Heterogeneous effects of parental death on secondary school track choice
Early parental death has adverse effects on children’s education, but the evidence on whether parents’ education moderates the consequences of early parental death is limited. Based on the resource perspective, the negative effects of parental death are believed to be stronger if the deceased parent is highly educated because those children would lose more resources, whereas having a highly educated surviving parent may compensate for the potenti…
Comparing Life Satisfaction of Immigrants and Natives Across Europe: The Role of Social Contacts
Acculturation style, transnational behaviour, and return-migration intentions of the Turkish second generation: Exploring linkages
In public discourse, acculturation, transnational behaviour, and migration are highly debated and viewed as related. In the academic literature, this relationship has hardly received attention. This article explores linkages between these processes and how
Fertility among descendants of immigrants in Belgium: The role of the partner
Research on the fertility behavior of descendants of immigrants has focused on female characteristics and has largely neglected those of the male partner. One key aspect is whether the partner is of same (endogamous) or of different (exogamous) ethnic orig
Migration and Immigrants in Europe: A Historical and Demographic Perspective
In this chapter we outline the general developments of migration within and towards Europe as well as patterns of settlement of migrants. We provide a comprehensive historical overview of the changes in European migration since the 1950s. Main phases in immigration, its backgrounds, and its determinants across the continent are described making use of secondary literature and data. Different European regions are covered in the analyses, based on …
Mothers' Mobility after Separation: Do Grandmothers Matter
Starting from a life course perspective, this study aims to gain more insight into mobility patterns of recently separated mothers, focusing especially on moves to the location of their own mother: the maternal grandmother. Separated mothers, having linked lives with their own mothers, may benefit from their practical and emotional support. Additionally, the grandparents' home can be a (temporary) place to stay shortly after divorce. Data come fr…
Ethnic differences in family trajectories of young adult women in the Netherlands: Timing and sequencing of events
Despite extensive research on the family behavior of young adults, family dynamics of children of migrants remain largely unexplored. This is unfortunate as family transitions are strongly interlinked with transitions in other domains (e.g., education, wor
The timing of family commitments in the early work career: Work-family trajectories of young adults in Flanders
This article examines the diverse ways in which young adults develop both their professional career and family life in the years immediately after they complete their education. Building a career and starting a family often occur simultaneously in this sta
Estimating the contribution of mothers of foreign origin to total fertility: The recent recovery of period fertility in the Belgian region of Flanders
Since the early 21st century, period total fertility has been recovering from (very) low levels in many European countries. This trend is partly attributable to the end of the postponement of childbearing. The question has risen, however, to what extent th
Navigating the school system in Sweden, Belgium, Austria and Germany: School segregation and second generation school trajectories
In this article we describe and explain how children of immigrants navigate their educational careers. Sequence analyses followed by optimal matching is used to cluster individual educational trajectories in four European countries, which differ in national educational systems, ranging from comprehensive to highly differentiated (Sweden, Belgium, Austria and Germany). Samples are young adults of the Turkish and Moroccan second-generation and the …

The Netherlands: Childbearing within the context of a 'Poldermodel' society
The Netherlands has seen a considerable decline of the period total fertility rate and delayed childbearing, just like all other European countries. The drop in fertility, however, has not been as sharp as in many other regions of Europe. The period to
