Father–son communication and youth fighting in Sweden, 2014 and 2018
This study examines whether poor father-son communication is associated with youth physical fighting. Data were drawn from children aged 11–15 years who participated in the Swedish Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children (HBSC) surveys in 2014 (n = 2917) and 2018 (n = 1557) and who selected ‘boy’ in response to the survey’s binary gender item (‘Are you a boy or a girl?’). Logistic regression analyses were conducted. Adolescent boys who reported …
Divorce among more and less divorce-prone populations following unilateral divorce laws
ObjectiveThis study analyzes heterogeneity in divorce rates after the 1987 transition from mutual consent to unilateral no-fault divorce in Finland.BackgroundMarriage and divorce legislation can impact divorce rates. However, some groups may be more responsive to changes in legal context than others. We propose that unilateral no-fault divorce laws either (a) increase divorce more in more or less divorce-prone groups, or (b) increase divorce equa…
Kinship and socio-economic status
The influence of kin on various outcomes is heavily debated. However, kinship size itself conditions the probability of potential effects. Socio-economic gradients in the prevalence, variance, and types of kin are, therefore, a vital aspect of the functions of kin. Unfortunately, these parameters are largely unknown. We used Swedish register data to enumerate consanguine and in-law kin across the life course of the 1975 birth cohort. We calculate…
The Role of Gender Differences in Partnering and Re-partnering for Gender Differences in Completed Fertility
Individuals increasingly enter a series of relationships during their reproductive years. As births in higher-order unions increase, fertility becomes partially contingent on re-partnering. Previous research suggests that men re-partner at higher rates than women. This study analyzes whether gender differences in partnering and re-partnering influence gender differences in cohort fertility. We use Finnish register data on all births, marriages, a…
The Swedish Kinship Universe
Given that surprisingly little is known about the demography of human kinship, we provide a demographic account of the kinship networks of individuals in Sweden in 2017 across sex and cohort between ages 0 and 102. We used administrative register data of the full population of Sweden to provide the first kinship enumeration for a complete population based on empirical data. We created ego-focused kinship networks of children, parents, siblings, g…
Less Is More? Repartnering and Completed Cohort Fertility in Finland
An extensive literature theorizes the role of repartnering for cohort fertility and whether union dissolution can be an engine for fertility. A large share of higher order unions are nonmarital cohabitations, but most previous studies on completed cohort fertility have analyzed only marital unions, and none have incorporated nonmarital cohabitations using population-level data. To analyze the relationship between the number of unions and cohort f…
Parity disparity
Most research on trends in socio-economic fertility differences has focused on cohort total fertility and on women. This study aimed to analyse how cohort trends in parity-specific fertility differ across educational segments for men and women and what role multi-partner fertility plays in these trends. We used Finnish and Swedish register data on cohorts born in 1940-73/78. The main analyses used parity progression ratios, comparing ordinary rat…
Do the formative aspects of education really matter for educational assortative mating? Cues from a natural experiment
Online Distance Education and Transition to Parenthood Among Female University Students in Sweden
The expansion of tertiary education is key to understanding postponement of first births. Currently, online distance education is changing the nature of university enrolment. In this study, I suggest that online distance education impacts on fertility by facilitating the transition to parenthood among students. I examine the relationship between online distance education and first births during university enrolment. Using survival analysis of reg…
