The ageing of parent carers
Increasing longevity has led to a rising number of adult children who are at higher ages when they provide care for their parents. Drawing on the lifecourse approach and exchange theory, the paper addresses similarities and differences in parent care between late middle-aged and older adult children. The study uses the UK Household Longitudinal Study, restricting the analysis sample to individuals aged 50 and older with a living parent or parent-…
Couples’ daily childcare schedules
Gender inequality of childcare provision is regarded as one of the main barriers to women’s labour-market careers. However, there is a scarcity of quantitative studies that examine fathers’ and mothers’ combined childcare. This research focuses on father’s and mother’s timing and type of childcare for co-resident couples with a young child. Using the two most recent UK Time-Use Surveys, the study derives typologies of couples’ childcare patterns …
Fathers' involvement with their children in the United Kingdom

Social Class Origin and Assortative Mating in Britain, 1949-2010
This article examines trends in assortative mating in Britain over the last 60 years. Assortative mating is the tendency for like to form a conjugal partnership with like. Our focus is on the association between the social class origins of the partners. The propensity towards assortative mating is taken as an index of the openness of society which we regard as a macro level aspect of social inequality. There is some evidence that the propensity f…
Work-Life Conflict in Britain
This article examines the influence of job demands and job-related resources on the experience of two dimensions of work-life conflict (WLC) in Britain. Theory suggests that higher levels of resources should reduce WLC but empirical analyses often fail to find this effect. We address the issue by examining the impact of a wide range of resources as well as their interactions with job demands. Analyses of the Working in Britain 2000 survey suggest…
Long-term trends of men's co-residence with children in England and Wales
Increasing numbers of childless men as well as fathers with reduced or no contact with their children have sparked concern about an erosion of fatherhood. Although the general trend is undisputed, claims about men's decreasing family involvement lack a sou
Parent Care as Unpaid Family Labor
The study adapts theories of the household division of labor to the division of parent care between spouses and expands them by taking the kin relationship with the parent and the intensity of care into account. Tobit and weighted logit models are used to analyze the division of parent care in 2,214 couples from the British General Household Surveys. The models revealed patterns of parent care that are predominantly governed by the kin relationsh…
Couples' provision of informal care for parents and parents-in-law
This study examines whether and how couples share the provision of informal care for their parents. Four waves of the British General Household Survey contain cross-sectional information about caring for parents and parents-in-law. Descriptive and multivariate analyses were conducted on 2214 couples that provided parent care. The findings emphasise married men's contribution to informal caring for the parental generation and at the same time demo…

Hazard rate models for taking up caring and leaving work when caring are estimated using retrospective family, employment, and caring data from the British Family and Working Lives Survey 1994 - 1995 for 9,139 British men and women. Family roles but not employment characteristics were relevant for men and …

The effects of informal care on paid-work participation in Great Britain

This paper examines the relationship from a longitudinal perspective using data from the Great Britain 1994–95 Family and Working Lives Survey . The first part of the paper studies the timing of informal care-giving to a sick, disabled or elderly person. This information is used in the second part to examine t…
Union Disruption in Sweden
This article investigates whether economic dependency is negatively related to separation in Sweden by examining the Swedish Level-of-Living Surveys coupled with annual register data on income. This provides the opportunity to study the relative income and the family status of a random sample of the adult population during (most of) a twenty-four-year window, 1966–90. Women's contribution to the household income increased from around 20 percent i…
Childbirth in East and West German Stepfamilies

We analyse, …
