State-of-the-art Report
"This report presents the main research findings relevant to the research in Work Package 3: 'The new roles of men and women and implications for families and societies'. It first depicts the development of family forms in Europe, with a focus on the de-standardization of the family life course and the interplay between the changes in family forms and in gender roles. It proceeds to describe the relationship between women's and men's new roles and family dynamics, and the implications of the changes in gender structures on the transition to parenthood. This is followed by two chapters which focus on the implications of these changes on intra-family organization, namely on changes in gender roles in doing family and on coping strategies of families under conditions of uncertainty and precariousness. Each chapter provides an overview over the main theoretical approaches, complemented by a review of the main empirical findings. Each chapter thus identifies the theoretical and empirical knowledge gaps and research needs essential for WP3. The report concludes with a summary of the research conducted in the work package and its relation to well-being in families."--Author abstract.
Policy Changes and Family Stability
During the last few decades, policies concerning family dissolution and gender equality have changed radically in Sweden accompanied by growing family instability. This development raises the question whether policies influence family behavior. By analysing data on families with children, extracted from the Swedish Family Survey of 1992-93, some interesting policy effects are detected. Although the no-fault divorce law had hardly any long-term effect on family stability in Sweden, joint custody and fathers' use of parental leave seem to be important. Also, findings regarding mothers' education and employment status indicate the influence of policy, at least indirectly, on family disruption.
