Economic situation and late‐life divorce: A “his” and “hers” perspective
Objective This study investigated the association between individuals' economic situation and divorce among the population aged 60+ in Sweden, with a focus on the role of gender and potential changes across cohorts. Background Previous research on divorce has mainly considered individuals of working age or all ages combined, although late‐life divorce is increasing in several Western countries. Economic considerations regarding divorce may differ…
Swedish Fertility Developments Before, During and After the Covid-19 Pandemic
Many affluent societies saw a temporary increase in their fertility rates in 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic. This included a number of countries that had experienced fertility decline during the 2010s, like the Nordic. In the immediate aftermath of the pandemic (2022–2023), fertility rates resumed their previous downward trend. Most research on the pandemic-related fertility trends has relied on aggregate data. Although a few studies have exa…
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…
Getting married in a highly individualized context: Commitment and gender equality matter
Objective This study examines the roles of commitment and gender equality for marriage formation in a highly individualized and gender‐egalitarian context. Background Marriage is commonly perceived as a more committed form of union than cohabitation. Individualization perspectives propose that this discourages marriage formation, whereas gender perspectives suggest that this is only the case for couples living inegalitarian lives. Method The role…
Disentangling the Swedish fertility decline of the 2010s
The downward fertility trend in Western countries during the 2010s is puzzling, not least in the Nordic region
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. Such discrepancies and potential dissatisfaction with gender unequal behavior within a couple are expected to influence partnership dynamics negatively. This study examines how discrepancies between the perceived ideal sharing of parental leave and the actual division of leave, as well as satisfaction …
Women have a stronger say in couples’ decisions to have a child
Sweden stands out as a forerunner in the development of gender equality and family dynamics. 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 …
