Pathways to childlessness in Spain
Spain's fertility is among the lowest in the world, due largely to an increasing number of childless women. Childlessness, whether a voluntary choice or not, often results from postponement of childbearing. This delay could be driven partly by the increased instability of partnerships and adverse labour-market conditions. Using data from Spain's Fertility Survey 2018, we use multichannel sequence analysis to identify the most common patterns of p…
Family Trajectories After Marital Separation in Germany
Marital separation has been an important driver of the diversification of contemporary family arrangements, yet the diversity and the nature of family patterns after marital separation in Germany remain understudied. In this study, we adopt a trajectory-based approach to address two key questions. First, what are the typical family trajectories following marital separation? Second, what marital circumstances lead to specific family trajectories a…
Partnership life courses and completed fertility in Spain
BACKGROUNDFertility in Spain has declined and shifted to later ages alongside diversification of family formation, raising questions about how partnership life courses shape completed fertility by late reproductive age. OBJECTIVEWe aim to assess how key features of partnership trajectories -timing, duration, and sequencing -relate to motherhood and parity by age 41 among women in contemporary Spain, and whether associations differ by education.an…
Moving homes, changing perspectives
Early-life relocations are often linked to developmental disruptions and poorer psychological outcomes. While their long-term implications are typically attributed to the frequency of residential moves, the role of social class changes accompanying those moves remains underexplored. To address this gap, we examine whether combined patterns of residential and social class mobility during childhood associate with adolescent locus of control at age …
Residential Mobility in Childhood and Union Dissolution Later in Life
The limited existing literature studying the effects of childhood residential mobility suggests that it influences a range of life outcomes, at least in young adulthood. Little is known about how the frequency of moving in childhood is related to later-life demographic behaviour in Europe. Drawing on residential and partnership histories from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), this paper examines whether moving in chil…
Linking internal and international migration over the life course
Because internal and international migration are typically conceptualized and measured separately, empirical evidence on the links between these two forms of population movement remains partial. This paper takes a step towards integration by establishing how internal and international migration precede one another in various sequenced relationships from birth to age 50 in 20 European countries. We apply sequence and cluster analysis to full retro…
Panel Data in Research on Mobility and Migration
Panel data has become the gold standard for causal assessments of complex human behaviour in quantitative social science. The objective of this review is to examine and discuss how panel data and related methods contribute to the identification of causal relationships in spatial mobility research. We illustrate this by providing a succinct overview of recent progress in spatial mobility research, drawing on panel data. The review outlines researc…
Childhood family structure and complexity in partnership life courses
Family formation, parental background and young adults’ first entry into homeownership in Britain and Germany
Although previous research shows that family dynamics and parental socio-economic status influence the timing of young adults’ first entry into homeownership, much less is known about how the role of family factors may vary across countries with different housing systems. In this paper, we use panel survey data from Britain and Germany to compare how family life course careers and parental socio-economic background influence young adults’ initial…
Separation, divorce, and housing tenure
Housing tenure after divorce is an important factor in individualsâ well-being. Although previous studies have examined tenure changes following divorce, only a few studies have compared patterns across countries
Introduction to the special collection on spatial mobility, family dynamics, and gender relations
There is growing evidence that spatial mobility has an impact on and is driven by family dynamics and gender relations. In contexts where family diversity and complexity have increased and gender inequalities persist, it is particularly urgent that we adva
Changes in gender role attitudes following couples' residential relocations
Residential relocations of couple households are associated with increases in objective gender inequality within families in paid and unpaid work. Little is known about how couplesâ relocations affect subjective outcomes such as attitudes
Family migration in a cross-national perspective
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
My house or our home? Transitions into sole home ownership in British couples
It is mostly assumed that both partners in couples own their homes jointly. We challenge this assumption and examine the individual ownership configurations within couples in Britain. We argue that the individual legal status as an owner will determine to
Domestic Outsourcing, Housework Time, and Subjective Time Pressure
Hiring household help could reduce housework time and alleviate subjective time pressure. Associations are assumed to be particularly apparent for women because they spend more time on housework than men. But empirical evidence on whether hiring help actually saves time or relieves time pressure is scant and inconclusive, chiefly because of data and methodological limitations. This study improves on earlier ones in that the authors examined panel…
Dynamics of Domestic Labor Across Short- and Long-Distance Family Relocations
Family relocations within developed countries are argued to have gendered consequences for paid employment, with men's careers improving and women's careers deteriorating. However, little is known about their potential relationships with outcomes in other life domains, including partnered men's and women's relative shares of domestic labor. The authors addressed this gap in knowledge by theorizing and examining how within-couple gender gaps in do…
Falling Out of Love and Down the Housing Ladder
We analyse the interdependence between marital separation and home ownership. Past research showed that separations reduce the likelihood of owning a home. We add to this literature by allowing partners to be aware of the risk of separation in our empirical analysis. We analyse (i) residential moves to owned and rented dwellings and (ii) the selection processes between ownership and separation. We also assess differences by gender and for two dif…
