Poverty, Gender and Fertility in Rural Kenya
Despite a global decline in fertility, in Kenya, fertility has remained at a fairly high level. This article is based on two studies in rural villages in Western Province, Kenya in 1988 and 2011. In 1988, this province had the highest fertility level in the country. By 2011, fertility had fallen, but remained high in the national context. The analysis explores the interaction of poverty and gender relations in order to understand this. The Bukusu…

Children's Risk of Parental Break-up
Higher proportions of births outside marriage and more family breakdown indicate that children experience increased diversity of family circumstances at birth and during childhood. While England/Wales and Norway have many similar features, there are distinct differences in social and welfare policies. This article compares children's experiences in the two countries in relation to these policies. Emphasis is put particularly on the impact of cons…
Children and Family Dissolution in Norway
This article presents a nationwide study of family dissolution among cohabiting and married parents of three cohorts of Norwegian children born in 1980, 1986 and 1992 respectively. The study focuses on two main topics: the dissolution trend of consensual and marital unions, and factors affecting the dissolution rates of parental unions. The results show that children of cohabiting parents run a much higher risk of dissolution compared to children…
Partnership and Parenthood in Contemporary Europe
Parenthood and Childhood in the Scandinavian Countries
Parenthood is defined through its relation to childhood: without children there are no parents. However, the way parenthood is exercised is strongly influenced by social changes outside the parent-child relationship. In this article three social changes are highlighted: fertility, family changes and employment. These changes are discussed in relation to the concept of responsibility. Taking the concept of responsibility as the point of departure,…
Gender and Family Change in Industrialized Countries
This volume focuses on the relationship between change in the family and change in the roles of women and men on contemporary industrial societies. Of central concern is whether change in gender roles has fuelled - or is merely historically coincident with - such changes in the family as rising divorce rates, increases in out-of-wedlock childbearing, declining marriage rates, and a growing disconnection between the lives of men and children. Cove…

The volume stems from the considerable concern of both scholars and policy makers regarding the prospects for demographic change in this region in which rapid population growth is exacerbating development problems and making it more difficult for basic human needs to be met....The…

Fathers and children
Much attention is given to changing family patterns in industrilized countries. Often the question is asked about how a family dissolution may affect the relationship be tween fathers and children, and the consequences for children of little contact. Here, the question is put another way around. It is asked how can we understand the increas ing tendency of fathers to have children in consensual unions, as opposed to marriage. Hence, attention is …
