“…In familialist welfare regimes, references to familial values may be used as a device to legitimize the absence or scarcity of policies. Familialist attitudes and behaviours may emerge as a consequence rather than a cause of a lack of alternatives (see also Calzada and Brooks, 2013). Furthermore, as other authors suggested, culture is not a set of shared meanings that propels human actions in a coherent and homogeneous way, but a 'repertoire' or 'tool-kit' from which individual actors construct their strategies of action (e.g.…”

The aim of this article is to articulate the concepts of familialism and defamilialization as well as their indicators to assess whether and how welfare states, or regimes, differ not only in the degree to which they are defamilialized but also in the specific familialism form. In other words, it assesses whether family responsibility in a given area (and its gender dimension) is only assumed without public policy support or, on the contrary, whether it is actively enforced by laws or supported by income transfers and time allocation. The same diversification also exists for the opposite concept, defamilialization, which may happen through positive, direct or indirect policy interventions or because of the lack of such interventions, encouraging recourse to the market. The article shows that when considering these distinctions in the analyses, the profiles of countries that are usually generically described as ‘familialistic welfare states’, such as Italy and Spain in Europe or Japan and Korea in East Asia, and their similarities and differences partly differ from those that emerge when considering only a simplified familialism – defamilialization dichotomy, in so far both familialism and defamilialization may occur, and be combined, through distinct means, offering, therefore, also different options.

“…The above conclusions reached for Greek young people could have relevance in other contexts as well, since recent evidence has shown that familism is also strong in Eastern Europe and in several English speaking communities (Calzada & Brooks, 2013).…”

The study examined whether the characteristics of the other partner in a dyad could reveal some unique intimate relationships regardless of the commonalties in the intimate relationships adolescents and emerging adults endorse with four important partners (mother, father, female and male peers). Six hundred and thirteen (56.8% female) Greek adolescents and emerging adults participated in the study. Participants endorsed their agreement to nine items addressing issues of intimacy and companionship. The intimate relationships with the four important partners share some common characteristics reflecting the person who endorses the intimate relationships and are also reciprocal, depending on who is the other partner in the dyad. The intimacy participants endorsed with their parents contributed to the intimate relationship with their peers of the same sex with the parent. The way Greek youth is gendered could explain the characteristics of the intimate relationships they endorse with the other partners in the dyads.

“…US, Australia, Germany, Spain) have mostly confirmed extant results (Burgoyne et al, 2007;Heimdal and Houseknecht, 2003;Kenney, 2006;Ludwig-Mayerhofer et al, 2011;Oropesa et al, 2003), Pahl (2008) herself postulates that patterns and predictors of intra-household money arrangements might not generalize across societies and cultures. This may well be the case in South European countries, such as Portugal, known for their familialist tradition in which intergenerational interaction and solidarity and late emancipation of young people are distinctive features that still prevail (Aboim, 2011;Calzada and Brooks, 2013;Martínez et al, 2004;Naldini, 2003;Jurado and Naldini, 1996;Naldini and Saraceno, 2011).…”

“…Strong intra-family solidarity and interdependence is a major distinctive trait of South European societies (Calzada and Brooks, 2013;Esping-Andersen, 1999;Naldini, 2003). There is evidence that care activities carried out by family members are more time intensive in Southern countries than in their Northern counterparts (Attias-Donfut et al, 2005); and adult children more often provide personal care to their parents in the South than in Northern and Continental countries, where these services tend to be provided by professionals (Brandt et al, 2009).…”

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 ...
