Partnership Histories and the Gender Gap in Wealth Among Older Singles
We document the gender wealth gap among single individuals aged 50 or more, an age group where wealth differences might be particularly pronounced and relevant for economic well-being. We investigate to what extent differences in partnership histories can explain the gender gap in household wealth among singles in four countries using data from SHARE. Whereas we do not find a gender gap in wealth of singles in the Czech Republic, we find that sin…
A Marriage Premium for Whom? Sexual Identity, Relationship Status and Earnings
Objective This article aims to understand how relationship status is associated with earnings among LGB people. Background Previous research has found that marriage is related to higher earnings for men and lower earnings for women, but has not often considered whether this holds across different sexual identities. Method We use the longitudinal Understanding Society data from the UK to show how the earnings of LGB individuals are associated with…
Decomposing Gender Identity Differences in Subjective Well-Being Using Two Colombian Surveys
The aim of this study is to understand mental well-being differences among cisgender, transgender, and nonbinary people in Colombia. On the one hand, the authors quantify the importance of economic and social resources in explaining such differences. On the other hand, they document the role played by experiences of discrimination. The authors use two different datasets to achieve these goals. First, they use nonprobabilistic data from the Willia…
Escape” from home? The moderating role of sexual orientation on the association between social origin and educational attainment
Previous research has documented that sexual orientation relates to educational attainment, and that it might do so differently for men and women. In this paper, we investigate to what extent sexual orientation moderates the relationship between social origin and educational attainment and whether the educational premium among lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) people might be concentrated among individuals from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. We p…
Quantifying the Role of Self-Declared Obstacles to Unachieved Fertility
The discrepancies between desired and actual fertility rates are one of the key topics in fertility studies. This paper aims to explore the fertility gap—the difference between desired fertility size and actual fertility outcomes, and how this gap can be decomposed according to the importance of various perceived barriers to fertility. This article introduces an innovative approach to quantify the impact of removing obstacles that individuals rep…
The gendered economic consequences of forming a single-parent household after separation
ObjectiveTo document gender differences in income trajectories before and after forming a single-parent household following separation in Belgium between 2005 and 2018.BackgroundPrevious research has shown that the economic consequences of partnership dissolution are less severe for fathers than for mothers because of the greater likelihood for women to live with children after separation than men. However, it remains unclear how economic conditi…
Lowest low fertility in Spain
BACKGROUNDSpain has one of the most enduring low levels of fertility in the world, but desired fertility there is still close to two children. OBJECTIVESWe document recent fertility trends and examine the reasons that women and men provide for not achieving their desired fertility. METHODWe use data from the 2018 Spanish Fertility Survey (14,556 women and 2,619 men).We provide a cohort and age perspective and compare women and men.We use retrospe…
Pathways and obstacles to parenthood among women in same-sex couples in Spain
Altres ajuts: CERCA, Generalitat de Catalunya
Re-considering Re-partnering
Past studies have established the existence of a persistent gender gap in re-partnering, wherein women are less likely to re-partner than men in the general population. Existing theories and explanations focus on women's and men's socio-demographic characteristics as mechanisms determining their opportunities, needs, and attractiveness in the re-partnering process. However, this work assumes that people are heterosexual and overlooks sexual minor…
Does intergenerational educational mobility vary by sexual identity? A comparative analysis of five OECD countries
Lesbian, gay and bisexual people are disadvantaged in terms of health and socio-economic status compared with heterosexual people, yet findings pertaining to educational outcomes vary depending on the specific identity and gender considered. This study delves into these unexplained findings by applying a social-stratification lens, thereby providing an account of how intergenerational educational mobility varies by sexual identity. To accomplish …
Sexuality and Demographic Change
Narratives of demographic shifts overlook how societal changes shape the family trajectories of sexual minorities. Using sequence analysis, we describe how partnering and parenthood evolve over the life course of lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) women and men in the United Kingdom (N = 455) and how the types of these family trajectories changed across two birth cohorts (born before 1965 and in 1965–1979). We find five distinct trajectories betwee…
The polarization of real estate ownership and increasing wealth inequality in Spain
Recent research has shown that differences in the distribution of real estate wealth across households are the most important explanation for cross-national variation in wealth inequality. We extend this line of research by looking at change over time and quantifying the importance of two opposing trends related to housing for wealth inequality: declining homeownership rates and increases in multiple property ownership. Our analysis is based on d…
Social mobility and partnering. The salience of mobility homogamy
Gendered Diverging Destinies
The prevalence of nontraditional family structures has increased over time, particularly among socioeconomically disadvantaged families. Because children's socioeconomic attainments are positively associated with growing up in a two-parent household, changing family structures are considered to have strengthened the reproduction of social inequalities across generations. However, several studies have shown that childhood family structure relates …
Are Increasing Earnings Associations between Partners of Concern for Inequality? A Comparative Study of 21 Countries
Partners increasingly resemble each other in terms of earnings across Western countries. These increases in earnings similarity are often considered to be drivers behind growing income inequality between households. We argue that increases in earnings similarity do not necessarily lead to augmented inequality between households. Their overall effect depends on whether and how the processes that increase earnings similarity affect inequality throu…
Global Trends in Education Inequality
We document trends in global education inequality and its between and within-country components using absolute, intermediate and relative inequality measures. Existing studies have relied on converting categorical variables into continuous ones to estimate levels of inequality. Such procedures might not capture recent expansions in the duration of educational programmes. We therefore compiled a database of 1164 datasets with information on years …
Gender and Changes in Household Wealth after the Dissolution of Marriage and Cohabitation in Germany
Objective To document how changes in household wealth following the dissolution of marriage and cohabitation differ by gender in Germany. Background Marital property regimes usually prescribe that both partners receive a share of the couple's wealth following a divorce. The dissolution of cohabiting unions is not governed by marital property regimes in most countries, including Germany. Because men, on average, legally own a larger share of coupl…
The influence of partners’ resources on women’s employment in Mexico
We analyse how women’s participation in the labour market is influenced by their partner’s resources in Mexico. Theory predicts opposing partner effects: specialization and bargaining theory predicts a negative association between partners’ resources and women’s work status, whereas social capital and gender equality approaches suggest a positive effect. In order to test these hypotheses, we structure our study around three main research question…
Do same-sex unions dissolve more often than different-sex unions? Methodological insights from Colombian data on sexual behavior
Conclusions about differences in union dissolution rates between same-sex couples and different-sex couples vary across studies and countries. Previous research identifies same-sex couples solely using information on the sex of partners
The Wealth of Parents
This article describes trends in parental wealth homogamy among union cohorts formed between 1987 and 2013 in Denmark. Using high-quality register data on the wealth of parents during the year of partnering, we show that the correlation between partners’ levels of parental wealth is considerably lower compared with estimates from research on other countries. Nonetheless, parental wealth homogamy is high at the very top of the parental wealth dist…
Legalizing Same-Sex Marriage Matters for the Subjective Well-being of Individuals in Same-Sex Unions
We investigate whether the subjective well-being of individuals in same-sex unions improved following the legalization of same-sex marriage in England and Wales in March 2014. We employ repeated cross-sectional data from the 2011–2016 Annual Population Surveys on 476,411 persons, including 4,112 individuals in coresidential same-sex relationships. The analysis reveals increases in subjective well-being for individuals in same-sex relationships fo…
Same-Sex Parents and Children’s School Progress
Research is divided as to whether children living in same-sex parent families achieve different outcomes compared with their peers. In this article, we improve on earlier estimates of such differences and subsequently study whether and why the association between parental union sex composition and children’s school progress changed over time. Data from the American Community Survey waves 2008–2015 (N = 1,952,490 including 7,792 children living wi…
Childhood Family Structure and the Accumulation of Wealth Across the Life Course
Objective: The aim of this article is to document how childhood family structure is related to the accumulation of wealth.Background: Childhood family structure is a commonly studied determinant of child and adult outcomes, but little is known about its effects on wealth accumulation. Wealth is affected by a wide variety of factors, including human capital formation, family dynamics, and intergenerational transfers. Studying wealth therewith shed…
Educational Assortative Mating as a Determinant of Changing Household Income Inequality
Despite the intuitive notion that educational homogamy matters for the distribution of economic resources across households, existing research finds that changes in educational homogamy have had little impact on inequality between households. In this article, we document whether this conclusion generalizes to 21 countries and aim to understand the reasons why. We use data from the Luxembourg Income Studies to simulate the impact of both observed …
Why does women's education stabilize marriages? The role of marital attraction and barriers to divorce
Despite widespread attention paid to the negative correlation between female education and divorce, we lack an explanation for it. In this study we use social exchange theory to assess two broad groups of explanations. According to the â marital attractionâ
Family Dynamics and Child Outcomes
Understanding Heterogeneity in the Effects of Parental Separation on Educational Attainment in Britain
We use the British Cohort Study 1970 to show that the proportion of children achieving a tertiary education degree is 8 percentage points lower for the offspring of separated parents than for children from intact families. Moreover, the children of highly educated parents experience a two times larger 'separation penalty' than the children of less educated parents. We find a similar pattern of heterogeneity in effects for the likelihood of partic…
Couple Specialization in Multiple Equilibria
We address the issue of men’s lagged adaptation to the ongoing revolution of women’s roles. This article proposes a multiple equilibrium approach and shows how modes of couple specialization cluster around qualitatively distinct logics. We identify a traditional, egalitarian, and ‘unstable’ equilibrium. Theory posits that stable equilibria rest on strong normative abidance, and yield more equitable outcomes. In contrast, unstable equilibria are l…

Non-intact families and diverging educational destinies
We examine whether the presence of non-intact families in society is related to increased inequality in educational attainment according to social background, as suggested by the 'diverging destinies' thesis. We analyze four countries, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, and the United States, that differ in the prevalence of non-intact families and in the strength of the negative association between growing up in a non-intact family and children…
Explaining Conflicting Results in Research on the Heterogeneous Effects of Parental Separation on Children’s Educational Attainment According to Social Background
In recent years, researchers have become increasingly interested in how the effects of parental separation on children's educational attainment vary with social background. On the one hand, parents with more resources might be better able to prevent possible adverse events like separation to affect their children's outcomes. On the other hand, children from higher social backgrounds might have more resources to lose from a parental separation. A …

Can Personality Explain the Educational Gradient in Divorce? Evidence From a Nationally Representative Panel Survey
The social demographic literature on divorce suggests that the lower educated are more likely to have personality traits that reduce relationship stability. However, few empirical verifications of this proposition exist. To fill this void, we look at the distribution of personality traits across educational groups of married individuals in Britain. Using data from the British Household Panel Survey ( N = 2,665), we first estimated the effects of …

Jackpot? Gender Differences in the Effects of Lottery Wins on Separation
In this study, information on small to modest lottery wins from the British Household Panel Survey (N = 2,563) was used to investigate the effect of income on separation. The analysis demonstrated that money matters within relationships. Lottery wins temporarily reduced the odds of separation after men won. Men spent more on leisure and became more satisfied with their leisure time and social lives after winning. Nevertheless, most of the effect …
