“…A steady relationship is essential for men to start a family, and in western Germany, marriage is an important normative precondition of parenthood. Having children while cohabiting is still an exception (Höpflinger 1997). One would be interested in knowing the impact of different kinds and degrees of formalization of relationships on the transition to fatherhood.…”

This paper examines the relationship between work and family among men in western Germany. We investigate the extent to which a difficult start in and insecurities during the working life affect men's transition to fatherhood, and the degree to which this effect is influenced by characteristics of the respondent's family of origin and his relationship history.We use proportional hazards models to analyze data of the third "Familiensurvey" conducted by the German Youth Institute in 2000. In accordance with the spillover hypothesis, which assumes that labor market success (or failure) leads to success (or failure) in family behavior, we found that under difficult and/or insecure circumstances in career patterns, men delay their transition to fatherhood. The delay is caused in particular by unemployment, self-employment or part-time work. A successful career development, however, increases the propensity to have a child soon after having taken a career step. Contrary to the hypothesis of individualization, the social status and the composition of the family of origin still have an impact on the fertility behavior of men in adulthood. In particular, the transition rate to fatherhood is higher if the man grew up with at least one sibling, while losing a parent through death decreases the rate. Both the employment career and the parental home influence the formation of steady relationships, and this explains in part their effect on the transition to fatherhood.

“…Deze convergentie wordt in Europa juist niet waargenomen, ondanks de Europese wetgeving en andere stimulerende factoren. Integendeel, onderzoekers nemen een blijvende en in sommige opzichten zelfs toegenomen divergentie in huishoudensvormen, gezinspatronen, en arbeidsmarktgedrag van vrouwen in Europa waar (Boh, 1989;Hakim & Blossfeld, 1997;Hopflinger, 1997). Dit storende feit is moeilijk in overeenstemming te brengen met de politiek correcte aanname van een universele en overweldigende voorkeur van vrouwen voor ongeiimiteerde beroepsdeelname.…”

The Sociology of Half a JobThe Netherlands is the first one-and-a-half earners per household economy in the world. How can this outcome be explained^ Will it be a stable outcome, or will the Netherlands evolve towards a two-earners per household society? Three questions are answered in this article: Why is part-time work so popular in the Netherlands? How has the marginalisation of part-time jobs been prevented? Will the one-and-a-half model last? One major conclusion is that present developments are an example of'the advantage of backwardness'. Something new was invented and became normalised, due to the almost total exclusion of married women and mothers from the labour market and welfare arrangements in the recent past. Another conclusion is that the increased social and cultural heterogeneity in life conditions and preferences in present-day society makes a development towards a two-earners per household model, as in Sweden, highly unlikely.
