Employment Vulnerability and Union Dissolution
Trends in fertility preferences among Italian young adults
In examining Italy's low fertility, recent studies have emphasized the role played by socio-economic factors, uncertainty, and the welfare state. Meanwhile, emerging research is highlighting a potential downward revision of fertility ideals among more recent generations. Our study analyses trends in fertility desires and expectations among young adults in Italy from 2012 to 2022. Findings reveal growing tendencies to: (1) not desire children, amo…
Generalised morality and contemporary fertility dynamics across European regions
This study focuses on the concept of generalised morality (GM), a cultural trait measured with the values of respect, obedience, generalised trust and control. Since GM drives economic prosperity and the way nations organise their welfare, we investigate how it matters for contemporary fertility trends. We consider the period between 2000 and 2014, when divergent fertility trends in Europe arose and the Great Recession took place. Using Eurostat …
Évolutions régionales des naissances pendant l'épidémie de Covid-19 en Allemagne, en Espagne, en France et en Italie
Les données recueillies au début de la pandémie de Covid-19 révèlent des effets contrastés sur le nombre de naissances en Europe. Cette note de recherche compare les tendances régionales du taux global de fécondité (TGF) avant et après le début de la pandémie dans les quatre pays européens les plus peuplés : l'Allemagne, l'Espagne, la France et l'Italie. Elle examine la relation entre l'évolution du TGF pendant la pandémie et différents facteurs …
Leaving and returning to the parental home during Covid times in France, Italy, Germany, Spain, and the United Kingdom
BACKGROUND: During the first year of the COVID pandemic, many European young adults abandoned or delayed their plans to achieve housing autonomy, especially those facing vulnerable employment conditions and in contexts with limited welfare state provision for the young population. OBJECTIVE: The present study contributes to this body of knowledge by examining plans and behaviours associated with leaving the parental home among young individuals (…
Satisfaction with work–family roles and the relationship with working parents’ life satisfaction
In this paper, we provide an innovative conceptualization of the work–family balance, and its implications for mothers’ and fathers’ life satisfaction, by drawing on ‘Self Determination Theory’ and ‘Job Demand-Control–Support’ model for the ‘basic psychological needs’ in partnership, parenting, and work. We analyse whether work and family satisfaction have different meanings for mothers and fathers, and whether it has equal importance in determin…
Motivations for changing fertility plans and behaviours during the Covid-19 pandemic in Italy
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…
A first glance into the black box of life satisfaction surrounding childbearing
The vast majority of studies looking into the relationship between childbearing and subjective well-being use overall measures where respondents either report their general level of happiness or their life satisfaction, leaving substantial doubt about the underlying mechanisms. However, life satisfaction and happiness are intuitively multidimensional concepts, simply because there cannot be only one aspect that affects individuals' well-being. In…
The impact of Covid-19 on fertility plans in Italy, Germany, France, Spain, and the United Kingdom
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
Childcare arrangements and working mothers' satisfaction with work-family balance
Difficulties with workâ family reconciliation contribute to explaining the low participation of women in the labour market and low fertility levels in several developed countries. Understanding how much different types of childcare can help mothers to balan
Parents' subjective well-being after their first child and declining fertility expectations
Recent studies have suggested a decline in subjective well-being after the birth of a first child. Yet parents' subjective well-being is, in general, linked positively to wanting and to having additional children
When is the Second One Coming? The Effect of Couple’s Subjective Well-Being Following the Onset of Parenthood
Pathways of democratisation to human development in post-communist countries
The article investigates the consequences of post-Cold War regime transitions on human development in the former Soviet bloc. Relying on a mixed-methods research strategy that combines econometric and qualitative comparative analysis, it proceeds through three consecutive steps. First, there is a discussion of how democratic institutions may solicit governments’ attention toward social issues. Second, the relationship between democratisation and …
