The second demographic transition from a gender perspective

Abstract: The first part of the paper will outline the 'second demographic transition' in Western Europe. The second part deals with the effects of the second demographic transition on household composition, especially with the increase of cohabiting couples, single parent families, one-person households and step families. While the position of women is of central importance to theories of the second demographic transition, the changing nature of gender relations has tended to be neglected.

“…Bernhardt (2004) has argued that inattention to gender is one of the main shortcomings of the SDT (also see Arpino 2014; García-Manglano et al 2014; McDonald 2000; Solsona 1998). She points out that individual autonomy and self-actualization are not gender-neutral concepts; they hold different meanings and implications for men and women.…”

“…She points out that individual autonomy and self-actualization are not gender-neutral concepts; they hold different meanings and implications for men and women. Thus, the consequences of women’s increasing self-actualization and individualism are more consequential for family change than men’s shifts to higher-order preferences (Bernhardt 2004; see Solsona 1998 for a substantive example).…”

“…Researchers have found the SDT to be a useful overview of these family trends, but there is little consensus on what their determinants and consequences might be, or indeed on how general they are (Bernhardt 2004;Cliquet 1992;Coleman 2004;Van de Kaa 2004). The main problem of this unilinear interpretation of family change is that the SDT fails to predict many contemporary patterns of change and /or difference from a gender perspective (Solsona, 1998).…”

“…los modelos teóricos sobre el matrimonio han explicado el descenso del número de matrimonios y su retraso atribuyéndolos a los cambios de posición de las mujeres y a su independencia en la sociedad y en el mercado de trabajo, que las lleva a reconsiderar la posibilidad de entrar en una relación (Becker, 1981;Oppenheimer, 1988;Solsona, 1998). Este cambio de actitud no sólo reduce las posibilidades de formar parejas complementarias, también puede cambiar la naturaleza de las relaciones ya establecidas.…”
