The Diffusion of Cohabitation Among Immigrants in Europe
Immigrants and their descendants constitute an increasing share of European populations, yet research on how immigrant background shapes the cohabitation experience remains limited. This study investigates how generational status at the individual level and national context at the macro level influence the likelihood of ever having cohabited. Our central proposition is that the diffusion of cohabitation among immigrants is more pronounced in coun…
The Changing Educational Gradient in Nontraditional Attitudes toward Family Behavior
The second demographic transition (SDT) theory highlights how nontraditional family behaviors first emerged in Nordic countries and diffused elsewhere. Cross‐national variations in approval of such behaviors across educational groups and changes over time remain underexplored, however. Using European Social Survey data (2006, 2018) from 21 countries, we examine approval of voluntary childlessness, nonmarital cohabitation, nonmarital childbearing,…

Leaving Home in Finland
This paper examines how immigrant origin and neighbourhood environment intersect to shape the timing and pathways of leaving the parental home in Finland, a comparatively new migration destination. Using large‐scale longitudinal Finnish register data for the 1990–1995 birth cohorts ( N = 369,629), we analyse the dynamics of leaving home among majority and immigrant‐origin young adults. Our study demonstrates, for the first time, that the socio‐sp…
Ideations and Intentions in the Transition to Adulthood
Ideations and intentions are important precursors of actual behaviour but are still understudied in the literature on the transition to adulthood. This article provides a descriptive overview of ideations and intentions about the timing of four key events in the transition to adulthood - exit from the parental home, cohabitation, marriage, and parenthood - using cross-national representative data for 33 European countries from the Generations and…

Life-course Factors and Later Life Health in Eastern and Western Europe
Human development and ageing are lifelong processes, where earlier life conditions and events are interlinked with later life outcomes. Patterns of inequality within and among cohorts emerge over time as products of the interplay between institutional arrangements and individual life, often dependent on childhood or earlier life circumstances. The life conditions and experiences of older adults in Eastern and Western Europe differ significantly, …
Unpacking intentions to leave the parental home in Europe using the Generations and Gender Survey
Comparative research has shown considerable cross-national differences in the age at leaving the parental home across Europe. Intentions to leave home might help to shed light on such marked heterogeneity in patterns of home-leaving
Gendered intergenerational time transfers in Estonia
Extant research on intergenerational domestic time transfers rarely includes Estonia. This, combined with distinct socio-structural features relevant to such transfers â a post-communist welfare regime, high female labor force participation, and high level
Differences in leaving home by individual and parental education among young adults in Europe
There is a strong variation in young adultsâ leaving-home behavior throughout Europe. Earlier research has indicated that individual and parental education are crucial determinants of leaving home. It is, however, unclear how country contexts shape the ass
Living Arrangements of Young Adults in Europe
Comparative research suggests that there are great cross-national and cross-temporal differences in living arrangements of young adults aged 18-34 in Europe. In this paper, we examine young adults’ living arrangements (1) across several European countries and different national contexts, and (2) by taking into account cross-time variability. In doing so, we pay careful attention to a comprehensive conceptualisation of living arrangements (includi…
