“…The majority of LAT women balanced the conflicting ideals of autonomy and togetherness. This finding echoes those reported by Evertsson and Nyman (). As partnerships evolve and move toward cohabitation, a collective orientation toward money begins to emerge, thus confirming the link between emotional commitment and the sharing of finances, as reported in previous studies (Brown & Brown, ; Singh & Lindsay, ).…”

Drawing on qualitative interview data from a sample of 54 men and women engaged in living apart together (LAT) partnerships in Belgium (Flanders), this study explored the organization and exchange of money in LAT arrangements. The data showed that the heterogeneity of LAT partnerships is reflected in couples' monetary behavior, with couples who foresee cohabitation (transitional LATs) showing more marriage‐like exchanges of financial support than those who perceive living apart together as a more permanent arrangement (permanent LATs). The economic position of the partners and the importance attached to economic independence and breadwinning mediate the impact of future expectations on the financial practices of LAT couples. The data also showed that traditional notions of gender and coupledom continue to be strongly influential, even in nontraditional types of partnerships.

“…We found some difficulties in operationalizing Pahl and Vogler's typology, similar to those found in previous studies (Ashby and Burgoyne, 2008;Bennett, 2013;Evertsson and Nyman, 2012), as in some cases the couple's choice did not fall unequivocally into any of the categories. This means that, in a number of cases, it was difficult to match data collected at the individual and household levels, as there was some dissimilarity between the actual answers and the classification criteria adopted based on theory (Coelho et al, 2014).…”

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.

Revista Española de Investigaciones Sociológicas, Los estudios pioneros y las conclusiones de Pahl (1980, 1983, 1989) sobre las modalidades de gestión del dinero de las parejas británicas 2 dieron lugar a una amplia e importante línea de investigación (Bennett, 2013) desde el punto de vista académico y sociopolítico, ya que puede informar las elecciones relativas a políticas de bienestar, familia y matrimonio. La asignación económica intrafamiliar influye en el nivel de vida y determina la autonomía y el bienestar de los miembros de la familia (Ashby y Burgoyne, 2008;Burgoyne et al., 2007;Pahl, 1995;Sonnenberg, 2008; Vogler y Pahl, 1993).Se han estudiado los predictores de las «modalidades de gestión del dinero de las parejas» 3 , sus interrelaciones con la autonomía y el bienestar de los miembros de la familia, y con la satisfacción con la relación conyugal (Burgoyne et al., 2007; Heimdal y Houseknecht, 2003;Kenney, 2006; LudwigMayerhofer et al., 2011;Oropesa et al., 2003;Pahl, 1995; Vogler y Pahl, 1993;Vogler et al., 2006Vogler et al., , 2008, así como las consecuencias de los cambios en los valores socioculturales asociados a las relaciones matrimoniales, familiares y de género en las modalidades de gestión (Pahl, 2008;Vogler, 2005;Vogler ...

“…8 These types of difficulties in using the typology have also been mentioned by other authors, who suggest as possible explanations the fact that the categories used are not mutually exclusive, the fact that some individuals interpret the questions idiosyncratically, and the lack of similarity between the classification criteria used and the pattern of responses actually given by some couples (Ashby and Burgoyne, 2008;Bennett, 2013;Evertsson and Nyman, 2012).…”

My Money, Your Money, Our Money: Contributions to the Study of Couples’ Financial Management in Portugal*

The relationship between conjugality and household financial management has yet to be properly studied in Portugal, particularly in what concerns the ways dominant social norms regarding gender and marriage influence financial behaviour, power relations and resource consumption and sharing by couples. Studies carried out in other countries show that the various systems for managing family accounts are related, in a complex manner, to access to resources, wellbeing and satisfaction of needs of the different family members. This paper aims to contribute to the understanding of this subject in the Portuguese context by discussing the complexity of intrahousehold financial negotiations and decisions. It also presents the preliminary results of a study which, using data from the 2010 Portuguese Institute of Statistics Survey on Income and Living Conditions, applies to Portuguese couples a typology of modes of financial management and control developed by Jan Pahl and Carolyn Vogler.
