In recent years, researchers have become increasingly interested in how the effects of parental separation on children’s educational attainment vary with social background. On the one hand, parents with more resources might be better able to prevent possible adverse events like separation to affect their children’s outcomes. On the other hand, children from higher social backgrounds might have more resources to lose from a parental separation. A wide range of empirical studies on the issue have come to inconsistent conclusions, with support found for both perspectives. The aim of this paper is to monitor the influence of methodological and operational choices on the different results observed across studies. We focus on aspects such as the operationalization of key variables, the measurement of inequality in absolute and relative terms and the different strategies used to address endogeneity. We study the effects of parental separation on educational attainment for a cohort of British children born in 1970 and find that conclusions change depending on whether social background is measured using the mother’s or father’s characteristics and whether relative or absolute differences between groups are considered. Results are relatively insensitive to the operationalization of dependent variables and the treatment of missing data. When using data from Understanding Society instead of the British Cohort Study, results also did not change. We reflect on how these findings can explain the contradictory results from earlier studies on the topic, and how heterogeneity in the effects of parental separation by socio-economic background should be interpreted. 相似文献

This work examines what role children play in the re-partnering process in five European countries (Norway, France, Germany, Romania, and the Russian Federation) by addressing the following research questions: (1) To what extent do men and women differ in their re-partnering chances?; (2) Can gender differences in re-partnering be explained by the presence of children?; (3) How do the custodial arrangements and the child’s age affect the re-partnering chances of men and women? We use the partnership and parenthood histories of the participants in the first wave of the Generations and Gender Survey (United Nations, Generations and Gender Programme: Survey Instruments. United Nations, New York/Geneva, 2005) to examine the transition to moving in with a new partner following the dissolution of the first marital union, separately for men and women. The story that emerges is one of similarities in the effects rather than differences. In most countries, men are more likely to re-partner than women. This gender difference can be attributed to the presence of children as our analyses show that childless men and women do not differ in their probability to re-partner. Mothers with resident children are less likely to re-partner than non-mothers and a similar though often non-significant effect of resident children is observed for fathers. In most countries we find that as the child ages, the chances to enter a new union increase. In sum, our study indicates that children are an important factor in re-partnering and a contributor to the documented gender gap in re-partnering, and this holds throughout distinct institutional and cultural settings. 相似文献

Parenthood has strong effects on people’s life. Some of these effects are positive and some negative and may influence the decision of having other children after the first. Demographic research has only marginally addressed the relationship between subjective well-being and fertility, and even less attention has been reserved to investigate how the subjective experience of the first parenthood may influence the decision to have a second child. Performing log-logistic hazard models using HILDA panel data (2001–2012), changes in couples’ objective life conditions and satisfaction within family and work domains after the first childbirth are related to the timing of the transition to the second parenthood. Results show that partners adopting traditional gender specialization in roles proceed quicker to the second child; however, experiencing dissatisfaction in reconciling, in the couple’s relationship and in the work domain negatively affects mothers’ probability of having a second child in the future. 相似文献

Whether immigrant women’s introduction to paid labor empowers them with greater autonomy or exacerbates their oppression has
been debated variously in the scholarship on gender and migration. In this paper, the author examines Korean immigrant women’s
perspectives on work outside the home after migration. Based on in-depth interview data, the paper emphasizes Korean women’s
own interpretations of work and motherhood, and highlights the ways in which they define and redefine work in relation to
other aspects of their post-migration experiences. The analysis finds that income producing work is not empowering in and
of itself, but contingent upon other post-migration challenges such as economic downward mobility and women’s changed roles
as working mothers. Furthermore, women’s perception of work fluctuates over time. The findings suggest that paid work should
not be simply interpreted as an empowering change, but the linkage between work and other aspects of immigrant women’s post-migration
realities needs to be more closely examined.

从《国朝汉学师承记》、《国朝经师经义目录》、《国朝宋学渊源记》看,江藩基本把握住了戴震的学术全貌,比较注重戴震对友朋后学的影响,当然,这两点处处都渗透着江藩的"纯汉学"眼光;江藩对戴震以"晓徵为第二人"颇有微词,这是缘于他认为戴氏之学低于钱大昕,实际上他在多处是惠戴并称的;江藩品人论学多以戴震为参照,其前辈学者及友朋论戴惠之学亦无贵己贱彼之迹象。认为吴皖分帜之观念始于江藩且其有重吴略皖之倾向,实有武断之处。 相似文献

In the mid-2000s, Ireland experienced a large inflow of immigrants, partly in response to strong economic growth but also in response to its decision to allow full access to its labour market when EU expansion occurred in May 2004. Between 2004 and 2007, the proportion of non-nationals living in Ireland almost doubled, increasing from 7.7 to 13.1%. Between 2008 and 2009, Ireland experienced one of the most acute downturns in economic activity in the industrialised world, with a cumulative fall in Gross National Product of close to 14%. In this article, we assess how this downturn has impacted upon the employment outcomes of non-nationals relative to natives. We find huge job losses among immigrants, with an annual rate of job loss of close to 20% in 2009, compared to 7% for natives. A higher rate of job loss for immigrants is found to remain when we control for factors such as age and education. We also show how an outflow of non-nationals is occurring. The findings have many implications. In particular, the results point to economic vulnerability for immigrants. However, they also point to a potential macroeconomic benefit to Ireland in terms of a flexible labour supply adjustment. 相似文献

Analyses of the economic consequences of divorce have emphasized the negative effect of divorce for women. For men, consequences
of divorce are most often believed to be social or psychological. This is not consistent with an economic literature showing
the positive effects of marriage on men’s wages. Using a nationally representative life-history survey among men in the Netherlands,
this paper reanalyzes the possible negative effects of a divorce for the careers of men. Complete life histories provide information
on upward and downward occupational mobility as well as on unemployment and disability. Multivariate event history models
show that after divorce, men experience an increased chance of becoming downwardly mobile, an increased chance of becoming
unemployed, and an increased chance of becoming disabled. Additional analyses are done to assess whether these effects are
spurious, due to the influence of earlier problems that men experienced in their lives, as measured by indicators of employment
problems, health problems, and problems in social relationships. While these variables have an effect on the future career,
they are not strong enough to eliminate the divorce effect. Implications are discussed for different theoretical hypotheses
about the importance of marriage and divorce for men’s employment.

This article aims to assess the extent to which women's labor force participation reflects culturally or situationally induced
family strategies above and beyond the well-known effects of opportunities and constraints associated with education and the
life cycle. We focus particularly on women immigrants from the former Yugoslavia in Australia, and explore the family strategies
by comparing the Yugoslav women systematically to immigrant women from other parts of the Mediterranean world and to immigrant
women from other parts of the Slavic world. To this end, we use data from the one percent public use sample of individual
records of the 1981 Australian Census. We find that the labor force particiaation patterns of immigrant women from the former
Yugoslavia are more shaped by education and less shaped by the life course than is true of other groups, although the life
course matters for all of them. Indeed, in the impact of education on labor force they closely resemble the Eastern Europeans
across most of the range of education. But in the impact of life cycle stage on participation they more closely resemble the
Greeks and the Italians. This emphasizes how important it is that statistical agencies release data at the greatest possible
level of detail: A country may belong in one group for some purposes, but in a different group for other purposes. We assess
a number of explanations for birthplace differences in participation patterns, and find most wanting. We suggest that they
may reflect culturally conditioned intergenerational wealth flows and patterns of time investiment in children and the elderly.

The deep drop of the fertility rate in Italy to among the lowest in the world challenges contemporary theories of childbearing
and family building. Among high-income countries, Italy was presumed to have characteristics of family values and female labor
force participation that would favor higher fertility than its European neighbors to the north. We test competing economic
and cultural explanations, drawing on new nationally representative, longitudinal data to examine first union, first birth,
and second birth. Our event history analysis finds some support for economic determinants of family formation and fertility,
but the clear importance of regional differences and of secularization suggests that such an explanation is at best incomplete
and that cultural and ideational factors must be considered. 相似文献

This paper investigates the associations between preferred family size of women in rural Bihar, India and the fertility behaviours of their mother and mother-in-law. Scheduled interviews of 440 pairs of married women aged 16–34 years and their mothers-in-law were conducted in 2011. Preferred family size is first measured by Coombs scale, allowing us to capture latent desired number of children and then categorized into three categories (low, medium and high). Women’s preferred family size is estimated using ordered logistic regression. We find that the family size preferences are not associated with mother’s fertility but with mother’s education. Mother-in-law’s desired number of grandchildren is positively associated with women’s preferred family size. However, when the woman has higher education than her mother-in-law, her preferred family size gets smaller, suggesting that education provides women with greater autonomy in their decision-making on childbearing. 相似文献
