The association between employment and family histories and caregiving in later life. European findings based on SHARE and Elsa
Caregiving can be time-consuming, and it can be challenging for caregivers to combine caregiving tasks with other obligations. While we know a lot about the problems of combining informal care with employment and family obligations, past employment and family histories are seldom discussed. This study tries to fill this gap by examining the association between employment and family histories and caregiving in later life. We used pooled data from …
Partnership Histories and the Gender Gap in Wealth Among Older Singles
We document the gender wealth gap among single individuals aged 50 or more, an age group where wealth differences might be particularly pronounced and relevant for economic well-being. We investigate to what extent differences in partnership histories can explain the gender gap in household wealth among singles in four countries using data from SHARE. Whereas we do not find a gender gap in wealth of singles in the Czech Republic, we find that sin…
Generalists or specialists? Unpacking crime trajectories of intimate partner violence offenders
This study examines the heterogeneity of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) perpetrators by distinguishing IPV specialists, whose violence is limited to partners, from IPV generalists, who also target non-partners, and comparing both to non-IPV violent offenders. Using comprehensive administrative records from Catalonia, we analyzed the complete criminal histories (1990-2019) of all individuals convicted of IPV between 2010 and 2015, alongside a 10 …
Setting the scene
With increasing demand for informal carers, young adults are taking up care of dependent adults. However, early adulthood is the period in which most people invest in human capital and transition to employment. Being neither in employment nor in training (NEET) during this period may have long-term effects, increasing the risk of poor mental health. This study explores data from the third wave of the European Health Survey to better understand th…
Research Note
Measures of kinship size are increasingly common in sociodemographic studies. The size and structure of older adults’ kinship networks can be ascertained via direct observation in a social survey or modeled using demographic techniques. Each approach has advantages and disadvantages, but whether the two provide comparable estimates of kinship size is an open question. In this research note, we answer this question using social survey data and dem…
Women's family trajectories after union dissolution
ObjectiveChanges in family dynamics due to increased union instability are gathering scholarly attention. Against this backdrop, we asked: How do family life courses evolve after the dissolution of a first union? And, how do these processes vary across socio-historical contexts?MethodWe deployed sequence and cluster analysis on women's combined relationship and fertility trajectories over 120 months after the dissolution of the first union using …
Housing density and its consequences for couples in Germany
High housing density has been considered a stressor that is detrimental to couples’ relationships. However, empirical research on this topic has been mixed, which might be due to the fact that not all couples respond to density in the same way. We contribute to the literature by not only considering separation as a potential reaction to density but also moving to a new place. Moreover, we combine insights from different theoretical models to expl…
Gender Ideology in Europe
Two recent articles (Grunow et al. in J Marriage Fam 80(1):42–60, 2018; Knight and Brinton in Am J Sociol 122(5):1485–1532) suggest that gender ideology is multidimensional. Such a finding is of utmost importance because, if robust, it can be used in future comparative (multilevel) research. However, these two articles present different results on which gender ideology profiles are dominant in Europe. Using the European Value Study, we replicate …
Couples' Relative Resources, Male Power, and Relationship Conflict from a Comparative Perspective
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 to high conflict is more frequent when there is a discrepancy bet…
Overcrowded Housing and Relationship Break-up
Spousal resources and relationship quality in eight European countries
textabstractWe relate relationship satisfaction and thoughts about leaving a romantic relationship to a couple’s relative and absolute resources and check for context-dependency of those associations. Our theoretical point of departure is that the more resources women have compared to their spouses, the higher their intra-household bargaining power to negotiate themselves out of unpleasant tasks, particularly in gender-egalitarian and very income…
The dynamic relationships between union dissolution and women's employment
The Employment of Separated Women in Europe
Studies on the economic consequences of divorce for women have paid little attention to changes in employment. In this article, we investigate changes in employment for separating women and the impact of individual and institutional factors on these changes using data on 13 countries from the European Community Household Panel (1994–2001). Our dynamic analyses of the odds of employment entry and exit, and changes in working hours demonstrate that…
