“…Similarly, women in Turkey and Morocco are generally younger when they become mothers than women in the Netherlands, although differences are getting smaller (United Nations 2013). Overall, despite the fact that family patterns are prone to change in Turkey and Morocco, the standard biography is still the dominant family trajectory among women in these countries (Koc 2007).…”

“…On the theoretical side, contemporary Dutch society is often depicted in the literature as being in favor of autonomy, emancipation, and gender equality (Oppenheimer 2004). In contrast, in more patriarchal societies such as Turkey and Morocco, cultural norms regarding the timing and sequencing of important family transitions are found to be stricter for women than for men (Bowen and Early 1993;Koc 2007). In the Caribbean region, mothers appear stricter and more demanding with daughters than sons, while the involvement of fathers is childrearing practices is rather marginal (Sharpe 1997).…”

“…Although family behavior in non-Western societies has also changed over the past decades (Kagitcibasi and Ataca 2005), previous work has indicated that there are still strict norms and values on the timing and sequencing of family transitions in these societies (Koc 2007;Nauck 2002). In the typical patrilineal Turkish and Moroccan societies, the behavior of women especially is bound by rules as they may put the family's reputation at risk through disapproved actions (Bowen and Early 1993).…”

“…There are more traditionally arranged marriages, and Turkish and Moroccan youth marry and have their first child younger than Caribbean migrants. Koc (2007) showed that the home-leaving process in Turkey follows a sequential pattern like many other Mediterranean countries: entry into the labour force, marriage, the birth of the first child and finally leaving home. It is likely that cultural norms facilitate a delayed departure from the parental home and an extended family life in which an intergenerational transmission of resources takes place.…”

This study examines ethnic differences in leaving the parental home and the choice of destination (both location and quality of housing) in the Netherlands. Using unique individual administrative panel data, we study the mobility of the entire birth cohort 1983. In contrast to previous studies, this paper includes the geographical location and the quality of destination living arrangements in the analysis, in an attempt to explain ethnic differences in leaving the parental home. We show that ethnic minority youth, in particular those from Turkish and Moroccan origin, improve their housing quality when leaving the parental home. This results in earlier home-leaving than among young people of native Dutch origin. Our results on the early home-leaving behaviour of ethnic minority youth are robust with regard to the geographical distance of nest leavers.

“…There are many definitions of what constitutes a successful transition to adulthood. The hallmark of the transition, and thus a significant dimension of success for emerging adults, is the ability to live independently (Koc, 2007). To achieve this goal, emerging adults have to be financially secure; that makes them concerned about employment after graduation.…”

Purpose To better understand health-related decision making among overweight and obese emerging adults. Design and Methods A cross-sectional design was used in the parent study involving overweight and obese emerging adults, ages 18–29 years. The goal of the parent study was to screen participants’ diabetes risk and identify characteristics of emerging adults with prediabetes (N = 107). A sub-sample of respondents (n = 34) from the parent study were invited to participate in focus group interviews depending on whether they had prediabetes (three groups) or they did not have prediabetes (four groups). Each focus group interview lasted 90–120 minutes following a semi-structured interview guide. Conventional content analysis was used in the data analysis. Because of the similarities between participants with and without prediabetes, the findings were synthesized and reported in the aggregate. Moreover, during the analysis, the authors decided that Rational Choice Theory provided a useful organizing structure for presenting the data. Results Emerging adults’ behavioral decisions were rational reactions to their personal competence, perception of health, environment, and availability of resources to handle problems. Trade-offs calculation and estimations of resource availability were often used when making decisions. Conclusions Emerging adults choose unhealthy behaviors due to inaccurate information and insufficient competence to practice healthy lifestyles rather than because of laziness or being irrational.
