The long-term effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on loneliness in European older women and men: A growth curve analysis
This study examines the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on loneliness among adults aged 65 and over across 27 European countries, focusing on gender differences and the role of government-imposed containment measures. Using longitudinal data from four waves of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), pre-pandemic (Wave 8), two SHARE Corona surveys (2020-2021), and post-pandemic (Wave 9), the analyses include 49,351…
Distribution of gender and labour force participation and filial support types in Europe and Israel
Informal care-giving studies have largely ignored how gender and labour force participation intersect to shape filial support across diverse national contexts over time. In particular, comparative longitudinal research that explores care-giving intensity in relation to adult children’s employment status and gender remains scarce. This study addresses this gap by developing a typology of filial support and examining how care-giving patterns vary b…
Evaluating the effectiveness of lifestyle education for individuals at increased risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases (Halt2Diabetes): Protocol for a repeated measures study
This study is registered with the ISRCTN registry, identifier: ISRCTN62149214 ( https://www.isrctn.com/ISRCTN62149214 ). The date of registration is March 13, 2025
Young adult carers in Flanders: Comparing Mental Health Vulnerability Across Age Groups
This article utilizes large-scale quantitative data from Flanders (Belgium) to examine the mental health vulnerability of young adult carers compared to carers of different ages. We analyse a sample of 7,265 respondents using regression techniques to explore the associations between care burden and mental health. The analysis reveals that mental health vulnerability peaks between ages 18 and 25, particularly for those carrying higher care burdens…
Children’s Opportunities and Constraints in European Parent Care Over Time: A Within-Family Approach
The role of children's caregiving has received substantial attention in studies on care in old age. Previous research shows that children’s care provision is strongly intertwined with both their individual and siblings’ situation regarding employment and geographic parent-child distance. This study uses data from six waves of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), taking a within-family approach, to examine how caregiving …
The effects of adult children's gender composition on the care type and care network of ageing parents
Although the literature on informal care-giving for older parents shows that daughters have a higher tendency to provide care compared with sons, only a few studies have focused on the gender composition of all children or parents’ entire range of care options. Our study examines the effect of children's gender composition on informal and formal care types, as well as the informal care network. Using data from the 2015 Survey of Health, Ageing an…
Sibling transmission of relationship breakup: Does partnership type matter
Previous research has highlighted the impact of social network partners on individuals' attitudes and behaviors and the significant role that siblings often play in providing lifelong support, especially in times of important life events. However, a few studies have examined the intragenerational transmission of divorce risks. Given the increasing prevalence of unmarried cohabitation, however, no study has yet unraveled the link between siblings'…
Siblings' similarities and dissimilarities: A review of theoretical perspectives and empirical insights
Although siblings may differ considerably, the similarities between them are often an important source of emotional support in one's life and influence one's life course trajectories. In this review on the topic of sibling relationship and cross‐sibling effect interactions, we aim to encourage research interest and facilitate knowledge building. We begin our review by highlighting how the parental home may induce differentiation between siblings.…
An integrative analysis of sibling influences on adult children's care-giving for parents
The extent to which, and the reasons why, children help to care for their parents are examined in an extensive range of literature. Although care for parents essentially takes place in parent–child dyads, many of these studies acknowledge that the amount of care a child gives is generally the outcome of collective decisions in multiple-child families. However, to our knowledge, no research in Europe enhances our understanding of how sibling chara…
Should I stay or should I go? Explaining variation in nonstate actor advocacy over time in global governance
The past decades have been characterized by a growing number of nonstate actors (NSAs) involved in global governance. However, despite this growth, only a small number of NSAs have been able to maintain a prolonged global presence over a substantial period of time. To explain why some NSAs are more active, we rely on resource dependence theory. We demonstrate that sustained advocacy over time can be explained by a density dependence mechanism, na…
Parental health, informal support, and geographic mobility between parents and adult children
Intergenerational solidarity is crucial to address the needs of ageing people. Numerous studies have identified geographic distance between parents and children as an important determinant of intergenerational support. This paper aims to examine to what extent parents' functional disabilities and children's support involvement relate to changing geographic parent–child proximity. We also take a comparative approach to study patterns of geographic…
Educational differentials in cohabitors' marriage intentions at different childbearing stages in seven European countries
Impact de la situation économique sur la mise en couple en France (1993-2008) selon le niveau d'études
La mise en couple tardive est considérée comme l'un des principaux canaux par lesquels le contexte économique et la situation vis-à-vis de l'emploi influent sur la fécondité. L'article s'appuie sur des données individuelles longitudinales issues des deux premières vagues de l'enquête française Étude des relations familiales et intergénérationnelles ( Generations and Gender Survey , Erfi-GGS), ainsi que des données contextuelles mensuelles sur les…
