“…On the other hand, Vikström, Haage, and Lundevaller (2020) study revealed that men and women with disabilities are reluctant to marry each other. They also mentioned that disability significantly impeded people's marriage prospects as a possible consequence of social marginalization in society.…”

Method:A qualitative research method specifically, the phenomenological approach, was adopted to conduct this research. An in-depth semi-structured interview was used to interview ten participants. Conclusion:Overall, two themes and four sub-themes were derived from thematic analysis. The finding indicates that social support from family members and people in the surrounding, and a sense of belonging are fundamental social needs of people with hearing loss. Further research is needed to investigate the reasons behind the unmet social needs of people with hearing loss. Limitation:The major limitations of the study were -lack of official data regarding people with hearing disability in Afghanistan, non-availability of sign language interpreters, and cultural constraints faced by female study participants.

“…In recent years, Lotta Vikström has continued to investigate the lives of people with disabilities. This is done in an interdisciplinary research group, funded by the ERC (Junkka, Sandström, & Vikström, 2020;Vikström, Haage, & Häggström Lundevaller, 2020;. In this project, disability is studied from many different aspects, in both historical time and contemporary society, and with both quantitative and qualitative sources.…”

The Demographic Data Base (DDB) at the Centre for Demographic and Ageing Research (CEDAR) at Umeå University has since the 1970s been building longitudinal population databases and disseminating data for research. The databases were built to serve as national research infrastructures, useful for addressing an indefinite number of research questions within a broad range of scientific fields, and open to all academic researchers who wanted to use the data. A countless number of customised datasets have been prepared and distributed to researchers in Sweden and abroad and to date, the research has resulted in more than a thousand published scientific reports, books, and articles within a broad range of academic fields. While there has long been a clear predominance of research within the humanities and social sciences, it has always been used for research in other fields as well, for example medicine. In this article, we first give a brief presentation of the DDB and its history, characteristics, and development from the 1970s to the present. It includes an overview of the research based on the DDB databases, with a focus on the databases POPUM and POPLINK with individual-level data. A number of major traits of the research from 1973 to now have been outlined, showing the breadth of the research and highlighting some major contributions, with a focus on work that would have been very difficult to perform without data from the DDB.

“…This study provides statistical evidence that individuals born in Sweden during the 1970s who received disability pensions during young adulthood experienced significantly lower odds to marry or cohabit. In another contribution (Vikström et al, 2020, this issue), the authors discuss some previous life course results using Cox regression models on digitised parish registers in which ministers reported impairments (Haage et al, 2017). The disability outcome is shown in Figure 1 in terms of hazard ratios (the first pair of bars).…”

Notions of family life and romantic partnership, like notions of disability, have been culturally constructed and socially produced over historical time, and our understandings of these notions are being continually challenged and renegotiated across time and space. Policies, institutions, and cultural practices across the globe have brought about changes to the construction of the family and to the rights and inclusion of disabled people in private and public life. This special issue brings together a collection of studies from different countries and time periods to explore the interplay between disability, romantic partnerships, and family life across the individual lifetime and between generations. With this interdisciplinary collection, we seek to merge disability research and research on family and partnerships through a life course lens. This offers unique insights and opportunities to interconnect historical and cultural location and changing social institutions with individual and family experiences. This introduction presents the eight studies in the collection and discusses them within a life course frame that views disabled people's roles as partners, spouses, and members of a family. In so doing, it engages in an analysis of (dis)similarities concerning how family dynamics, romantic relationships, and disability have developed over time and in different spaces.
