Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Der Beitrag untersucht die Frage nach der Bedeutung von Erwerbsmerkmalen schwedischer Männer und Frauen für den Prozess der Familienentwicklung in Schweden aus paarbezogener Perspektive. Auf der Grundlage von Registerdaten der Jahre 1981 bis 1999 schätzen wir ereignisanalytische Modelle für die Geburt zweiter und dritter Kinder. Es zeigt sich, dass Einkommen und Erwerbstätigkeit beider Partner weitgehend unabhängig voneinander auf die Wahrscheinlichkeit wirken, ein weiteres Kind zu bekommen. Die Richtung der bei Männern und Frauen etwa gleich starken Effekte weist (im Gegensatz etwa zu Annahmen der ‚Neuen Haushaltsökonomie’) auf einen grundsätzlich positiven Zusammenhang zwischen unseren Erwerbsvariablen und der Familienentwicklung hin. Der Befund, dass ein traditioneller Familienkontext Geburten höherer Ordnung in Schweden eher blockiert, weist auf ein vergleichsweise hohes Maß an sozialer Gleichheit zwischen den Geschlechtern hin.

- In Sweden, parents receive a parental-leave allowance of a high percentage (currently 80%) of their pre-birth salary for about a year in connection with any birth. If they space their births sufficiently closely, they avoid a reduction in the allowance caused by any reduced income earned between the births. The gain is popularly called a “speed premium”. In previous work we have shown that childbearing was sped up correspondingly. This is clear evidence of a causal effect of a policy change on childbearing behavior. In the present paper, we study how this change in behavior was adopted in various social strata of the Swedish population.

- This study examines how the workplace situation of both parents affects fathers' parental leave use. We used parental leave-taking register data from Statistics Sweden for dual-earner couples who resided in Stockholm and had children in 1997 (n= 3,755). The results indicate that fathers shorten their parental leave if their workplaces are such that one can expect leave to be associated with high costs and that fathers appear to be influenced by the leave use of other fathers in the workplace. Mothers' workplace situation appears to be less important for fathers' leave use. The results point to the importance of actors other than parents (such as employers) for understanding the gender-based division of child care.

Gender equality and fertility in Sweden : A study on the impact of the father’s uptake of parental leave on continued childbearing
- 2006

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In Sweden, the birth or adoption of a child is accompanied by the right to more than one year of paid parental leave that can be shared between parents. This article examines the relationship between the father’s and the mother’s respective use of such leave and the continued childbearing of a couple. Our investigation is based on longitudinal information on registered parental leave use and childbearing of all intact unions in Sweden during 1988-99. We analyze our data by means of event-history analysis. We expected an extended paternal involvement in leave-taking to be positively associated with continued childbearing, since it makes family building more compatible with the mother’s labor force participation. In addition, such commitment to childrearing from the father’s side is likely to signal his greater interest for continued family building. Around 85 percent of fathers take some leave but in most cases for a brief time. We find a positive effect of a father’s taking moderately long leave on a couple’s second- and third-birth propensity, but no such effect of a father's taking very long parental leave.
