Childbearing after separation: do second unions make up for earlier missing births? Evidence from France
No full textToday, the childbearing process is no longer completed in one uniqueunion but has to be analysed in terms of a succession of family steps since more andmore people experience several partnerships in their life. This article aims to studyfertility behaviour after the first union in terms of total fertility and also the timing of thisfertility, by taking into account the fact that individuals in second unions may be racingagainst the biological clock since they form their union later. Using a French “onepercent”survey of Family History in 1999, results show that completed fertility in case ofseparation is generally reduced by 0.1 children for men and 0.15 for women. However, inthe event of repartnering, men’s fertility makes up for fertility of never separated men.Growing sterility with age affects step-fertility especially for women. The acceleration ofthe birth process for second unions in the hypothetical scenario of absence of sterilitymay be a proof of the couple's anticipation of fecundability decline with ag
The time benefits of young adult home stayers in France and Italy: a new perspective on the transition to adulthood?
No full textThis article analyses how two co-residing generations contribute to the housework workload in Italy and France during the early 2000s. It studies the intergenerational exchange of time between young adults and their parents by indirectly comparing the level of domestic comfort enjoyed by young people in the two closely neighbouring countries. A focus on the reasons for staying in the parental home provides an explanation for the tendency of young Italian adults to prolong their stay in the family nest. The results of time-use surveys suggest that young Italians (especially young men) may benefit more than their French counterparts in co-residing with their parents. Beyond the compositional or structural effects, they perform fewer domestic tasks than their French counterparts, a result that is related to different cultural practices

Part-time employment, the gender wage gap and the role of wage-setting institutions : evidence from 11 European countries
No full textWe examine how far the over-representation of women in part-time jobs can explain the gender gap in hourly earnings, and also investigate how far wage-setting institutions are correlated with the overall gender wage gap and the female part-time wage gap. Using European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) 2009 data for 11 European countries, we implement a double decomposition of the gender wage gap: between men and women employed full-time and between full-time and part-time working women. This shows that the wage penalty of women employed part-time occurs mainly through the segregation of part-time jobs, but the full-time gender pay gap remains mostly unexplained. At the macro level, the gender wage gap tends to be higher in countries where part-time employment is more widespread. Some wage-setting institutions seem to reduce the female full-time/part-time pay gap and the gender gap among full-time workers
Fathers' time with children at the crossroads of the gender revolution: a comparative analysis in France, Italy, Sweden and the UK
Full text linkAccording to recent literature the increasing women’s labour market participation is only the first part of the so called gender revolution, while a second part is now unfolding, with an increased participation of men in family life with special attention to childcare.
The aim of this paper is to explore fathers’ involvement in parenting tasks within different contexts in terms of gender regimes, family policies, and workplace culture. The idea is to evidence individual factors that may enable/challenge the capability of fathers to stay with children and care for them, and to suggest opportune father-friendly policies.
Time with children is compared among a sample of fathers in Time Use survey in France (2009-2010), Italy (2008-09), Sweden (2000-2001) and the UK (2000). Three different measures of father involvement are examined: the total time father spend with their children, the time they spend alone with them, and their engagement in childcare activities.
Results show that distinct micro-level factors contribute in determining the three levels of father’s commitment analysed. Few cross-countries differences emerge. Fathers’ involvement is mainly determined by their work-related features, by their children characteristics, and by their partner’s working schedules. Weekday and weekend differences are observed. The quantum of father engagement strongly depends on the countries’ institutional context: it is the highest in Sweden and the lowest in Italy.

Full text linkBACKGROUND
According to recent literature the increasing women's labour market participation is only the first part of the so called gender revolution, while a second part is now unfolding, with an increased participation of men in family life with special attention to childcare.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this paper is to explore fathers' involvement in parenting tasks within different contexts in terms of gender regimes, family policies, and workplace culture. The idea is to evidence individual factors that may enable/challenge the capability of fathers to stay with children and care for them, and to suggest opportune father-friendly policies.
METHODS
Time with children is compared among a sample of fathers in Time Use survey in France (2009-2010), Italy (2008-09), Sweden (2000-2001) and the UK (2000). Three different measures of father involvement are examined: the total time father spend with their children, the time they spend alone with them, and their engagement in childcare activities.
RESULTS
Results show that distinct micro-level factors contribute in determining the three levels of father's commitment analysed. Few cross-countries differences emerge. Fathers' involvement is mainly determined by their work-related features, by their children characteristics, and by their partner's working schedules. Weekday and weekend differences are observed. The quantum of father engagement strongly depends on the countries' institutional context: it is the highest in Sweden and the lowest in Italy.
CONTRIBUTION
This comparative study shows the methodological importance of considering different measures of father involvement to understand how micro-level factors influence the time fathers spend with their children in different institutional context
Le temps domestique et parental des hommes et des femmes : quels facteurs d'évolutions en 25 ans ?
No full textAu cours des dernières décennies, l’organisation domestique a été affectée par des évolutions majeures, telles que la montée de l’activité féminine et du niveau d’instruction, ou la réduction de la taille des familles. Cet article analyse de quelle manière les temps domestiques et parentaux des hommes et des femmes ont été modifiés par ces transformations depuis 1985. Il étudie les évolutions des moyennes et des distributions de ces deux usages du temps pour l’ensemble des personnes d’âge actif, et il porte un regard particulier sur les changements opérés au sein des couples. Au cours des 25 dernières années, les femmes ont consacré davantage de temps aux activités parentales, mais elles ont sensiblement réduit le temps dédié à l’entretien domestique. Cette baisse tient surtout aux changements de leurs pratiques, et dans une bien moindre mesure à la progression de l’activité féminine et aux changements des structures familiales. La réduction est plus notable pour les femmes qui consacrent le plus de temps à la sphère domestique. Les hommes se sont davantage impliqués dans l’éducation des enfants, les pères peu ou non participants devenant plus rares. Toutefois, la contribution des hommes aux autres tâches domestiques est demeurée stable. En 2010, les femmes effectuent ainsi la majorité des tâches ménagères et parentales – respectivement 71 % et 65 %. Cette inégale répartition montre des résistances à un partage plus égal des tâches. Au sein des couples, les comportements domestiques et parentaux sont liés positivement, mettant en évidence des exigences domestiques et préférences éducatives communes qui vont au‑delà de l’homogamie sociale ainsi qu’une moindre spécialisation des rôles conjugaux au fil du temps. Le nombre de couples dans lesquels l’homme réalise davantage de travail domestique que leur conjointe augmente, ils représentent un quart des couples en 2010.Champagne Clara, Pailhé Ariane, Solaz Anne.
