Women’s Wages and Fertility Revisited Evidence from Norway
Gender-Equalizing Family Policies and Mothers' Entry into Paid Work
Universal parental leaves with job protection and earnings compensation increase women's labor market attachment, but very long leaves may have negative consequences at both individual and societal levels. Using panel data from the period 1996–2010, we study whether it is possible to offset the potential negative effects on women's labor supply of long parental leaves by policies targeted especially at fathers, and policies making formal daycare …
Socioeconomic Differences in Multipartner Fertility Among Norwegian Men
This article analyzes male fertility, with a particular focus on multipartner fertility, for cohorts born 1955 to 1984 in Norway. We find that socioeconomically disadvantaged men have the lowest chance of becoming fathers and the lowest likelihood of fathering multiple children in stable unions. Multipartner fertility, on the other hand, is positively associated with both disadvantage and advantage: higher-order birth risks with a new partner are…
Mobilizing female labour market reserves
With an ageing population and a persistent booming economy, Norway is already facing an unmet demand for labour. Considering the country's high female part-time work rate, more full-time work among women constitutes a potential labour reserve. This article investigates factors that encourage transitions into full-time work and discourage transitions out of full-time work based on panel data from the period 2003-2009. Shifts between working-time s…
Opting Out? Who are the Housewives in Contemporary Norway
The number of housewives has declined significantly in many countries, but there is now renewed interest in the homemaker role among researchers and in the public discourse. Using representative survey data from 2007, we examine the prevalence and characteristics of the housewife in contemporary Norway, a social-democratic country with high gender-equality ambitions and a high demand for labour. Irrespective of the definition used, being a housew…
Non-traditional dual earners in Norway
An equal division of paid and unpaid work in couples is a central political ambition in many countries. Utilizing a survey from 2007, this article finds that many Norwegian women perform approximately as much paid work as their partner. Still, few work more than their partners and about half work less than them. Domestic commitments as well as the partners' labour market resources affect women's allocation of paid work, but the highly gender-segr…
Increasingly heterogeneous ages at first birth by education in Southern European and Anglo-American family-policy regimes
According to the 'reproductive polarization' hypothesis, family-policy regimes unfavourable to the combination of employment with motherhood generate greater socio-economic differentials in fertility than other regimes. This hypothesis has been tested mainly for 'liberal' Anglo-American regimes. To investigate the effects elsewhere, we compared education differentials in age at first birth among native-born women of 1950s and 1960s birth cohorts …
Can public policies sustain fertility in the Nordic countries
The collective evidence of past research indicates that Nordic social welfare policies have had positive impacts on fertility. Yet, some patterns cause concern. One concern is that the good recuperation at cohort level partly is explained by relatively
Do welfare-to-work initiatives work? Evidence from an activation programme targeted at social assistance recipients in Norway
The emphasis on welfare-to-work policies across Europe has led to increased interest in active labour market programmes. A recent trend in some countries is a tighter collaboration between different welfare agencies and the inclusion of very disadvantaged groups. Few studies have evaluated such broad programmes. In this article we evaluate a Norwegian initiative to combat poverty, which is mainly directed at social assistance recipients, and whic…
Cohort fertility patterns in the Nordic countries
Previous analyses of period fertility suggest that the trends of the Nordic countries are sufficiently similar that we may speak of a common "Nordic fertility regime". We investigate whether this assumption can be corroborated by comparing cohort ferti
Gendering family composition
It has been argued that a society’s gender system may influence parents’ sex preferences for children. If this is true, one should expect to find no evidence of such preferences in countries with a high level of gender equality. In this article, we exploit data from population registers from Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden to examine continuities and changes in parental sex preferences in the Nordic countries during the past three to four de…
The Multifaceted Impact of Education on Entry into Motherhood
Welfare rules, business cycles, and employment dynamics among lone parents in Norway
How lone parents combine work and welfare in earning a living has long inspired discussion. Yet little is known of their actual labor market attachment, either over calendar time or during individual lifetimes. In this article we address both issues, first by studying Norwegian Labor Force Surveys to illuminate the labor force participation of lone parents during the last two decades and by comparing the trends revealed with similar developments …
Fertility and Public Policies - Evidence from Norway and Finland
The relatively high and rising fertility rates of Nordic countries in the late 1980s and early 1990s sparked a renewed research interest in the possible pronatalistic effects of generous family policy programs. Several studies have addressed this issue
Fertility and family policy in Norway - A reflection on trends and possible connections
Below replacement fertility in many countries has lead to a renewed public interest in policies that may encourage young people to have more children. The Nordic countries are sometimes in focus in this respect, as their fertility rates remain relative
