  • Family Availability, ‘Kinlessness’, Covid Stringency, and Loneliness in 26 Countries

    Open Access•C A Mair, Bruno Arpino et al.•ARTICLE•Research on Aging•2025

    Loneliness became an increasing concern during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially as countries enacted “physical distancing” mitigation measures. Under these conditions, older adults with limited family availability (e.g., unpartnered, childless, and “kinless”) might have been at higher loneliness risk, or perhaps were more accustomed to less social interaction. Using individual-level data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe…

  • The Effect of Social Ties on Digitalization in Older Adults: Integrating Propensity Score Matching and Finite Mixture Models on Two Combined Data Sets

    Open Access•Dalila Failli, Bruno Arpino•ARTICLE•Social Indicators Research•2025•References: 1

    The age digital divide is the gap between older adults and younger individuals in accessing or using different digital technologies. Results from the literature show that social ties with family and friends may have a great influence on the digital inclusion of older adults. To understand the causal link between intergenerational ties and the reduction of age digital divide, we propose to combine data from round 10 of the European Social Survey (…

  • Sleeping With the Enemy: Partners’ Heterogamy by Political Preferences and Union Dissolution. Evidence From the United Kingdom

    Open Access•Bruno Arpino, Alessandro Di Nallo•ARTICLE•Demography•2025•References: 83

    We examine whether union dissolution is associated with partners’ (mis)match on political preferences, defined as self-reported closeness, intention to vote, or reported vote for a specific party. Previous studies have shown that partners’ heterogamy by ethnicity, education, and other dimensions increases the risk of union dissolution because of differences between partners in lifestyles, attitudes, and beliefs or because of disapproval from fami…

  • Personality Traits and Provision of Grandparental Childcare: Evidence from Europe

    Bruno Arpino, Valeria Bordone et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Intergenerational…•2025•References: 56

    Past research has explored various factors associated with grandparental childcare but has overlooked the role of personality traits. We address this gap by analyzing the association between personality traits and grandparental childcare using data from the Survey of Health and Retirement in Europe (SHARE). In SHARE, personality traits were measured for the first time in wave 7, and in wave 8, they were collected only from individuals who did not…

  • Trajectories of loneliness in later life - Evidence from a 10-year English panel study

    Open Access•Giorgio Di Gessa, Valeria Bordone et al.•ARTICLE•Social Science & Medicine•2025•References: 45

    The prevalence of loneliness is higher among older people; however, few studies have examined its longitudinal patterns and associated risk factors, particularly social network resources. Using data from six waves of the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (2008/09 to 2018/19, N = 4740) and group-based trajectory modelling (GBTM), we identified five groups of loneliness trajectories: three with stable levels (37% "stable low"; 26% "stable medium…

  • Gender inequality in intergenerational contact after parental separation in the digital era

    Open Access•M Tosi, Bruno Arpino•ARTICLE•Journal of Marriage and the Family•2025•Cited by: 3•References: 43

    ObjectiveThe goal of this brief report is to analyze parent-adult child contact frequency in intact and non-intact families by focusing on parent and child gender and the type of contact.BackgroundParental separation increases gender differences in parent-child relationships, with separated fathers having less frequent contact with their adult children compared to separated mothers. We investigate whether the father-mother gap in post-separation …

  • Social media contact with family members and happiness in younger and older adults

    Open Access•Kristiina Tammisalo, Mirkka Danielsbacka et al.•ARTICLE•Computers in Human Behavior•2024

    Prior literature suggests that social media may increase older adults' well-being because they use social media to communicate with close social ties, such as family members. Despite this potential being recognized and associations between social media and well-being being established among older adults, the role of social media contact (SMC), particularly with family members, as a source of well-being has been little explored. In this study, we …

  • Is Transition to Retirement Associated With Volunteering? Longitudinal Evidence from Europe

    Open Access•Hans Hämäläinen, A O Tanskanen et al.•ARTICLE•Research on Aging•2024

    Studies have shown that retired older adults are more likely to volunteer than their working counterparts. However, whether the transition to retirement is associated with increased volunteering frequency and whether this varies according to material and time resources of participants is unclear. We used four waves of data from the longitudinal Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe, collected between 2011–2018 across 19 countries ( n …

  • Gender inequalities in social club participation in Europe: The role of women’s empowerment at the country level

    Open Access•Aïda Solé-Auró, Bruno Arpino•ARTICLE•Quality & Quantity•2024

    This study examines gender inequalities in the degree of engagement in social clubs of older people and how women’s participation relates to their empowerment at the country level. Combined individual-level data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) and country-level data from the Women’s Political Empowerment Index (WPEI) are used in analyzing 41,185 non-working individuals aged 65–84 across 19 countries. Multilevel …

  • Kinlessness at older ages: Prevalence and heterogeneity in 27 countries

    Open Access•Marta Pittavino, Bruno Arpino et al.•ARTICLE•The Journals of Gerontology…•2024•Cited by: 3•References: 12

    Understanding the prevalence of kinless older adults is critical for policy-makers and healthcare providers to design appropriate support systems for this potentially vulnerable group of people

  • The partner in the plate: The association between changes in partnership status and protein consumption among older people in Europe

    Open Access•Marta Pasqualini, Aïda Solé-Auró et al.•ARTICLE•Ageing and Society•2024•References: 46

    Experiencing a change in partnership status at older ages might have detrimental effects on an individual's habits, including eating behaviours. Prior studies presented evidence that widowhood is related to altered diets with a decrease in the amount of protein consumed, which is considered to be an important risk factor of frailty among older people. Using data from Waves 4–8 of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (N = 134,313)…

  • Prosocial activity in later life: Are informal help and care associated with volunteering and charity

    Open Access•A O Tanskanen, Hans Hämäläinen et al.•ARTICLE•Ageing and Society•2024•References: 21

    Older adults' engagement in various prosocial activities is a salient question in present-day societies that aim to promote active ageing. However, there are only a few studies focusing on associations between several types of prosocial activities, and they have rarely considered help to relatives and friends separately. Moreover, there is lack of studies considering informal monetary help and charity donations when analysing multiple prosocial a…

  • Is Intending to Have Children Rightist? A Research Note on Political Ideology and Fertility Intentions

    Open Access•Bruno Arpino, Ryohei Mogi•ARTICLE•Statistics Politics and Policy•2024•Cited by: 3•References: 12

    Social scientists have long been interested in how attitudes and values influence fertility intentions and behaviors. The role of political ideology has, on the contrary, been overlooked. Right-wing people tend to be more religious, to hold more traditional views on gender roles and on the importance of the family. Therefore, right-wing people may be more likely to hold positive fertility intentions that individuals with other political orientati…

  • Digital and other forms of contact between older European parents and children: The Role of Internet Use, Digital Skills, Emotional and Geographical Distance

    Bruno Arpino, Dalila Failli•ARTICLE•Community Work & Family•2024•Cited by: 3•References: 41

    Guided by the intergenerational solidarity model and leveraging rich data from the European Social Survey round 10 (2020–2022), we examine the role of internet use, digital skills, emotional and geographical distance in influencing various forms of contact between parents aged 60 or above and their children. Emotional closeness emerges as a universal driver of contact of all forms. Geographical proximity is positively associated with face-to-face…

  • A machine learning approach to determine the influence of specific health conditions on self-rated health across education groups

    Open Access•Jordi Gumà, Jordi Gumà-Lao et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2023

    The same response to the self-rated health question may, in the case of women, represent different health profiles in terms of the health conditions that define it. As such, gendered health inequalities defined by education appear to be evident even in the process of evaluating one's own health status

  • Less Is (Often) More: Number of Children and Health Among Older Adults in 24 Countries

    Open Access•Radosław Antczak, Nekehia T Quashie et al.•ARTICLE•The Journals of Gerontology…•2023•References: 7

    We observe a greater probability that more children are associated with poorer health in later life, especially for chronic conditions and depression. However, a universal global or regional pattern could not be identified. These findings raise new questions about how country contexts shape fertility and health

  • Non-standard family histories and wellbeing at older ages

  • Risk tolerance and fertility: Evidence from a lottery question in Italy

    Open Access•D Bellani, Bruno Arpino•ARTICLE•Journal of Marriage and the Family•2022

    Objective This article offers a contribution to the fertility literature by considering the role of risk tolerance in the fertility decision‐making process. Background Despite a long tradition in fertility research emphasizing the great uncertainty underlying the decision to have children, the role of risk tolerance has been overlooked. Elaborating on previous theoretical approaches including those that have considered children as a “security” or…

  • Juggling Grandchild Care and Labor Force Participation: The Effect on Psychological Wellbeing of Older Women

    Open Access•Bruno Arpino, D Bellani•ARTICLE•Frontiers in Sociology•2022•Cited by: 1•References: 13

    Although it is well-known that care responsibilities are strongly gendered also in later life, the consequences for older women of juggling work and care responsibilities are understudied. This study contributes to fill this gap by focusing on the wellbeing implications for older European women of combining work and grandchild care. The role strain and role enhancement theories guide our theoretical predictions. While the former predicts a lower …

  • Motivations for changing fertility plans and behaviours during the Covid-19 pandemic in Italy

    Francesca Luppi, Bruno Arpino et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Family Studies•2022•Cited by: 2•References: 6

    This study accounts for the heterogeneous consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic on fertility plans and behaviours, by focusing on the motivations for suspended pre-Covid fertility plans and on those for new fertility plans that arose during the pandemic. We rely on unique data collected with a repeated cross-sectional survey conducted in April/May 2021 and October/November 2021 on a sample of young Italians (aged 18–34). We estimate a set of mult…

  • Changes in Grandparental Childcare During the Pandemic and Mental Health: Evidence From England

    Open Access•Giorgio Di Gessa, Valeria Bordone et al.•ARTICLE•The Journals of Gerontology…•2022•Cited by: 2•References: 9

    While measures to limit physical contact and shield older people were necessary to reduce the spread of COVID-19, policymakers should acknowledge potential adverse consequences for mental health among grandparents who experienced changes in their roles as grandchild caregivers

  • Does grandparental child-care provision affect number, satisfaction and with whom leisure activities are done

    Open Access•Merih Ates, Valeria Bordone et al.•ARTICLE•Ageing and Society•2022•Cited by: 3•References: 44

    This study investigates the impact of non-intensive and intensive supplementary grandparental child care on grandparents’ involvement in leisure activities. Three aspects of leisure activities are investigated: the number/frequency of activities, with whom they are carried out and the subjective satisfaction with them. Beside the possibility of a cumulation effect, the literature suggests that providing grandparental child care might compete with…

  • What Tears Couples Apart: A Machine Learning Analysis of Union Dissolution in Germany

    Open Access•Bruno Arpino, Marco Le Moglie et al.•ARTICLE•Demography•2022•Cited by: 8•References: 78

    This study contributes to the literature on union dissolution by adopting a machine learning (ML) approach, specifically Random Survival Forests (RSF). We used RSF to analyze data on 2,038 married or cohabiting couples who participated in the German Socio-Economic Panel Survey, and found that RSF had considerably better predictive accuracy than conventional regression models. The man's and the woman's life satisfaction and the woman's percentage …

  • How Do Changes in Gender Role Attitudes Towards Female Employment Influence Fertility? A Macro-Level Analysis

    Open Access•Bruno Arpino, G Esping-Andersen et al.•ARTICLE•European Sociological Review•2015•Cited by: 56•References: 24

    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…

  • Does Grandparenting Pay Off? The Effect of Child Care on Grandparents' Cognitive Functioning

    Open Access•Bruno Arpino, Valeria Bordone•ARTICLE•Journal of Marriage and the Family•2014•Cited by: 35•References: 39

    The authors examined whether the provision of child care helps older adults maintain better cognitive functioning. Descriptive evidence from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (n = 5,610 women and n = 4,760 men, ages 50-80) shows that intensively engaged grandparents have lower cognitive scores than the others. The authors show that this result is attributable to background characteristics and not to child care per se. Using an…

    This study offers a descriptive overview of changes in fertility plans during the COVID-19 crisis in a sample of the young population (18â 34) in Italy, Germany, France, Spain, and the United Kingdom. The data were collected between 27 March and 7 April 202

  • Age Norms on Leaving Home: Multilevel Evidence from the European Social Survey

    Open Access•A Aassve, Bruno Arpino et al.•ARTICLE•Environment and Planning A…•2013•Cited by: 32•References: 41

    Young people leave the parental home at different ages, and differences exist both between and within societies. International comparisons have emphasised the importance of institutions, in particular the welfare regime, the educational system, and the labour market, as well as of long-standing cultural differences. Here we focus on subjective age norms (‘age deadlines’) for leaving home—a key determinant of actual behaviour. We analyse the data …

    Does corruption influence trust in national institutions in the same way as trust in international institutions? Did this influence change over the economic crisis 2008? Using data from the European Social Survey, we examined the association between corruption and trust in national and European parliaments before and after the start of the Great Recession 2008. We found that over the Crisis, the effect of corruption on trust in national parliamen…

  • Patterns of grandparental child care across Europe: The role of the policy context and working mothers' need

    Open Access•Valeria Bordone, Bruno Arpino et al.•ARTICLE•Ageing and Society•2017•Cited by: 31•References: 35

    Across Europe grandparents play very different roles. This paper studies to what extent grandparents' role as providers of child care relates to the country policy context, focusing on public child-care services and parental leave regulation, and to the availability of part-time jobs for women. We also explore whether mothers' needs to combine family and work differently influence the frequency of grandparental child care across countries. The an…

    Open Access•Pau Baizán Muñoz, Bruno Arpino et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Population /…•2016•Cited by: 21•References: 64

    In this paper, we aim to assess the extent to which individual-level completed fertility varies across contexts characterized by policies supporting different gender division of labor models. We examine key labor market and care policies that shape gender relations in households and in the public domain. We also consider the role of gender norms, which can act as both a moderator and a confounding factor for policy effects. We hypothesize that, b…

    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…

    This article investigates whether and how having a child impacts an individual's subjective well-being, while taking into account heterogeneity in family attitudes. People with different family orientations have different values, gender attitudes, preferences toward career and family, and expectations about how childbearing can affect their subjective well-being. These differences impact fertility decisions and the effect of parenthood on an indi…

    Drawing on the revived literature on the subjective dimension of ageing, this paper investigates whether people aged 65+, usually defined as old, do actually feel old and which events they associate with feeling old. Logistic models are used on unique data from the 2013 survey called ‘I Do Not Want to Be Inactive’, conducted on individuals aged 65–74 in Italy (N = 828). It is found that a large proportion of respondents do not feel old at all. Th…

    We show for the first time that both grandchild care and childcare outside the grandparent-grandchild relationship are associated with a youthful subjective age for older people. However, these associations are likely due to selection effects, that is, unobserved characteristics of people that make them more likely to engage in childcare and are also associated with subjective age. Our results warn against causal interpretation of associations fo…

    Open Access•Bruno Arpino•ARTICLE•Social Psychology Quarterly•2016•References: 15

    Split-ballot data are often used to study double standards. The key problem of this design is that individual double standards cannot be identified. I propose a simple two-step approach based on a matching pre-processing of the data to estimate individual double standards. Once this preliminary first step is completed, any statistical technique (e.g., regression models) can be applied on the new data. I apply the method to gender double standards…

    This article investigates whether and how having a child impacts an individual's subjective well-being, while taking into account heterogeneity in family attitudes. People with different family orientations have different values, gender attitudes, preferences toward career and family, and expectations about how childbearing can affect their subjective well-being. These differences impact fertility decisions and the effect of parenthood on an indi…

    Open Access•Valeria Bordone, Bruno Arpino et al.•ARTICLE•Ageing and Society•2017•Cited by: 31•References: 35

    Across Europe grandparents play very different roles. This paper studies to what extent grandparents' role as providers of child care relates to the country policy context, focusing on public child-care services and parental leave regulation, and to the availability of part-time jobs for women. We also explore whether mothers' needs to combine family and work differently influence the frequency of grandparental child care across countries. The an…

    Open Access•L Pessin, Bruno Arpino•ARTICLE•Demographic Research•2018•Cited by: 16•References: 44

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…

    Health differences in European populations seem to be defined, first, by education and, second, by living or not living with a partner. Additionally, different social contexts (gender inequalities, educational profile, etc.) in European countries change the influences on health of both the SDHs for both women and men

    Open Access•Giorgio Di Gessa, Valeria Bordone et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Population Ageing•2020•Cited by: 2•References: 15

    Grandparents play an important role in their family’s lives. However, little is known about the demography of grandparenthood. Given dramatic recent changes in fertility, we explore the role of number of children and age at first birth in the timing of the transition into grandparenthood focusing on Italy, a country with well-known North-South fertility differentials. We used data from the 2009 Italian Survey ‘Family and Social Relations’ ( N = 1…

  • Forever young? An analysis of the factors influencing perceptions of ageing

    Open Access•Valeria Bordone, Bruno Arpino et al.•ARTICLE•Ageing and Society•2020•Cited by: 6•References: 60

    Drawing on the revived literature on the subjective dimension of ageing, this paper investigates whether people aged 65+, usually defined as old, do actually feel old and which events they associate with feeling old. Logistic models are used on unique data from the 2013 survey called ‘I Do Not Want to Be Inactive’, conducted on individuals aged 65–74 in Italy (N = 828). It is found that a large proportion of respondents do not feel old at all. Th…
