La prise en charge de l’école par les pères pendant le confinement de 2020
À partir d’une enquête par entretiens auprès de parents hétérosexuels d’enfants scolarisés en France et en Suisse, l’article rend compte des mécanismes qui ont perpétué la prise en charge genrée du travail scolaire au cours du confinement du printemps 2020. Il confirme d’abord que les femmes ont maintenu leur prise en charge principale du travail scolaire, quelle qu’ait été leur disponibilité ou celle de leur conjoint. Il présente ensuite la mani…
The effect of parental background on the potential education and employment of migrants' children in Switzerland
This paper explores the relations between parental background, the education level reached and the socioprofessional position of children during their transition to adulthood. The paper links segmented assimilation and institutional theories with a life-course approach. It tests three types of mechanisms of the relationship between parental background and children's lifecourse, which are the critical-period model; the path-dependency; and the cum…
When National Origins Equal Socio-economic Background
The educational outcomes of the descendants of migrants are important indicators of migrants' incorporation into host societies and an indicator of intergenerational social im/mobility. This paper examines this relationship using data from a survey that follows a cohort of young adults, born between 1988 and 1997, who grew up in Switzerland. It looks at the relationship between the educational output of respondents and their parental migratory ba…
Des vies sociales bouleversées ? Les sociabilités en temps de pandémie dans les familles françaises, suédoises et suisses
« Restez chez vous », « Respectez la distance sociale », « Pas plus de six personnes dans la même pièce »... Dans quelle mesure ces mots d’ordre visant à restreindre les sociabilités physiques pour limiter la contagion de la Covid-19, ont-ils bouleversé les sociabilités familiales, et incidemment les familles, depuis mars 2020 ? Quelles sont les différentes expériences vécues de ces transformations ? Pour répondre à ces interrogations, cet articl…
How can we categorise ‘nationality’ and ‘second generation’ in surveys without (re)producing stigmatisation
Whilst reflexive migration studies have criticised the use of categories such as ‘nationality’ and ‘second generation’ in quantitative research, several gaps on how to develop such reflexivity remain. In qualitative data, the co-construction of knowledge seems feasible during fieldwork, whereas the deductive process of quantitative research limits such interactions and is more at risk of reproducing a ‘state thought’ . Through a longitudinal data…
Changing Attitudes Towards Gender Equality in Switzerland (2000–2017)
This paper investigates trends in Swiss women’s and men’s gender attitudes in the period 2000–2017 using the Swiss Household Panel data. Based on pooled OLS and fixed-effects models, we establish the following for women and men: (1) over this time period, attitudes towards gender roles become more egalitarian, while attitudes towards gender equality achievement remain stable; (2) the youngest cohort unexpectedly holds more traditional attitudes; …
The Transition to Parenthood in the French and German Speaking Parts of Switzerland
After the first transition to parenthood, most couples adopt a gendered labor division, where mothers become main caregivers and fathers breadwinners of the family. By comparing two distinct language regions within one country, the present article explores how parents’ gendered labor division comes into existence and what role gendered culture and social policy play. The analysis draws on in-depth interviews with 23 German speaking and 73 French …
Self-administered event history calendars
Event history calendar (EHC) methods have received increasing attention from the life-course surveys that have been used in recent years. According to the literature, the EHC provides high-quality data in retrospective surveys because it replicates the autobiographical memory retrieval processes. EHC interviewing is processed through the visual display of individual life events, phases and transitions on a chronological calendar grid, which allow…

Changes in Employment Uncertainty and the Fertility Intention–Realization Link
How do changes in employment uncertainty matter for fertility? Empirical studies on the impact of employment uncertainty on reproductive decision-making offer a variety of conclusions, ranging from gender and socio-economic differences in the effect of employment uncertainty on fertility intentions and behaviour, to the effect of employment on changes in fertility intentions. This article analyses the association between a change in subjective em…
The Influence of Interlocked Employment–Family Trajectories on Retirement Timing
How are employment and family experiences simultaneously linked to the timing of retirement? Based on a life course perspective, this article aims to understand the way in which different work and family statuses accumulated throughout adult life, lead to early, on-time, or late withdrawals from the labor market. We focused on Switzerland, a country characterized by a liberal and flexible pension structure that provides widespread institutional m…
L’activité économique au sens du BIT
Il est d’usage d’employer l’expression « au sens du BIT » lorsque l’on décrit l’activité occupée, le chômage ou l’inactivité économique à partir de données d’enquêtes sur les forces de travail. Un examen des définitions proposées par Eurostat dans le cas de l’enquête communautaire sur les forces de travail montre cependant quelques écarts avec les définitions initialement élaborées par le Bureau International du Travail. Il en est de même parfois…
Spatially Weighted Context Data and Their Application to Collective War Experiences
In this article, we introduce spatially weighted context data as a new approach for studying the contextual dimension of factors that shapes social behavior and collective worldviews. First, we briefly discuss the current contribution of multilevel regression to the study of contextual effects. We subsequently provide a formal definition of spatially weighted context data, as a complement to and extension of the existing multilevel analyses, whic…

Meaning of Marriage for Men During Their Transition to Fatherhood
In Europe, Switzerland presents an unusual pattern of marriage with a very high proportion of couples who begin to cohabit without being married, but with a very low proportion of nonmarital births. A lot of couples marry before the conception of the child or during the pregnancy. In this article we focus on the point of view of men vis-à-vis the marriage and its meanings. Qualitative investigations show that men strongly desire marriage for seve…
Transitions familiales et brouilles conjugales
Cette étude esquisse, sur la base d’un grand échantillon représentatif et longitudinal de couples vivant en Suisse et du point de vue des femmes ayant répondu à l’enquête, un tableau de l’évolution des problèmes conjugaux rencontrés au cours des différentes phases de la vie familiale. Le processus de dégradation de la relation est reconstitué à partir de deux mesures faites dans un intervalle de 5 ans. La genèse des difficultés conjugales est con…
From Support to Control
The topic of conjugal quality provides an empirical illustration of the relevance of the configurational perspective on families. On the basis of a longitudinal sample of 1,534 couples living in Switzerland drawn from the study "Social Stratification, Cohesion and Conflict in Contemporary Families," we show that various types of interdependencies with relatives and friends promote distinct conflict management strategies for couples as well as une…
Wishes or Constraints? Mothers' Labour Force Participation and its Motivation in Switzerland
The aim of this article is to estimate the impact of various factors related to role conflict theory and preference theory on the reduction of women's labour force participation after their transition to parenthood. Objective and subjective dimensions of women's labour force participation are assessed. The empirical test is based on a survey of couples with children in Switzerland. Results show that compared to structural factors associated with …
Prise en charge des enfants en bas âge en Suisse et participation des femmes au marché du travail
Le présent article a pour objet d’analyser les déterminants du choix de la garde d’enfant en Suisse en relation avec le mode de participation des femmes à la vie active. Le contexte de ce pays est celui d’une offre peu élevée de services de garde face à une demande croissante de la part des familles. Notre hypothèse générale est de considérer que les décisions en matière d’exercice d’une activité professionnelle et de placement des enfants résul…
Embedded parenting? The influence of conjugal networks on parent-child relationships
Data from a large survey of family functioning in Switzerland explore the extent to which various types of conjugal networks affect parenting and parent-child relationships (e.g., problems in assuming parental roles, parent-child disagreements, quality of parent-child relationships, and parental worries about the child). Results show that conjugal networks have significant indirect and direct effects on parent-child relationships but no buffering…
Genre et étapes du passage à la vie adulte en Suisse
À l’exemple de la plupart des pays occidentaux, la transition à l’âge adulte s’est fortement allongée en Suisse. Il subsiste néanmoins de nombreuses différences dans les modalités de ce passage entre les jeunes gens et les jeunes femmes. Dans cet article, nous développons une analyse de ces différences, sur la base d’une exploitation des données de l’enquête suisse sur la famille. Cette analyse se base sur une description des âges médians dans le…
