- 2014

- The aim of this paper is to decompose the increase in the share of out-of-wedlock births in Poland into two components: one attributed to the changing structure of births based on marital status at conception, and one related to the declining propensity for shotgun weddings. Analysis of data from the Birth Register 1985-2009 shows that a decline in the propensity to marry among single pregnant women played an important role in the diffusion of non-marital childbearing, especially in the last decade. In urban areas, the impact of the declining propensity for shotgun weddings was greater than in rural areas. This is consistent with the notion that rural areas are a more traditional context for family formation. It seems that in villages, social pressure still inhibits the diversification of family forms more strongly than in cities.

A PERIOD TOTAL FERTILITY RATE WITH COVARIATES FOR SHORT-PANEL DATA
- 2014

- Hoem and Muresan (2011a) have recently shown that the most widely used macro-level indicator of fertility, the total fertility rate (TER), can be reconciled with fertility estimates that derive from applications of event history analysis (EHA) to micro-data. The purpose of this paper is to extend their ideas and show that they can be usefully applied to short panels, i.e. when the same people are interviewed in two or more successive rounds over a very limited number of years. This method can also be applied to data collected for general purposes and not strictly for demographic research, including data of an economic nature (employment, income, geographic or professional mobility, etc.). Despite the absence of questions on fertility, group-specific fertility estimates can be obtained that are not otherwise available (e.g. fertility by income level before the birth of the child), which are not biased by memory or selection of respondents and can be made consistent with the TFR observed in that period for the entire population. An application to Italian EU-SILC data in the years 2004-2007 highlights the advantages and the limitations of the method.

- There is an interesting tension between optimism and pessimism in the considerations in the original essay. I find myself largely in agreement with the author's sentiments, but on a number of items I have a more muted attitude or a different diagnosis. In what follows I concentrate on three main issues that have struck me as I read the text. 1Understanding and explanationI agree strongly with...

RECENT FEATURES OF COHABITATIONAL AND MARITAL FERTILITY IN ROMANIA
- 2013
-
In: Population. - : CAIRN. - 0032-4663 .- 1957-7966. ; 68:4, s. 667-695
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Until the late 1980s there was little non-marital cohabitation in Romania. After the fall of state socialism, the overall fraction in consensual unions grew steadily, and by 2005 it had reached some 10%. This development had consequences for the patterns of childbearing. The present paper presents selected features of fertility in consensual and marital unions in Romania over the period 1985-2005 based on the data from the national Generations and Gender Survey conducted in Romania in 2005. To this end we use underlying fertility rates specified by union duration and utilize a metric based on an aggregation of such rates over all durations, irrespective of parity. We also highlight groups of women who have been particularly prone to have children outside marriage, namely women with a low educational attainment and women of a rural origin. Women in consensual unions in these two groups were strongly affected by the dramatic changes in family policies around 1990, and their aggregate fertility in cohabitational unions in subsequent years is similar to that of marital unions. For the fertility of partnered women in the two groups, it does not seem to matter much whether they are married or not.

L’avant-garde en matière d’espérance de vie montre-t-elle la voie au reste de la population?

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Do vanguard populations open new frontiers of survival and longevity that will eventually be reached by others? The main aim of this study is to identify the extent to which the non-vanguard populations in Finland, Norway, and Sweden might follow the mortality trajectories of the vanguard groups in these countries for different age ranges and for the major causes of death. The results show no systematic convergence between vanguard and non-vanguard sub-populations. On the contrary, they confirm the theory whereby each major epidemiological development initially gives rise to divergence in mortality trends. Our study found that at the sub-national level, rather than simply following (with a certain time lag) the same path as the vanguard groups, non-vanguard groups have their own pathways to low mortality which are related to specific determinants of mortality change. The study also found that a long time is needed for the non-vanguard group to attain the mortality levels already reached by the vanguard group at the start of the observation period. This is notably the case for the treatment and prevention of cardiovascular diseases.

Period and Cohort Measures of Internal Migration
- 2019
-
In: Population. - : CAIRN. - 0032-4663 .- 1957-7966. ; 74:3, s. 333-349

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Migration is rarely analysed from a cohort perspective, which is not the case for the two other main demographic phenomena of fertility and mortality. This study shows how standard demographic methodology can be used to study internal migration from a combined period and cohort perspective at the population level. Age-specific migration rates and the total migration rate are presented for both period and cohort data. Administrative register data are used for the years 1970 to 2012 on all interparish migration events for the complete population of Sweden. The results show an overall increase in the concentration of migration events in early adulthood, while total migration frequencies over the life course remained stable since 1970, with a small decline in the 1980s. Cohort rates show less fluctuation than period rates. The study shows that a population-level approach is useful not only for migration but also for simultaneously examining cohort and period trends. These methods can easily be extended by decomposing data into different distance thresholds and according to migration order, given the available data.

Employment and motherhood entry in South Korea : 1978-2006
- 2013
-
In: Population. - : Institut National d'Etudes Demographiques. - 0032-4663 .- 1957-7966. ; 68:3, s. 419-446

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This study uses event history analysis to explore the relationship between women’s employment and motherhoodentry in the socioeconomic and institutional context of South Korea. Data used for analysis come from waves 1to 10 of the Korea Labor and Income Panel Study (KLIPS) collected between 1998 and 2007. The study shows thatmotherhood entry declines during the study period, particularly from the 1990s onward, with marriagepostponement and decline arguably contributing to this downtrend. Women who leave the labour market aremore likely to become mothers than working women and women with no employment experience. Labourmarket withdrawal is a signal of family formation and extension. However, this practice has been challenged inrecent years, and staying at work up to and during pregnancy has gained prevalence. Among wage earners,women employed in the public sector are more likely than others to become a mother, underlying the importanceof employment stability for motherhood entry in Korea. The fertility behaviour of private-sector employeesappears to be sensitive to changes in the business cycle.

Does time count? Immigrant fathers’ use of parental leave for a first child in Sweden
- 2018

In: Population. - : cairn info. - 0032-4663 .- 1957-7966. ; 73:2, s. 363-382

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This study aims to investigate immigrant fathers’ use of parental leave for a first child in Sweden from 1995 to2010. The issue of immigrant fathers’ uptake of parental leave is particularly well suited to assess the integrativeaspects of family policies and for studying immigrants’ integration because it reflects labour market participationand acceptance of gender-equal parental norms. Using data from Swedish population registers, we find thatimmigrant fathers do take parental leave but not to the same extent as Swedish-born fathers do, and they donot respond equally to policy changes. Our most important finding is that immigrant fathers increase their leaveuse with time spent in Sweden, indicating an adaptation to the leave-use pattern of Swedish-born fathers. Wealso find that individual income, as well as the mothers’ characteristics, are strong determinants of parental leaveuse.
