“…Second, by taking a holistic perspective, a perspective that stresses the multidimensionality of the transition to adulthood, a more integral picture of young adults' life courses in Europe can be achieved. Studies that have sought to examine the transition to adulthood more comprehensively and more in line with an underlying life course conceptualization (i.e., from a holistic perspective) are still relatively scarce and such studies typically looked at single countries (Aassve, Billari, & Piccarreta, 2007 for Great Britain; Kleinepier, Valk, & Van Gaalen, 2015 for Netherlands; Koelet, Valk, Glorieux, Laurijssen, & Willaert, 2015 for Belgium; Robette, 2010 for France; Sironi, Barban, & Impicciatore, 2015 for Italy and the US; but cf. Lesnard et al, 2016 for 20 European countries).…”

“…However, second generation women-particularly of non-European origin-display lower employment rates compared to native women and the migrant-native employment gap is larger among women with children than among childless women (Holland & de Valk, 2017). Besides the societal relevance of migrant origin mothers' labour market participation, a reduced labour market participation after family formation can jeopardise women's financial independence, may increase poverty risks at the household level and has long-term implications for future labour market opportunities and social security protection (e.g., pensions) at later stages of the life course (Koelet et al, 2015;Neels et al, 2018).…”

Research indicates that the uptake of formal childcare for children under age 3 is lower among migrant origin parents than among native parents in most European countries, and that these differentials extend to the second generation. Despite considerable investments in formal childcare availability in many European countries, it remains unclear whether and to what extent expanding local childcare availability effectively diminishes migrant-native uptake differentials due to the lack of longitudinal research. Therefore, this study assesses for Belgium to what extent expansions in childcare availability within municipalities in the period 2010–2014 has increased the uptake of formal childcare for children under age 3 among households where the mother has a second generation Southern European, Maghreb or Turkish background, versus no migration background. We use longitudinal census and register data for Belgium that were linked to longitudinal tax return data on childcare expenses and municipality-level data on childcare availability for children aged 0–3. Our results show that Southern European and Turkish origin mothers become more likely to use formal childcare when childcare places become more widely available within their municipalities, but also that the uptake gap with native mothers persists, since there is no differential effect of increasing local childcare availability. Since local childcare expansions entail a slightly stronger increase in formal childcare uptake among Maghreb origin mothers compared to native mothers, this results in slightly decreasing migrant-native uptake gaps, although considerable uptake gaps remain. To our knowledge, this is the first longitudinal study addressing the relationship between local childcare availability and uptake differentials by migration background. This study can inspire avenues for follow-up research which could provide additional insight into the possible mechanisms behind the varying effects of increasing local childcare availability by migration background and the persisting migrant-native uptake gaps.

“…Moreover, research dealing with personality and relationship outcomes mostly focused on singular events, such as mate selection (Botwin, Buss, & Shackelford, 1997), the number of sexual partners (Heaven et al, 2003; Nettle, 2005), entry into marriage (Lundberg, 2012), and the occurrence of marital dissolution (for an overview, see Roberts, Kuncel, Shiner, Caspi, & Goldberg, 2007). There is though a growing interest for research adopting a life course perspective, studying longitudinal measures that capture all dynamics of individual’s behavior over a longer period of time (Koelet, de Valk, Glorieux, Laurijssen, & Willaert, 2015; Vanassche, Corijn, Swicegood, & Matthijs, 2015).…”

Effects of personality on postdivorce partnership trajectories

Personality is known to be a key predictor for several aspects of close relationship functioning. Most likely, the influence of this psychological factor is even growing in contemporary societies, where the individual life biography is increasingly the result of personal preferences and less influenced by normative expectations and cultural institutions. In an era of high relationship instability, more and more people engage in a second union. Although it becomes increasingly relevant to study the effects of personality on close relationship functioning in higher order unions, this remained understudied until now. This study examines the impact of personality on partnership trajectories following divorce. First, we construct a typology of eight partnership trajectories, capturing the occurrence, order, and timing of different partnership events (e.g., repartnering, cohabiting, getting married) in the first 7 years after separation. Then, we use multinomial logistic regression to examine the association between personality and the post-separation partnership trajectories, thereby controlling for sociodemographic variables. The analyses are based on data from a large-scale representative survey, the Divorce in Flanders Survey. Results show that personality and sociodemographic factors are both important determinants for explaining post-separation partnership trajectories. Extraversion tends to increase the likelihood and speed of repartnering. Neuroticism lowers the stability in partnerships. Conscientiousness is related with a higher likelihood to remarry. A higher age at separation and the presence of children at home decrease the likelihood to repartner, while education increases this. The present study delivers an important contribution for unraveling part of the complex association between personality and partner relationship dynamics.
