205898.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access)We study to what extent adjustments in labor market participation, defined as employment entry and exit, and as increases and reductions of weekly working hours, depend on resources of the partner. Moreover, we investigate whether the influence of the partner depends on historical period, human capital, and children. We are especially interested in the economic-based hypothesis that people are more likely to reduce working hours when their partners have more resources. We use retrospective information on labor market careers of 5,685 respondents and their (ex-)partners (Family Surveys of the Dutch Population 1998-2003). Our results provide little support for the economic hypothesis, and we suggest that family formation and cultural factors are more important predictors for male and female labor market participation adjustments in the Netherlands
Informal caregiving and well-being in Europe: What can ease the negative consequences for caregivers?
No full textContains fulltext :
134377.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access)Against the background of an ageing society with an increasing demand for informal caregivers, this study examines (1) to what extent informal caregiving is negatively related to well-being, (2) to what extent the relationship between informal caregiving and well-being varies over countries and (3) to what extent national policies and countries' normative climates reduce the well-being gap between caregivers and non-caregivers. Analyses on the European Quality of Life Survey 2007 (N=20,396 in 18 countries), applying multilevel regression techniques, confirmed previous findings that caregivers have lower levels of well-being than non-caregivers. This relationship varied between countries. Generous availability of formal long-term resources reduces the well-being gap between caregivers and non-caregivers. Surprisingly, services that are designed to support informal caregivers do not alleviate the negative well-being consequences. A strong country-level family norm does not affect the well-being gap between caregivers and non-caregivers, but reduces the negative well-being consequences of intensive caregiving.18 p
Leisure values of Europeans from 46 countries

121627.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access)This study examines to what extent Europeans find ‘relaxing’ and ‘learning something new’ is important in their leisure time and explains variation in these leisure values by individual and country-level characteristics. These values reflect possible responses to a perceived ‘time crunch’ resulting from demanding work and family obligations and the drive to develop personal skills because of societies’ emphasis on personal achievement, respectively. Multi-level analyses were conducted with 46 countries based on the European Values Study 2008. Results show that individuals with objective time pressure (work obligations and, for females, partner's work schedules) find relaxing an important aspect of leisure time and that people who presumably perceive investments in personal development to pay off (young, highly educated, internal locus of control) value learning something new in leisure time. Country-level explanations focus on modernization and institutionalization. It is found that relaxing is more highly valued in economically advanced societies and in Muslim countries. Learning something new in leisure time is found especially important in achievement-based and post-communist societies, but—contrary to the expectations—less so in economically developed societies; apparently, rational arguments concerning the presumed pay offs of spending leisure time on personal growth prevail over the valuation of self-expression

Occupational status of partnered gay men and lesbians in the Netherlands: How to explain the gap with men and women in heterosexual couples?
No full textContains fulltext :
116591.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access)This study describes and explains the gap in occupational status between partnered homosexual and heterosexual (wo)men in the Netherlands. Thirteen waves of the Dutch Labor Force Surveys, including 875 partnered gay men and 901 partnered lesbians, have been analyzed with the Oaxaca decomposition method. Bivariate results show significantly higher occupational statuses among partnered gay compared to straight men and among partnered lesbian compared to straight women. Theoretical explanations for these gaps are (1) differences in endowments (distinguishing field of education, educational level, partner’s education, marital status, and parenthood) and (2) differences in the strength of the effects of these factors. When the above determinants are kept constant, occupational status of (wo)men in same-sex couples does not significantly differ from that of (wo)men in different-sex couples. Different educational—next to other—endowments are the major explanation for the favorable occupational positions of partnered gay men and lesbians; in addition, less detrimental effects of parenthood for partnered lesbians partly explain their higher levels of occupational status
