“…La gestión de la pareja no encaja siempre de manera inequívoca en una de las modalidades previstas. Esto significa que, en algunos casos, fue difícil combinar los datos recogidos a nivel individual con aquellos recogidos a nivel del hogar, ya que hubo algunas diferencias entre ellos (Coelho, 2014). En consecuencia, es posible que se hayan producido errores o sesgos metodológicos.…”

“…Coelho (2014) used data from the 2010 EU-SILC to test Pahl and Vogler's typology and concluded that most couples tend to somehow pool their incomes (64.5%). Only 29.6% opted for a whole wage arrangement, either managed by the wife (10.7%) or the husband (18.9%), while the HKA and the IMS were adopted by 3.2% and 2.8% of the couples, respectively.…”

Las modalidades de gestión del dinero en las parejas del sur europeo han recibido una atención limitada. Este estudio emplea un análisis de regresión para evaluar los sistemas de asignación de las parejas portuguesas y sus predictores. La muestra comprende 3.331 hogares de Portugal con al menos una pareja heterosexual. Los sistemas de asignación de las parejas fueron clasificados según la tipología de Pahl. Los resultados confirman los verificados anteriormente con relación a la prevalencia de la gestión conjunta y a los predictores de las modalidades de gestión. Se presentaron algunas particularidades: las decisiones tomadas en las familias multigeneracionales ampliadas o múltiples favorecen la gestión conjunta parcial. Las características distintivas de los hogares de las sociedades del sur europeas juegan un papel en la asignación intrafamiliar de recursos. Key words AbstractThe ways in which couples in South Europe manage their money has received little attention. This study uses regression analysis to evaluate the allocative systems of Portuguese couples and their predictors. To do this we use a sample of 3,331 households in Portugal with at least one heterosexual couple. Couples' allocative systems were classified based on Pahl's typology. The results confirm what has been found in previous studies regarding the prevalence of joint pooling management and the predictors of the different models for managing money. However, some particularities have been found: decisions taken in multi-generational familes favour partial joint pooling, as the distinctive characteristics of households in South Europe play a role in assigning intra-family resources.

Distributive Justice in Marriage: Experimental Evidence on Beliefs about Fair Savings Arrangements

Objective This study examines fairness perceptions of experimentally manipulated savings arrangements in couples (i.e., distribution of control and ownership of savings) to identify distributive justice principles in marriage. Background Theoretically, competing norms about individual ownership rights and autonomy (equity principle) and marital sharing (equality principle) in interaction with gender ideology (entitlement principle) may explain how individuals perceive the fairness of different savings arrangements, but these explanations have not been tested against each other yet. Method In a nationally representative factorial survey experiment, implemented in the German GESIS Panel, 3,948 respondents evaluated the fairness of randomly presented savings arrangements (N = 19,648 evaluations). Results Respondents rated equal control as more important than equal ownership to establish fairness in marriage. The ownership of savings does not seem to be directly linked to control, providing evidence against the equity principle. Inequality in ownership is rated fairer if it is in favor of the husband, whereas inequality in control is rated fairer if it is in favor of the wife. This suggests that gender is an ascriptive characteristic according to which resources should be allocated (entitlement principle). Conclusion The results indicate that the ideal of marital sharing is widespread, but is rather accomplished by equal control than by equal ownership. Individuals' fairness perceptions of inequality in marriage are gendered, that is, depend on whom inequality favors.

Who Is in Charge of Family Finances in the Russian Two-Earner Households?

Using a recent representative survey and supplemental interviews, we investigate household money management and domestic power dynamics in contemporary Russian twopartner families. During the Soviet period, it was women that typically managed household money. Today, while 45.6% of contemporary Russian two-partner households pool money and manage it jointly, and in about a quarter of families women are in charge, families with men in control of domestic money are on the rise among more affluent spouses who have been married for less than 20 years. While previous work finds evidence for the feminization of poverty in the postcommunist region, we underscore the otherwise hidden aspects of inequalitygendered access to household money among the relative "winners" of the transition: younger and more affluent families. We place these changes in the context of neoliberal market reforms, including labor market and welfare policy changes and the rise of neo-conservative gender ideology.
