Partnership and Fertility Trajectories of Immigrant Women Across the Migration Process to Spain: A Comparison by Country of Origin
Although many studies examine family patterns among immigrants and how these differ from those in the native population, a migration‐focused perspective investigating how partnerships and childbearing trajectories intersect throughout the migration process remains scarce. Applying multichannel sequence analysis to retrospective data from the 2018 Spanish Fertility Survey, this study simultaneously analysed changes in women's partnerships and fert…
Persistent inequalities around early motherhood? A comparison of maternal employment trajectories of natives, immigrants and their descendants in Spain
Ideals and realities: Chinese singleton daughters negotiating family size preferences and migrant motherhood in Spain
Chinese young women’s fertility choices have attracted growing interest in the last years, however, the effects of women’s singleton status and transnational motherhood experience on their fertility behaviours remain understudied. Using 12 qualitative interviews with Chinese migrant mothers in Spain, we firstly examine how women’s family size preferences are constructed by their singleton status associated with changing gender norms and strong no…
Rethinking transnational parenting: Chinese immigrant parents' family separation during Covid-19
Despite recent studies on cross-border immobility associated with COVID-19, little attention has been paid to the resulting prolonged separation of transnational families. This study attempts to fill this gap by examining the experiences of immigrant parents who were separated from their young children across national borders during the pandemic. Drawing on 42 in-depth interviews with parents of Chinese transnational families in Spain, this study…
Transitions to Motherhood in a Low-Fertility Country: Timing, Type, and Order of Life Course Events
This study analyses the key transitions over the course of a woman's life: forming a first union, leaving home, economic independence, and employment. It assesses their association with the probability of motherhood in Spain, a low-fertility country. The study focuses on the timing of these transitions and their particular conditions, as well as the order in which they occur. Data for the analysis are taken from the 2018 Fertility Survey (N = 7,8…
Transportation Planning Opportunities for Al-Jadriya Intersection through City Information Modelling Techniques
Particularly in the twenty-first century, it is imperative to stay up to date with the constant and rapid advancements in technology. City Planners can now make decisions more swiftly, precisely, and economically based on new technologies such as City Information Modeling. This technology makes it easier to quickly retrieve and integrate information, which improves the accuracy of the conclusions and reduces the level of errors and clashes betwee…
Harsh choices: Chinese migrant families' childcare strategies in Spain
This study explores Chinese immigrant parents' decision-making processes regarding childcare arrangements in Spain based on migration status and the availability of kinship networks. Drawing on 33 semi-structured interviews with Chinese parents who have preschool-aged children during the early stages of parenthood, this study reveals that Chinese immigrants' childcare management is largely based on informal childcare provided by extended family m…
Reducing obesity and related chronic disease risk in children and youth: A synthesis of evidence with ‘best practice’ recommendations
Childhood obesity is a global epidemic and rising trends in overweight and obesity are apparent in both developed and developing countries. Available estimates for the period between the 1980s and 1990s show the prevalence of overweight and obesity in children increased by a magnitude of two to five times in developed countries (e.g. from 11% to over 30% in boys in Canada), and up to almost four times in developing countries (e.g. from 4% to 14% …
