Racial Discrimination in the Marriage Market? An Exploration of Swedish Adoption Data
Objective Recent studies suggest that immigrants trade youth when partnering with members of the White majority population. This study contributes to this emerging literature by examining whether this trade should be understood as differential treatment based on immigrant status or as a broader dynamic of racial preferences in the marriage market. Methods This study compares age gaps in unions of international adoptees with those in cross‐nationa…
Fertility patterns and sex composition preferences in immigrant-native unions in Sweden
Intermarriage between immigrants and native individuals highlights the need to study childbearing as a joint decision of couples, because fertility preferences are likely to differ for the two partners involved. This study focuses on Sweden, where the majority population holds a relative preference for daughters but many immigrants come from countries with son preferences. Using longitudinal registers for the period 1990-2009, I analyse third-bir…
From state-controlled to free migration
In 2008, Sweden changed its labour-migration policy to facilitate more labour migration from countries outside the EU. Most state ambitions to shape labour migration, including practices such as the use of labour-market tests and the assessment of migrants’ human capital, were abandoned and the responsibility to select migrants was transferred to employers. We use Swedish register data and adopt a difference-in-differences approach to assess the …
The social care-taking of the city-kids. Determinants for day-care attendance in early twentieth-century southern Sweden
The introduction of a child day-care system is one of the early welfare interventions targeted towards mothers and young children that over time gained great prominence in the Swedish welfare state. Because quantitative research on day-cares in historical settings is generally scarce, in this study, we focus on the determinants of day-care enrolment in southern Sweden during the early twentieth century. We use unique individual-level records of d…
Gender Asymmetries in Cross-National Couples
We use census microdata for Spain and the United States to examine gender differences in cross-national heterosexual couples (marriages and cohabitating unions involving natives and immigrant spouses). We examine whether native men and native women in cross-national couples exhibit similar patterns regarding the country of birth, age, and educational attainment of their international partners. Countries are ranked by their level of the human deve…
Like parents, like children? The impact of parental endogamy and exogamy on their children's partner choices in Sweden
This paper analyses the marriage patterns of multi-ethnic people - who have one native-born and one foreign-born parent - born in Sweden (multi-ethnic Swedes). Based on Swedish register data from the period 1997-2016 and multinomial regression analysis, this paper looks into the generational transmission of inter- and intra-marriage for multi-ethnic Swedes versus mono-ethnic individuals who have two native-born parents (mono-ethnic Swedes). It al…
Opposites Attract
This paper studies how immigrant–native intermarriages in Sweden are associated with individual characteristics of native men and women and patterns of assortative mating. Patterns of educational- and age-assortative mating that are similar to those found in native–native marriages may reflect openness to immigrant groups, whereas assortative mating patterns that indicate status considerations suggest that country of birth continues to serve as a…
Cohabitation Premiums in Denmark
Intermarriage with natives has the potential to enhance immigrant integration, as intermarried immigrants gain access to resources such as language skills, information about institutions and customs, and native networks. Due to these spillover effects, immigrants in intermarriages are more likely to be successful in the labour market. However, a positive relationship between intermarriage and economic integration can also be caused by selection b…
