using data from the Netherlands Kinship Panel Study (NKPS), this chapter explores the association between …

The role of education in the intersection of partnership transitions and motherhood in Europe and the United States

Mikolai, J., Berrington, A., & Perelli-Harris, B. (2018). Demographic Research, 39, 753-794 10.4054/DemRes.2018.39.27

BACKGROUND Previous research has shown that partnership status at first birth is associated with education across Europe and the United States. Most research has indicated that first births within cohabitation have a negative educational gradient. However, the pathway to a first birth in different partnership types can be complex and may vary across countries. OBJECTIVE We study whether any educational …

The timing of marriage vis-à-vis coresidence and childbearing in Europe and the United States

Holland, J. (2017). Demographic Research, 36, 609-626 10.4054/DemRes.2017.36.20

OBJECTIVE These descriptive findings extend Holland’s (2013) marriage typology by linking the timing of marriage, childbearing, and cohabitation, and apply it to a range of European countries and the United States. The meaning of marriage is organized around six ideal types: Direct Family-Forming, Post-Cohabitation Family-Forming, Conception-Related Legitimizing, Birth-Related Legitimizing, Reinforcing, and Capstone marriage. METHODS I present descriptive tabulations of data …

Partnership patterns and homeownership: a cross-country comparison of Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom

Thomas, M. & Mulder, C. (2016). Housing Studies, 31(8), 935-963 10.1080/02673037.2016.1164832

Using detailed micro-level survey data for three advanced European welfare-state economies (Germany, Netherlands and UK), our analyses suggest a fairly common hierarchy to homeownership, according to partnership status, exists. In all three countries, a variety of interrelated factors appear to encourage greater propensities for homeownership amongst co-residential households (married/ cohabiting), as compared to single-person households. However, important macro-contextual differences do …

Continuity and change in intergenerational family relationships: An examination of shifts in relationship type over a three-year period

Schenk, N. & Dykstra, P. (2012). Advances in Life Course Research, 17(3), 121–132

This paper focuses on shifts in adult child–parent relationship type using the first two waves of the Netherlands Kinship Panel Study (NKPS). The analyses are informed by both a life transitions perspective, and a reduction of ambivalence perspective. The intergenerational relationships typology represents different combinations of solidaristic acts and conflict. We employed Latent Transition Analysis to determine the prevalence and …

Family obligations and support behaviour: a United States-Netherlands comparison

Cooney, T. & Dykstra, P. (2011). Ageing and Society, 31, 1026-1050 10.1017/S0144686X10001339

This study draws on national survey data from the United States (US) and the Netherlands to compare family obligations and support behaviour for middle-generation adults who have a living aged parent and adult child. Consistent with a familialism by default hypothesis based on welfare state differences, the US sample espouses stronger family obligations than the Dutch sample. Yet, the Dutch …

Childlessness and Norms of Familial Responsibility in the Netherlands

Using data from the second wave of the Netherlands Kinship Panel Study (NKPS) for 3069 female and 2096 male respondents, we studied differences in norms of universal and of personal familial responsibility between childless individuals and parents. Differences depend on the type of norm studied. Childless individuals, and in most cases only those who opt voluntarily for a childless life, …

Where is the exit? Intergenerational ambivalence and relationship quality in high contact ties

We challenge the common idea that solidarity has positive, whereas conflict has negative implications, by investigating intergenerational ambivalence – defined as the co-occurrence of solidarity and conflict – and relationship quality. We use representative data on non-coresident adult children and parents with high levels of contact (weekly or more; N = 2,694 dyads). Results show that over half of high …

The transition to parenthood and well-being

Keizer, R., Dykstra, P., & Poortman, A. (2010). Journal of Family Psychology, 24, 429-438 10.1037/a0020414

Using data from the first two waves of the Netherlands Kinship Panel Study for 338 women and 262 men, we examine the consequences of making the transition to parenthood for life satisfaction, loneliness, positive affect, negative affect, and partnership satisfaction. We extend previous work by taking transitions in partner status and work hours into account. Results show a moderate impact …

We investigated how intergenerational congruence in family‐related attitudes depends on life course stage in young adulthood. Recent data from the Netherlands Kinship Panel Study were used; the present sample included 2,041 dyads of young adults and their parents. Findings are discussed in terms of the elasticity in intergenerational attitude congruence in response to young adults' life course transitions. Our results …

Using a Dutch national sample containing 7,158 respondents, we examined to what extent 1) ethnic background, 2) family characteristics and 3) migrant characteristics are related to ethnic distance, expressed through the intermarriage attitude, of the Dutch majority and four migrant groups: Turks, Moroccans, Surinamese and Antilleans. First, our study showed that large differences in ethnic distance exist between the five …

Family Background, Individual Resources and the Homeownership of Couples and Singles

Blaauboer, M. (2010). Housing Studies, 25(4), 441-461 10.1080/02673031003711493

Homeownership is influenced by resources, household context and characteristics of the family of origin. Using the Netherlands Kinship Panel Study, this paper investigates this influence and to what extent it differs between men and women in couples and between single men and women. The results for couples show that the earning potential of the male partner, indicated by the level …

Economic Resources and Remaining Single: Trends Over Time

Dykstra, P. & Poortman, A. (2010). European Sociological Review, 26(3), 277-290 10.1093/esr/jcp021

An influential hypothesis in family research is that having many economic resources decreases women’s and increases men’s rate of entering a union. A more recent hypothesis is that the strength of the association between economic resources and union formation has weakened over time, given decreasing role differentiation by gender. Rather than looking at the timing of union formation, we look …

Does Voluntary Association Participation Boost Social Resources?

Conflicting arguments exist in the literature about whether associational involvement can enhance people’s social resources (operationalized as the extent to which people have nearby social networks they can rely on). We aim to test these arguments. Methods. We use two-wave panel data. These are needed, as a causal relationship is presumed: participation as antecedent and social resources as outcome. To …
