Sibling Complexity Across Childhood
Objective This study quantifies sibling experiences across childhood by birth cohort and maternal education. Background As family structures evolve, sibling complexity—the presence of half and stepsiblings—is becoming more common. Yet, little is known about how sibling constellations unfold across childhood, vary between cohorts, or differ by social background. Method Annual register data of full Finnish birth cohorts 1988 ( n = 64,597) and 2000 …
Number of siblings and psychotropic medication purchases surrounding parental death in adulthood
BACKGROUND: Parental death has well-established adverse effects on the mental health of children and adolescents, but evidence on adults is scarce. Also, the role of siblings has not been assessed before, even though siblings might be an important source of support during parental death. METHODS: We conducted a national cohort study to examine psychotropic medication purchases (antidepressants, anxiolytics, hypnotics and sedatives) before and aft…
Fatherhood timing and men's midlife earnings
Fathers tend to achieve higher earnings than childless men, but there is limited evidence on the associations between fatherhood timing and men's later earnings. Using a longitudinal census-based sample of Finnish men, including a subsample of brothers, we investigated fatherhood timing and men's midlife earnings using both between- and within-family models. Earnings around age 50 were lower among adolescent and young fathers than for men who bec…
Contribution of causes of death to changing inequalities in life expectancy by income in Finland, 1997–2020
BACKGROUND: Socioeconomic inequalities in mortality originate from different causes of death. Alcohol-related and smoking-related deaths are major drivers of mortality inequalities across Europe. In Finland, the turn from widening to narrowing mortality disparities by income in the early 2010s was largely attributable to these causes of death. However, little is known about recent inequalities in life expectancy (LE) and lifespan variation. METHO…
Maternal psychiatric and somatic illness, and the risk of unintentional injuries in children
BACKGROUND: Maternal mental illness appears to increase the risk of unintentional childhood injuries, which are a common cause of morbidity and mortality in early childhood. However, little is known about the variations in this association by type of injury and child's age, and studies on the effects of maternal somatic illness on children's injury risk are scarce. METHODS: We used Finnish total population register data from 2000 to 2017 to link …
Grandparental support and maternal depression
Grandparental support may protect mothers from depression, particularly mothers who separate and enter single parenthood. Using longitudinal Finnish register data on 116,917 separating and 371,703 non-separating mothers with young children, we examined differences in mothers' antidepressant purchases by grandparental characteristics related to provision of support. Grandparents' younger age (<70 years), employment, and lack of severe health probl…
Medically Assisted Reproduction and Partnership Stability
Despite the increasing use of medically assisted reproduction (MAR) in modern societies, there is limited evidence on whether conceiving with MAR or remaining involuntarily childless after MAR is associated with partnership stability. While older age, the more advantaged socioeconomic position of women undergoing MAR and their strong fertility intentions could lead to higher partnership stability, the experience of infertility and undergoing MAR …
Partnership trajectories preceding medically assisted reproduction
The number of people who undergo medically assisted reproduction (MAR) to conceive has increased considerably in recent decades. However, existing research into the demographics and the partnership histories of this growing subgroup is limited. Using unique data from Finnish population registers on nulliparous women born in Finland in 1971–77 (n = 21,129; ∼10 per cent of all women) who had undergone MAR treatment, we created longitudinal partners…
Does early drug use‐related police contact predict premature mortality and morbidity
Perinatal health among migrant women
Migrants often have better health than the native-born population ('healthy immigrant effect'), although the effect tends to attenuate over time since migration. However, following the weathering hypothesis, migrants may have worse health due to a combination of discrimination and poorer financial conditions faced by many of them. Yet, little is known about interactions between migrant origin and individual socioeconomic status or the time spent …
The Well-Being of Adolescents Conceived Through Medically Assisted Reproduction
Medically assisted reproduction (MAR) plays an increasingly important role in the realization of fertility intentions in advanced societies, yet the evidence regarding MAR-conceived children’s longer-term well-being remains inconclusive. Using register data on all Finnish children born in 1995–2000, we compared a range of social and mental health outcomes among MAR- and naturally conceived adolescents in population-averaged estimates, and within …
Early home-leaving (HL) and educational attainment
Leaving the parental home is a key step in successful transitions to adulthood. Early home-leaving (HL) is associated with lower educational attainment, but the role of early versus later home-leaving in the intergenerational transmission of education has not been assessed in previous research. We used a longitudinal register-based total sample of families in Finland to examine whether the association between parental and offspring education diff…
Changes in regional variation in mortality over five decades – The contribution of age and socioeconomic population composition
Existing evidence suggests that within-country area variation in mortality has increased in several high-income countries. Little is known about the role of changes in the population composition of areas in these trends. In this study, we look at mortality variation across Finnish municipalities over five decades. We examine trends by sex, age categories and two broad cause of death groups and assess the role of individual-level compositional fac…
The effect of low childhood income on self-harm in young adulthood
Low childhood income is an established risk factor of self-harm in adolescence and young adulthood, and childhood income is additionally associated with various correlates of self-harm. How these correlates, such as psychiatric disorders, substance abuse, violent behaviour and school problems, mediate the effect of childhood income on self-harm, is less understood. The purpose of the current paper is to examine this mediation. The study is based …
Evaluating the Role of Parental Education and Adolescent Health Problems in Educational Attainment
This article reconsiders the role of social origin in health selection by examining whether parental education moderates the association between early health and educational attainment and whether health problems mediate the intergenerational transmission of education. We used longitudinal register data on Finns born in 1986–1991 (n = 352,899). We measured the completion of secondary and tertiary education until age 27 and used data on hospital c…
Early Adolescent Health Problems, School Performance, and Upper Secondary Educational Pathways
Early health problems predict lower educational attainment, but it remains unclear whether this is due to health problems weakening school performance or due to other mechanisms operating above and beyond school performance. We employed counterfactual-based mediation analysis on a register-based sample of Finnish adolescents born in 1988-1993 (n = 73,072) to longitudinally assess the direct (unexplained by school performance, as measured by grade…
Parental socioeconomic resources and adverse childhood experiences as predictors of not in education, employment, or training
Socioeconomic disadvantage in childhood is common among youth not in education, employment or training (NEETs). However, the evidence on other adverse childhood experiences as determinants of NEET remains scarce. We use Finnish longitudinal register data on a 20% random sample of households with 0–14-year-old children in 2000 to assess the childhood determinants of NEET. For an analytical sample of 99,137 children born 1986–1993, family socioecon…
Experience of maternal and paternal adversities in childhood as determinants of self-harm in adolescence and young adulthood
INTRODUCTION: Previous studies suggest that childhood experience of parental adversities increases the risk of subsequent offspring self-harm, but studies on distinct paternal and maternal characteristics are few and it remains unclear how these interact with childhood social position. The study aims to assess whether paternal and maternal adversities have different associations with offspring self-harm in adolescence and young adulthood. Interac…
Parental education and adolescent health problems due to violence, self-harm and substance use
BACKGROUND: Adolescent health problems are more prevalent in families with low socioeconomic position, but few studies have assessed the role of parental health in this association. This study examines the extent to which parental health problems, particularly those related to high-risk health behaviour, might explain the association between parental education and adolescent health problems due to violence, self-harm and substance use. METHODS: W…
Paternal age and the risk of low birth weight and preterm delivery
BACKGROUND: Based on existing studies, there is no conclusive evidence as to whether and why paternal age matters for birth outcomes. METHODS: We used Finnish population registers on 106 652 children born 1987-2000. We first document the unadjusted association between paternal age and the risk of low birth weight (LBW; <2500 g) and preterm birth (<37 weeks' gestation). Second, we investigate whether the unadjusted association is attenuated on adj…
Substance abuse in parents and subsequent risk of offspring psychiatric morbidity in late adolescence and early adulthood
Work-Family Context and the Longevity Disadvantage of US Women
Female life expectancy is currently shorter in the United States than in most high-income countries. This study examines work-family context as a potential explanation. While work-family context changed similarly across high-income countries during the past half century, the United States has not implemented institutional supports, such as universally available childcare and family leave, to help Americans contend with these changes. We compare t…
Young adult’s own and parental social characteristics predict injury morbidity
The transition to adulthood is a life period of heightened risk of injury, during which both parental social background and the young people's own social position are important determinants of serious injuries that require inpatient care
Mortality inequalities by parental education among children and young adults in Finland 1990–2004
BACKGROUND: Knowledge on health inequalities in early life is less complete and less consistent than with the well-documented differentials in the adult population. This study examines the presence and strength of the association between parental education and mortality during different periods of childhood and young adulthood, and changes in the association over time. METHODS: Longitudinal individual level data were used in a register follow-up …
