Understanding the effects of Covid-19 through a life course lens
Social age deadlines for the childbearing of women and men
BACKGROUND: This study examines whether social age deadlines exist for childbearing in women and men, how they vary across countries, whether they are lower than actual biological deadlines and whether they are associated with childbearing at later ages and the availability of assisted reproduction techniques (ARTs). METHODS: This study is based on the European Social Survey, Round 3 (2006-2007), which covers 25 countries. Data were gathered on s…
Challenges in moving from macro to micro
Assumptions are often made about how population ageing on the macro level has altered generational structures of families at the micro level. The purpose of this paper is to increase the awareness of challenges and potential pitfalls in bridging the tw
Childlessness and Parenthood in Two Centuries
The article focuses on findings that were replicated across several countries and considers their relevance for future older adults. Key findings are that (a) childlessness makes more of a difference in men's than in women's lives, (b) never-married women are a childless category with particularly favorable characteristics, and (c) childless people face support deficits only toward the end of life. In future cohorts, the authors expect to see (a)…
Pathways to Childlessness
In this article life history data from the U.S. National Survey of Families and Households (NSFH), and the Dutch survey on Older Adults' Living Arrangements and Social Networks (NESTOR-LSN) are used to shed light on the various pathways leading to and associated with childlessness, and the proportions of men and women who have followed a particular pathway (e.g., marrying late, divorcing early, never leaving the parental home). The central questi…
Roads Less Taken
This article provides the rationale for doing research on childlessness and parenthood in late life. Childless older adults have been rendered invisible in the social scientific literature. A central goal of this issue is to make them visible and to expose unstated assumptions about normal adult life. Parenthood emerges as a key organizer of the life course and a major factor in social integration. Because the childless tend to be conceptualized …
Social Dynamics of the Life Course
The Social Separation of Old and Young
Ageism has been the focus of numerous publications, while age segregation is a neglected topic. Ageism on a micro‐individual level is linked to segregation on a macro level in a segregation‐ageism cycle. Possible linking mechanisms, which might help break this cycle, can be found on a meso level of social networks—their structure and functions. Data from the United States and the Netherlands show that non‐family networks are strongly age homogene…
A Gray Zone? Meetings between Sociology and Gerontology
What's the Latest? II. Cultural Age Deadlines for Educational and Work Transitions
The age-normative framework has gained widespread acceptance among students of the life course since the pioneering work of Bernice Neugarten had her colleagues in the 1960s. Investigators have begun to call for new research in this area to determine how these schedules operate in contemporary American society, how they might vary by life sphere, and how they might operate differently for men and women or along other important social divisions. B…
What's the Latest? Cultural Age Deadlines for Family Transitions
Several questions about the degree to which cultural schedules exist for the timing of life transitions, as well as the nature of these schedules, remain unexplored. In this article, we examine age timetables for central family transitions. Do individuals perceive age deadlines for these transitions, and by what ages do they think that men or women should have experienced them? How much consensus exists about these deadlines? Why are they conside…
Family Stories
Parental divorce in young adulthood
Developmental differences in reactions to parental divorce have not been examined beyond adolescence, and the impact of divorce on older offspring has thus been minimized. Central themes that emerged from an exploratory study of 18-to-23-year-olds suggest that the break-up of their parents' marriage represents a critical event deserving of further attention from researchers and clinicians
Grandparenthood, Life Context, and Family Development
Dimensions of Time and the Family
The Transition to Grandparenthood
Whereas grandparenthood has been the focus of a growing body of work in the social sciences, the transition into the grandparent role is greatly understudied. After a brief discussion of how recent demographic change has affected the prevalence, timing, and sequencing of the transition on a societal level, this article reviews existing work on the entry into grandparenthood. A third section identifies unexplored issues related to the personal and…
