Loose Ties? Determinants of Father–Child Contact After Separation in Germany

“…The analyses are based on data from the German Family Panel pairfam ("Panel Analysis of Intimate Relationships and Family Dynamics"), a multidisciplinary, longitudinal study of partnership and family dynamics in Germany (Brüderl, Garrett, et al, 2017;Huinink et al, 2011). The annually surveyed nationwide random sample includes respondents of the birth cohorts 1971 to 1973, 1981 to 1983, and 1991 to 1993. To allow for more in-depth comparisons of family dynamics in eastern and western Germany, a subsample was drawn in 2009 and 2010 that oversampled eastern Germans of the cohorts 1971 to 1973 and 1981 to 1983 (Kreyenfeld, Huinink, Trappe, & Walke, 2012). The German Family Panel is well-suited for examining how father-child contact is contingent on the father's union history and current status, as it provides the full union histories of all respondents, including periods of living apart together relationships.…”

Childlessness in East and West Germany: Long-Term Trends and Social Disparities

“…To further explore the socioeconomic gradient in childlessness, we analyzed estimates from the German Family Panel pairfam, the results of which are shown in Table 5.6 (for details on this data see: Huinink et al 2011;Kreyenfeld et al 2012). The sample was restricted to West German men and women of the 1971-1973 cohorts who were at least 40 years old at the last interview (on average age 41) and who were born in Germany.…”

Fertility Ideals of Women and Men Across the Life Course

“…The German Family Panel (pairfam) is a panel survey that provides data on the formation and development of intimate relationships and families in Germany (Brüderl et al 2015;Huinink et al 2011). DemoDiff is a survey of residents of eastern Germany that is designed to complement the German Family Panel (Kreyenfeld et al 2012). The pairfam and DemoDiff interviews are conducted annually with individuals from eastern and western Germany of the cohorts 1971-73, 1981-83, and 1991-93.…”
