Economic Uncertainty and Postponed Parenthood
Cyclical increase in economic uncertainty and structural economic uncertainty seems to decrease fertility. This study analyzing the event history of an individual uses a sequence of events to address the question: Why do some individuals postpone to have children while others do not? The economic shock of sudden increased unemployment and changed fertility trends are studied in a large scale prospective longitudinal study (n=300,000) of individua…
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder in School-age Children
Traumatic childhood events are some of the few identifiable and to some extent preventable causes of psychiatric illness. Children exposed to severely stressful events may react with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and this may impact their level of function in daily life, their future development and mental health. The traumatic stress model suggests that traumatic stress in the family, community violence, and other traumas are regarded as…

Psychological Maltreatment and Adolescents’ Suicidal Behavior
Exploring Paradigms of Crime Reduction
Using Danish registers for a 1980 birth cohort of 29,944 males with parental information and following up these cases for 25 years, the study considers four paradigms of crime reduction (parental child rearing, structural factors around adolescence, locality and individual resources). Focusing on offenders with first-time convictions for shoplifting (n = 1,989), for burglary (n = 1,324) and for violence (n = 1,901), all four paradigms made a cont…

Information from population-based registers cover several health aspects, education, social networks, family violence, parental self-destructive behaviour, parental alcohol or drug abuse, and parental unemployment. Preliminary analysis of a 10 percent randomized sample of two birth cohorts (children born in 1966 and 1973) led to the pr…

A follow-up study of longterm effects of unemployment on children

Their present living conditions and their experiences during childhood were com pared with a simple random sample of the same cohort born in 1967. Results revealed that violence, separation from parents (in care according to files), and parents' addiction problems during childhood were significantly more common in the risk group than in the control group. Their …
