Visualizing the Prevalence of Couples’ Work-Family Arrangements across Countries
Cross-national differences in individual patterns of paid and unpaid work are well documented, yet how couples jointly allocate time across both remains comparatively understudied. Where couple-level work-family arrangements have been studied, research has relied on qualitative or single-country designs, leaving open whether a singular typology generalizes cross-nationally and how its prevalence varies across countries. Using multigroup latent cl…
Beyond Text
Despite substantial gender convergence in education and employment, women continue to perform a disproportionate share of housework. We employ a novel visual conjoint experiment to isolate the normative mechanisms underlying this persistent inequality. Using AI-generated photorealistic images, we systematically vary the tidiness of domestic spaces, room type, source of mess, socioeconomic status, and the gender and race/ethnicity of occupants, al…
Differently Educated US Couples and Their Work‐Family Arrangements, 1968–2023
Objective This brief report examines how couples' education pairings relate to their work‐family arrangements in the United States from 1968 to 2023, focusing on differently educated couples. Background The reversal of the gender gap in education has increased couples where women have more education than their male partners, with implications for how couples divide paid and unpaid labor; yet research on historical trends in work‐family arrangemen…
Racial-ethnic stratification in work-family arrangements among Black, Hispanic, and white couples
ObjectiveThis article builds on work-family scholarship to document racial-ethnic variation in couples' work-family arrangements, that is, how couples respond to their work and family demands.BackgroundExisting research on the division of labor finds traditional gender norms continue to dictate how couples share paid and unpaid work in the United States. Yet, this narrative relies primarily on the structural conditions and cultural expectations o…
Gender Equality for Whom? The Changing College Education Gradients of the Division of Paid Work and Housework Among US Couples, 1968-2019
In response to women's changing roles in labor markets, couples have adopted varied strategies to reconcile career and family needs. Yet, most studies on the gendered division of labor focus almost exclusively on changes either in work or family domain. Doing so neglects the process through which couples negotiate and contest traditional work and family responsibilities. Studies that do examine these tradeoffs have highlighted how work-family str…
Does intergenerational educational mobility vary by sexual identity? A comparative analysis of five OECD countries
Lesbian, gay and bisexual people are disadvantaged in terms of health and socio-economic status compared with heterosexual people, yet findings pertaining to educational outcomes vary depending on the specific identity and gender considered. This study delves into these unexplained findings by applying a social-stratification lens, thereby providing an account of how intergenerational educational mobility varies by sexual identity. To accomplish …
How Education Shapes Women's Work and Family Lives Across Race and Ethnicity
Drawing on life course and intersectional approaches, this study examines how education shapes the intertwined domains of work and family across race and ethnicity. By applying multichannel sequence analysis and cluster analysis to the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979, we identify a typology of life course trajectories of work and family and test for the interactive associations of race and ethnicity with college education for different…
Time, money, and entry into parenthood
Objective: The study's objective is to understand how parental propensities to provide support, as predicted by parental characteristics, shape adult daughters' and sons' entry into parenthood in the United States. Background: Much research explores the influence of parental support on adult children's fertility, but the evidence is mixed and primarily focuses on European contexts. Theoretical approaches suggest that to best understand how parent…
Visualizing Racial-Ethnic Differences in the Division of Housework among Different-Sex Couples in the United States
Recent research shows important racial/ethnic differences in how individuals spend time in housework. Yet our understanding of how the racial/ethnic makeup of couples shapes gender equality in the division of housework remains limited. The authors use couple-level data from the 2017-2019 waves of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics to visually illustrate how each partner's race/ethnicity and their combination are associated with the gender divisio…
Measuring Older Adult Loneliness Across Countries
This article establishes that even single-item measures of loneliness contribute meaningful information in diverse settings. Similar to the measurement of self-rated health, there are nuances to the measurement of older adult loneliness in different contexts, but it has reliable and consistent measurement properties within many countries
Navigating between two cultures
BACKGROUND: Gender attitudes toward women's employment are of particular importance because they positively influence gender-equal outcomes in the labor market. Our understanding of the mechanisms that promote egalitarian gender attitudes among immigrants, however, remains limited. OBJECTIVE: By studying first- and second-generation immigrants from multiple origins and living in different countries, this article seeks to explain under what condit…
When equity matters for marital stability
Comparing West Germany and the U.S., we analyze the association between equity-in terms of the relative gender division of paid and unpaid work hours-and the risk of marriage dissolution. Our aim is to identify under what conditions equity influences couple stability. We apply event-history analysis to marriage histories using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel for West Germany and the Panel Study of Income Dynamics for the U.S. for the pe…
Changing Gender Norms and Marriage Dynamics in the United States
Using a regional measure of gender norms from the General Social Surveys and marital histories from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, this study explored how gender norms were associated with women's marriage dynamics between 1968 and 2012. Results suggested that a higher prevalence of egalitarian gender norms predicted a decline in marriage formation. This decline was, however, only true for women without a college degree. For college-educated…
Trust and Fertility Dynamics
We argue that the divergence in fertility trends in advanced societies is influenced by the interaction of long-standing differences in generalized trust with the increase in women's educational attainment. Our argument builds on the idea that trust enhances individuals' and couples' willingness to outsource childcare to outside their extended family. This becomes critically important as women's increased education enhances the demand for combini…
How Do Changes in Gender Role Attitudes Towards Female Employment Influence Fertility? A Macro-Level Analysis
This study explores whether the diffusion of gender-equitable attitudes towards female employment is associated with fertility. We argue that any positive effect on fertility requires not only high levels of gender-equitable attitudes overall, but also attitude convergence between men and women. We analyse 27 countries using data from the World Values Surveys and European Values Studies. We find support for a U-shaped relationship between changes…
