“…Also, analysis-relevant groups are selectively disadvantaged. For example, women recall family events and moves better, and also are better at dating events from a variety of domains (Poulain et al, 1991;Auriat, 1993;Thompson et al, 1998) but are inferior when recalling labor market events (Thélot, 1989;Elias, 1991). This has two reasons: first, complex life courses with many atypical events are more error prone, and women's careers tend to include more moves between employment and states such as maternity leave and housekeeping, and more minor or part-time occupations.…”

“…But the validity threats are not equal across all kind of events or information on events. For example, significant moves between cities are recalled better than moves within cities, or child births are dated correctly very frequently, while a child's leaving the parental home is not (Poulain et al 1991;Auriat, 1993). Moreover, memory errors are not fate but can be reduced by techniques that allow human memory to proceed naturally and act out on its strengths in the interview situation while simultaneously offering support for its weak points (van der Zouwen et al, 1993;Belli, 1998;Belli et al, 2001;van der Vaart, 2002).…”

“…First, retrospective data are subject to recall errors, although the more salient the reported events are to the respondent, the lower the chances of recall errors. Dates of birth (of self and own children) and marriage are among the most accurately reported items in retrospective surveys, especially by women (Poulain, Riandey, and Firdion 1991). Retrospective reports on the incidence and timing of cohabitation are less reliable, so it is possible that some early and short-lived partnerships might have gone unreported (Casper and Cohen 2000;Murphy 2000).…”

We investigate how recent changes in the Western family have affected childhood living arrangements. For 17 developed countries, we use multistate life table techniques to estimate childhood trajectories of coresi‐dence with biological fathers versus other maternal partners. In all countries childhood exposure to single parenting is more often caused by parental separation than out‐of‐partnership childbearing. Both exposure to single parenting and expectancy of childhood spent with a single non‐cohabiting mother vary widely across countries, with the United States exhibiting the highest levels of each at early 1990s rates. The greatest international variations concern parental cohabitation—its prevalence, durability, and the degree to which its increase has compensated for a decrease in the expectancy of childhood spent with married parents. Overall, we find little evidence of international convergence in childrearing arrangements, except that in countries where parental marriage has declined over time, childrearing has predominantly shifted to single mothers.

“…We have had the opportunity to test these memory errors in Belgium, a country that maintains population registers. We were able to show that the errors concern the exact dating of events (Poulain et al, 1991), but do not alter the logical order of events, which is recalled accurately (Courgeau, 1991b). The survey is therefore reliable in those areas where the analysis requires it to be.…”

The Springer Series on Demographic Methods and Population Analysis

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In recent decades, there has been a rapid development of demographic models and methods and an explosive growth in the range of applications of population analysis. This series seeks to provide a publication outlet both for high-quality textual and expository books on modern techniques of demographic analysis and for works that present exemplary applications of such techniques to various aspects of population analysis.Topics appropriate for the series include:• General demographic methods • Techniques of standardization • Life table models and methods • Multistate and multiregional life tables, analyses and projections • Demographic aspects of biostatistics and epidemiology • Stable population theory and its extensions • Methods of indirect estimation • Stochastic population models • Event history analysis, duration analysis, and hazard regression models • Demographic projection methods and population forecasts • Techniques of applied demographic analysis, regional and local population estimates and projections • Methods of estimation and projection for business and health care applications • Methods and estimates for unique populations such as schools and students Volumes in the series are of interest to researchers, professionals, and students in demography, sociology, economics, statistics, geography and regional science, public health and health care management, epidemiology, biostatistics, actuarial science, business, and related fields.The titles published in this series are listed at the end of this volume.
