Context disadvantage and residential mobility from early life into adulthood: Impacts on socio-economic outcomes
Individuals’ socio-economic trajectories are shaped by both persistence and change in their residential environments, making it essential to examine how the socio-spatial dynamics of context disadvantage and residential mobility interact over the life course. While prior research has often studied these factors separately and within specific life stages, less is known about their compound effects and their interrelatedness across childhood and ad…
The Spatial Determinants of Academic Aspirations: Evidence From Sweden
Differences in access to higher education are a well‐known contributor to socioeconomic inequalities. Yet, despite considerable interest from policymakers, we know little about the processes linking geographic proximity to academic opportunity. Here we investigate how distance to higher education institutions (HEI) shapes students' academic aspirations. Proximity to HEIs has the potential to reduce the social, financial, and emotional costs of at…
To what extent do disadvantaged neighbourhoods mediate social assistance dependency? Evidence from Sweden
This article investigates social assistance dependency and its relation to neighbourhood disadvantage in Sweden. We combine Swedish register data, tracking and analysing a cohort from 1998-2017, with the help of causal mediation, our analysis identifies the impact of early-adulthood social assistance on mid-adulthood social assistance. More specifically, we examine the mediating roles of neighbourhood conditions and compare this effect to the wel…
School composition and academic decisions
Research on the effects of school composition tends to focus on how it shapes school achievement. In this study, we instead examine how school composition shapes children's educational aspirations, given their achievement, and if children from different socio-economic backgrounds are affected differently. We apply school-fixed effects on Swedish register data, including all 9th-grade students from 2013 to 2017. Being exposed to a high share of lo…
Residential choice following separation and widowhood in middle and later life in Belgium and Sweden
It is well‐documented that residential moves are connected to life events such as separation or widowhood. However, much less is known about the residential choices that follow these events in middle and later life (between ages 50 and 70) and how the location of family members outside the household relates to these choices. Comparing the cases of Belgium and Sweden, this paper addresses (i) the extent to which (im)mobility after separation or wi…
Adult children's gender, number and proximity and older parents’ moves to institutions: Evidence from Sweden
Older people's ability to thrive independently of their adult children is an important feature of a universalistic welfare system. However, population ageing puts this notion under stress. In separate multinomial logistic regression models for older men and women, we examined whether adult children's gender, number and proximity were associated with older parents’ relocations into residential care facilities, and whether the effects of these chil…
Geographical distance between child and parent after a union dissolution in Sweden, 1974-2011
Divorce is associated with a weakened relationship between the child and the nonresident parent, usually the father. This loss of contact is likely to be even further exacerbated if this parent lives at a substantial distance from the child
Escaping one's disadvantage? Neighbourhoods, socioeconomic origin and children's adult life outcomes
This study investigates if neighbourhoods can alter the strong relationship between parental background and children's adult outcomes. In particular, we examine if neighbourhood effects are heterogeneous in such a way that they are particularly important for children from disadvantaged backgrounds, and if school quality has a mediating effect in this equation. Using register data and individualized neighbourhoods, we follow five full birth cohort…
Getting married in a highly individualized context: Commitment and gender equality matter
Objective This study examines the roles of commitment and gender equality for marriage formation in a highly individualized and gender‐egalitarian context. Background Marriage is commonly perceived as a more committed form of union than cohabitation. Individualization perspectives propose that this discourages marriage formation, whereas gender perspectives suggest that this is only the case for couples living inegalitarian lives. Method The role…
Parental Leave within the Workplace: A Re-assessment of Opposite Educational Gradients for Women and Men
Educational gradients in parental leave length are opposite for women and men: highly educated women return to work faster than those with low education while highly educated men are absent longer than less educated men. Explanations for the opposite gradients are typically made at the individual- or couple-level. To date, no quantitative study has documented whether the opposite educational gradients hold also within workplaces. In this study, w…
The opportunity structure of segregation: School choice and school segregation in Sweden
It is a matter of debate whether free school choice should lead to higher or lower levels of school segregation. We investigate how school choice opportunities affect school segregation utilizing geocoded Swedish population register data with information on 13 cohorts of ninth graders. We find that local school choice opportunities strongly affect the sorting of students across schools based on the parents' country of birth and level of education…
A population-based cohort study of socio-demographic risk factors for Covid-19 deaths in Sweden
As global deaths from COVID-19 continue to rise, the world’s governments, institutions, and agencies are still working toward an understanding of who is most at risk of death. In this study, data on all recorded COVID-19 deaths in Sweden up to May 7, 2020 are linked to high-quality and accurate individual-level background data from administrative registers of the total population. By means of individual-level survival analysis we demonstrate that…
Geographic mobility among older people and their adult children: The role of parents' health issues and family ties
This research examines the relationship between older parents' health issues and (i) their relocations closer to their faraway adult children, (ii) their relocations into institutionalised care facilities, or (iii) having distant children move closer. Additionally, we investigate how these relocations are structured by children's gender and location. We focused on parents aged 80 years and older and their distant children. Multinomial logistic re…
Does similarity in work-family related attitudes improve relationship quality? Evidence from Sweden
This study examines how similarity in work-family related attitudes matter for relationship satisfaction and union dissolution among Swedish couples. It utilizes a data set from 2009 (the Young Adult Panel Study) containing information on 1055 opposite-sex couples (married or co-residential), and registered union dissolutions up to 2014. Results indicate that couples who have similar notions on the importance of being successful at work; on the i…
Ethnic Composition of Schools and Students’ Educational Outcomes: Evidence from Sweden
We examine the impact of ethnic school composition on students’ educational outcomes using Swedish population register data. We add to the literature on the consequences of ethnic school segregation for native and immigrant students by distinguishing social interaction effects from selection and environmental effects through one- and two-way fixed effects models. Our findings demonstrate that native and immigrant students’ grades are relatively u…
Who Moves to Whom? Gender Differences in the Distance Moved to a Shared Residence
Although the migration of couples and families is well examined, the migration that occurs at the start of co-residence has only been minimally studied. This study examines (1) whether women move more often and move over longer distances at the start of co-residence and (2) whether gender differences (if any) stem from compositional differences between women and men, such as gender differences in ties, or if they are the consequence of the within…
Can the trailing spouse phenomenon be explained by employer recruitment choices
It is well known that couples tend to relocate for the sake of the man's career rather than the woman's, also known as the “trailing spouse phenomenon.” The role of employer choices in this process is unknown however. If employers are hesitant to make job offers to women who live a long way from the workplace (e.g., because of work–family balance concerns or a perceived risk that they will not follow through on their applications, or stay hired i…
Do high levels of home-ownership create unemployment? Introducing the missing link between housing tenure and unemployment
A large number of studies have demonstrated that the proportion of home-owners in a region tend to be positively associated with the unemployment levels in that region. In this paper, we introduce a missing piece of explaining this commonly found pattern. By analysing individual-level population register data on Sweden, we jointly examine the effects of micro- and macro-level home-ownership on individuals’ unemployment. The findings indicate that…
Sharing the Caring: Attitude-Behavior Discrepancies and Partnership Dynamics
Even though ideals in favor of gender equality in the private sphere are wide spread, discrepancies between ideals and actual behavior are common. Such discrepancies and potential dissatisfaction with gender unequal behavior within a couple are expected to influence partnership dynamics negatively. This study examines how discrepancies between the perceived ideal sharing of parental leave and the actual division of leave, as well as satisfaction …
Does Unequal Housework Lead to Divorce? Evidence from Sweden
The lack of couple-level data hinders direct exploration of how inconsistencies in couples' housework reports structure their relationship quality. We address this limitation by applying Swedish data from the 2009 Young Adult Panel Study ( N = 1057 couples) matched with Swedish register data (2009-2014) to extend equity theory by estimating mismatch in couples' housework reports on relationship satisfaction and stability. We find women who report…
Women have a stronger say in couples’ decisions to have a child
Sweden stands out as a forerunner in the development of gender equality and family dynamics. To deepen the knowledge on power distribution and gender dynamics of couple relations, we investigate how women and men’s childbearing intentions influence actual childbearing behavior. The Young Adult Panel Study (YAPS) has information on both partners’ childbearing intentions in 2009, which we follow for five years with register data on childbearing. Th…
Division of housework and his and her view of housework fairness: A typology of Swedish couples
Housework studies have long documented a fairness paradox, whereby unequal divisions of housework are evaluated as fair. Gender equality, both at home and at work, is strongly normative in a highly egalitarian country like Sweden, but not always matched by
Family migration in a cross-national perspective: The importance of institutional and cultural context
Migration rates of dual-earner couples are lower than those of male-breadwinner couples. We revisit this issue using a cross-national comparative perspective and examine heterogeneity in the role of female employment in couple relocations. We propose a the
Gender, Gender Ideology, and Couples' Migration Decisions
Couples generally move to accommodate men's, rather than women's, career opportunities. Using Swedish panel data including 1,039 married or cohabiting individuals, this study examines the importance of traditional gender ideology and behavior in explaining this pattern. Two dimensions of gender and migration are examined: (a) the willingness to move for a partner's career and (b) the likelihood of couple migration for one's own work or educationa…
Domestic gender equality and childbearing in Sweden
Sweden, which is among the most gender-equal societies in the world, combines 'modern' family patterns such as unmarried cohabitation, delayed parenthood, high maternal labor force participation, and high break-up rates - all usually linked with low birth

Couples' Education and Regional Mobility – the Importance of Occupation, Income and Gender
People with high education are more geographically mobile than people with lower education. Further, highly educated men are more mobile than highly educated women, and the man's education affects couples' migration propensities more than the woman's. This study examines whether the reasons for the higher migration propensities among highly educated people are the occupational characteristics and income commonly associated with high education. Fu…

Getting married in a highly individualized context: Commitment and gender equality matter
Objective This study examines the roles of commitment and gender equality for marriage formation in a highly individualized and gender‐egalitarian context. Background Marriage is commonly perceived as a more committed form of union than cohabitation. Individualization perspectives propose that this discourages marriage formation, whereas gender perspectives suggest that this is only the case for couples living inegalitarian lives. Method The role…
