Long-Acting Reversible Contraception (Larc) and Early Childbearing Revisited
Objectives. To analyze births and birth intendedness after long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) removal among Medicaid-insured women. Methods. We linked all Delaware women with a Medicaid-covered LARC removal in 2012 to 2020 (n = 8047) to birth records and to Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) pregnancy intendedness survey responses (n = 241). Results. Births within 3 years of a Medicaid-covered LARC removal were much more…
Socioeconomic Differences in Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptive Use for Achieving U.S. Women's Family Planning Goals
Steep increases in the use of long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) have occurred during the past two decades in the United States, driven in part by LARC-focused contraceptive access programs and policies designed to reduce early and unintended pregnancies and births. These outcomes have long been concentrated among women of lower socioeconomic status (SES). LARC use has been positively associated with subsequent intended fertility, but …
Desire for Sterilization Reversal in Delaware, US
Objective To investigate the pathways that may elevate risks of desire for sterilization reversal, specifically through nonuse of long‐acting reversible contraception (LARC), viewing abortion as unacceptable for oneself, and being economically disadvantaged. Methods We used chi‐squared tests and binary logistic models to analyze data on 3422 women, including 299 sterilized women, from a population‐representative sample of Delaware women aged 18–4…
Reproductive Oppression Enters the Twenty-First Century
The common emphasis on the superior pregnancy protection of long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) may result in medical providers' pressuring women, especially those belonging to groups experiencing reproductive disciplining, to use LARC. The authors consider reports of having felt pressured to get or keep LARC in the 2021 Delaware and Maryland Survey of Women (1,058 current users and 1,788 ever users of LARC) and examine variation in these…
Are Larc Users Less Likely to Use Condoms? An Analysis of U.S. Women Initiating Larc in 2008–2018
Can Larc Fulfill Its Potential to Reduce U.S. Women’s Unintended Pregnancy Risk? Examining Women’s Contraception and Childbearing in the Year Before Initiating Larc
Are Births More Likely to be Intended Following Use of Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptives? An Analysis of U.S. Births in 2003–2015
Women's Use of Long-Acting Reversible Contraception for Birth Timing and Birth Stopping
The use of long-acting reversible contraceptive (LARC) methods—intrauterine devices (IUDs) and implants—has recently expanded rapidly in the United States, and these methods together approach the contraceptive pill in current prevalence. Research on LARCs has analyzed their use to reduce unintended pregnancies but not their use to enable intended pregnancies. Knowledge of both is necessary to understand LARCs’ potential impacts on the reproductiv…
Educational assortative mating, gender equality, and income differentiation across Europe
Demographic explanations for the rise in household income inequality include increased educational assortative mating and changes in the division of paid labour within families. Building on this research, the current study focuses on the connected nature of these two inequality-producing mechanisms, while at the same time bridging the divide with the economic literature on the role of income differentiation. Drawing on the 2004–2008 European Unio…
Reconsidering (in)equality in the use of IUDs in the United States
Long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs), such as the intrauterine device (IUD), have received increased attention for their contraceptive effectiveness and reversibility. Although demographers have long acknowledged the importance of parity and child
Intersecting Inequalities
Despite extensive evidence that fundamental causes of health, such as socioeconomic status (SES) and race/ethnicity, often interact, the potential importance of such interactions has received limited attention in the contraceptive use literature. Even fewer studies have explicitly considered how interacting systems of power may structure contraceptive use with an intersectional framework. Drawing on the female ( N = 8,744) and male ( N = 5,826) s…
The Gendered Division of Sterilization 'Fertility Work
Drawing on data from the 2006 to 2010 and 2011 to 2013 rounds of the National Survey of Family Growth, this study examines the division of sterilization 'fertility work' among couples who have completed intended childbearing. Results show that use of female versus male sterilization varies by couples' racial/ethnic composition, but not by couples' educational composition. Couples in which the man is non-Hispanic White and the woman is of minority…
Desire for Sterilization Reversal Among U.S. Females
Future research should consider how insurance coverage of all methods under the Affordable Care Act may affect use of sterilization and desire for reversal
Understanding Sterilization Regret in the United States
Although one fourth of sterilized reproductive-aged women in the United States express a desire to have their sterilization procedures reversed, the pathways leading to sterilization regret remain insufficiently understood. Particularly little is known about how cohabitation affects the likelihood of sterilization regret. This study used data from the 2006 to 2010 National Survey of Family Growth to investigate how relationship context shapes wom…
Who Leaves the Joint Home after Separation? The Role of Partners' Absolute and Relative Education in Belgium
After union dissolution, the question of who stays in the joint home and who moves to a new place is of great importance to the life courses of the separating adults as well as any children involved. Drawing on a unique Belgian data set linking Census and Register data (N = 56,931), this study addresses the role of heterosexual partners’ absolute and relative educational attainment by means of diagonal reference models. Results for absolute educa…
Contraceptive Sterilization
Research on contraceptive use can benefit from a couple approach, particularly when focusing on partners' characteristics for which homogamy is relatively low
The perplexing links between contraceptive sterilization and (dis)advantage in ten low-fertility countries
This study investigated the association between contraceptive sterilization and socio-economic status (measured by educational attainment) in ten countries, using data from the 2006-10 National Survey of Family Growth and the 2004-10 Generations and Gender Surveys. The findings confirm that a long-standing association between socio-economic status and sterilization persists in the contemporary United States: female sterilization is associated wit…
Who Is Using Long‐Acting Reversible Contraceptive Methods? Findings from Nine Low‐Fertility Countries
Certain subgroups of U.S. women may benefit from the reversibility and effectiveness of LARC methods
Educational heterogamy
Socio-demographic heterogamy is commonly believed to lead to lower relationship stability due to the presence of cultural differences between partners. This explanation lacks empirical support, as psychology studies have not confirmed the link between heterogamy and cultural differences, whereas sociological studies have been characterized by problems related to the choice and measurement of cultural differences. Progressing from previous researc…
Educational Heterogamy and the Division of Paid Labour in the Family
This study builds on the long-standing theoretical interest in the importance of comparative advantages between partners for the division of paid labour in the family. It adopts a couple perspective on women’s relative labour market participation by considering the role of educational heterogamy. Additionally, it takes account of the family life cycle by means of the presence of (young) children. The importance of these two factors for women’s re…
Analysing the Effect of Educational Differences between Partners
The effect of educational differences between partners on marital quality and stability is commonly analysed using difference, or compound measures. This article considers the theoretical foundations for these approaches and examines an alternative approach, diagonal reference models (DRMs). The three methods are then compared empirically, using data on 629 married couples from the survey Child-Rearing and Family in the Netherlands. Difference me…
Partner Selection and Divorce in Ethnic Minorities
This article compares divorce risks according to marriage type. The common dichotomy between ethnic homogamous and ethnic heterogamous marriages is further elaborated by differentiating a third marriage type; ethnic homogamous marriages between individuals from an ethnic minority group and a partner from the country of origin. Based on the analysis of data concerning the Turkish and Moroccan minorities in Belgium, it has been confirmed that the d…
The Rise of Age Homogamy in 19th Century Western Europe
In many parts of Western Europe the age at first marriage and the level of celibacy declined in the second half of the 19th century. This weakening of the European marriage pattern (EMP) can be interpreted as a “classic” response to the increase of the standard of living, but a more far‐reaching interpretation is that the erosion of the EMP was part of a cultural shift characterized by the rise of a new, less instrumental and more egalitarian vie…
