The Role of Late Fatherhood and Grandfatherhood on Retirement Timing in Sweden
Across Western countries, men’s retirement decisions are increasingly being linked to their family circumstances. At the same time, postponed childbearing and increasing family complexity, such as separations and repartnering, have led to greater possibilities for men to have children later in lives and to have young children and young grandchildren during the same period of their life. This study investigates whether having children later in lif…
Cohabitation and Marriage Formation in Times of Fertility Decline: The Case of Sweden in the Twenty-First Century
Developments over time in the prevalence of marriage and cohabitation formation has long received much interest, but less is known about more recent developments for different population subgroups in European countries. This applies as well to Sweden, a country considered a forerunner in family-demographic change. In contrast, much attention has been paid to the falling birth rates during the 2010s, and explanations that focus on the role of incr…
Disentangling the Swedish fertility decline of the 2010s

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.

This study examines how discrepancies between the perceived ideal sharing of parental leave and the actual division of leave, as well as satisfaction …

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…
Digit preferences in marriage formation in Sweden: Millennium marriages and birthday peaks
Digit preferences are normally seen as potentially harmful biases in respondentsâ reports. Possibly such preferences might also be the cause of some patterns found in Swedish marriage formation, thus affecting actual demographic behavior
Sweden's marriage revival: An analysis of the new-millennium switch from long-term decline to increasing popularity
Usually seen as a forerunner in the development of new trends in family-demographic behaviour, Sweden has recently experienced a reversal in marriage trends, from a steady decline in marriage rate between the 1960s and 1990s, to a steady increase beginning in 1998. An event-history analysis of women's first marriages in the period 1991-2007, using register data, shows that compositional changes in labour-market activity and childbearing can only …
