Abstract

Joint physical custody (JPC)-where children alternate between parental households after a separation-has been found to be on a rise in a diversity of European countries. However, variations in sampling, data and operationalization consistently complicate the comparative mapping of JPC prevalence and its correlates. In this respect, the 2021 EU-SILC ad hoc module on Living arrangements and conditions of children in separated and blended families provides a unique opportunity to study JPC prevalence across Europe. The current study aims to validate and expand on existing research by employing the module's second release, concerning children in households across 21 countries. Our descriptive overview of shared versus sole and main residence supports and adds to the previously noted diversity of JPC in Europe. We further note a similar father- to mother-residence ratio in countries with high and low incidence of JPC, warranting consideration of how social and legal norms regulate the granting of custody to mothers versus fathers in various country settings. Subsequently, we analyse the association of child-, parent-/household- and country-level characteristics with JPC using a three-level linear mixed model. The results underline the importance of a multi-level approach to understanding the correlates of JPC and prompt the elaboration of country comparisons using the EU-SILC module.

欧洲的共同监护权:比较探索。
共同抚养权(Joint physical custody,简称JPC)——孩子在父母分居后轮流在父母家庭中抚养——在欧洲国家越来越普遍。然而,抽样、数据和操作方面的差异始终使JPC患病率及其相关因素的比较制图复杂化。在这方面,关于分离和混合家庭中儿童的生活安排和条件的2021年欧盟- silc特设模块为研究整个欧洲的JPC患病率提供了一个独特的机会。目前的研究旨在通过采用该模块的第二个版本来验证和扩展现有的研究,该版本涉及21个国家的家庭中的儿童。我们对共同住宅、单独住宅和主要住宅的描述性概述支持并增加了之前提到的欧洲JPC的多样性。我们进一步注意到,在JPC发生率高和低的国家中,父亲与母亲的居住比例相似,这就需要考虑在不同的国家环境中,社会和法律规范如何规范将监护权授予母亲而不是父亲。随后,我们使用三级线性混合模型分析了儿童、父母/家庭和国家层面特征与JPC的关系。研究结果强调了采用多层次方法来理解联合政策的相关性的重要性,并促使使用欧盟- silc模块进行国家比较。

期刊介绍: European Journal of Population addresses a broad public of researchers, policy makers and others concerned with population processes and their consequences. Its aim is to improve understanding of population phenomena by giving priority to work that contributes to the development of theory and method, and that spans the boundaries between demography and such disciplines as sociology, anthropology, economics, geography, history, political science, epidemiology and other sciences contributing to public health. The Journal is open to authors from all over the world, and its articles cover European and non-European countries (specifically including developing countries) alike.
