Relationships among adult full, half, and stepsiblings
ObjectiveThis article aims to compare adult sibling ties of stepsiblings to the ties of full and half-siblings in divorced families, widowed families, and single-parent families.BackgroundSiblings are one of the most stable sources of attachment and companionship over the life course and function as important providers of practical and emotional support when going through important life transitions. Due to a steep rise in divorce over the past de…
Internal mobility of international migrants in Europe
This paper reviews the literature on the internal mobility of international migrants and their descendants in Europe from an interdisciplinary perspective. Europe is becoming increasingly diverse. Where international migrants live and move to after arriving in their destination country influences both individual life courses and macro‐level population compositions. So far, a comprehensive overview of internal mobility patterns and drivers among m…

Kinkeeping Across Families
A kinkeeper is the person within the household that is involved in the management of family relationships, a position traditionally fulfilled by women. Due to the increased complexity of family life, which resulted from the rise in divorce and remarriage, the kinkeeper role might nowadays be particularly important but also more ambiguous. First, we examined differences in parental involvement in kinkeeping (buying presents, organizing outings, re…
Dissonant relationships to biological parents and stepparents and the well-being of adult children
We examined the importance of adult children's ties with biological parents and stepparents for well-being in adulthood. We particularly focused on situations in which adult children are not close with the new partner of their biological parent, their stepparent. Following balance theory, it is straining to be in an unbalanced pattern (i.e., close to biological parent, not close to stepparent). Firstly, we studied how many adults are close to the…
Does the impact of the family increase or decrease over the life course? Sibling similarities in occupational status across different career points
In this study, we examine how the influence of the family on occupational success fluctuates when studying different points across individuals’ lives (i.e., from career entry to midlife). Resource theories propose that individuals with more parental resources will continue to profit as they get to later life-stages, increasing their advantage over others. In contrast, signaling theories predict that parental resources will lose their importance w…
Fatherhood in Complex Families
ObjectiveWe examined adult children's concurrent ties to biological fathers and stepfathers. Three mechanisms potentially determining the strength of father-child and stepfather-child ties were tested, namely, investment, interdependence, and substitution.BackgroundAs most research studied father-child and stepfather-child ties separately, our knowledge about the potential substitution dynamics between the two ties is limited.MethodWe used the Du…
Family Complexity into Adulthood
As a result of the divorce revolution, more children grow up in complex families. Yet, we know little about how family complexity affects relationships when children are adults and parents are ageing. In this article, we use unique survey data to test fundamental ideas about intergenerational ties: the role of biology, partnerships (marriage and cohabitation), residence, and selection. The survey used a register-based oversample of Dutch adults w…
A Multi-Actor Study of Adult Children and Their Parents in Complex Families
This data brief gives an overview of the background, design, and content of the multi-actor OKiN survey (Ouders en Kinderen in Nederland; Parents and Children in The Netherlands). The purpose of OKiN is to examine the individual consequences of family complexity for intergenerational relations, intergenerational reproduction, and individual health and well-being. Another goal of OKiN is to generate detailed and nationally representative descripti…
