This article analyses the demographic and social determinants of repartnering after divorce in four Baltic and Central European transition countries (Estonia, Lithuania, Poland, and Hungary), which, despite their common transition paths after the 1990s, developed distinct political economies and have different gender and family cultures. The article explores how the re-partnering chances of divorced women and men are shaped by the social divisions of gender, parenthood, age, and education within various transition-society contexts. In general, the fi ndings support the argument about the relevance and mediating role of the societal context in the process of re-partnering. Although we found an overall gender disadvantage in re-partnering across all countries, in more traditional contexts, parenthood undermines the chances of re-partnering for women but not for men. The negative effect of older age for re-partnering after divorce is almost universal for men, but is context-sensitive for women. Education does not affect women's chances of re-partnering, but it does play a signifi cant role in the attractiveness of men in more traditional settings. The analysis is based on the partnership and parenthood histories recorded in the Generations and Gender Survey.

ĮvadasŠio straipsnio tikslas -atskleisti vienų motinų su nepilnamečiais vaikais (iki 18 metų amžiaus) šeimų paplitimą Lietuvoje, šio tipo šeimų dalį tarp visų ir šeiminių namų ūkių, nustatyti pagrindines sociodemografines ir socioekonomines charakteristikas remiantis 2011 m. Lietuvos gyventojų ir būstų surašymo informacija. Nors, kaip rodo įvairūs atrankiniai tyrimai, minėto tipo šeimos susiduria su didesne skurdo rizika (Gyventojų pajamos ir gyvenimo sąlygos 2013), įvairiais aspektais patiria socialinę atskirtį (Maslauskaitė 2015), stokojama tikslios informacijos apie šių šeimų struktūrinius ir socialinius ekonominius ypatumus. Daugelio atrankinių tyrimų duomenys yra esminiu būdu riboti dėl per mažo į imtį patenkančio atvejų skaičiaus. Tad šiame straipsnyje pristatomi rezultatai, gauti analizuojant visos populiacijos lygmens informaciją, įveikia minėtus ribotumus ir papildo empirines žinias apie Lietuvos šeimas, kuriose vaikus augina vienos motinos. Paminėtina ir tai, kad straipsnio rezultatai gauti nagrinėjant ne agreguotus, bet individu-

The article analyzes the foreign-born population of Lithuania, its age and ethnic composition, and periods of arrival to Lithuania. The analysis is based on the 2011 Lithuanian Population Census data. The results of the analysis show that the foreign-born population of Lithuania is very heterogeneous and has three major groups formed at different times, by different immigration factors and flows, they are different by age and ethnic composition. Most of foreign-born population of Lithuania is formed during the Soviet era - those who arrived from the former USSR. Among them the majority are of Russians, but a quite large part - Lithuanians who arrived since the mid-sixties of 20th century (children of deportees). The youngest generation of the emerging foreign-born generation is from Western European countries.

This article provides evidence about changes in mortality inequalities by education and economic activity status among adults aged 30–64 and older adults aged 65 and over in Lithuania between 2001–05 and 2011–15. The study shows that the overall mortality decline in Lithuania was not homogeneous across socio-economic groups. The inequitable progress resulted in a widening in absolute and relative mortality inequalities among older adults and notable increases in relative mortality inequalities among adults aged 30–64. The total public health burden of mortality inequalities remained very pronounced or even increased further.
