Comparable research based on developing countries is rare. We utilize the 1999 (n = 16,928) and 2009 (n = 140,753) Vietnam Population and Housing Censuses to perform multivariate analyses that examine living conditions among single mothers with different living arrangements, household headship, and marital status. Single mothers who were household heads or lived with their children only were less likely to have standard basic amenities, durable goods, and live in an owned residence. Separated, divorced, and widowed single mothers were more likely than the never-married to have standard basic amenities and durable goods. However, never-married single mothers were more likely to live at owned residences than were other single mothers. Findings suggest that such diversity among single mothers should be acknowledged and taken into account when designing social policies and programs to support single mothers.","PeriodicalId":47212,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Comparative Family Studies","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135988631","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An Examination of Changes in Fertility Aspirations in China","authors":"Sampson Lee Blair, Shi Dong","doi":"10.3138/jcfs.54.2.050","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3138/jcfs.54.2.050","url":null,"abstract":"Fertility policies in China have changed substantially over recent years, with the intention of allowing individuals to bear more children and, thereby, to increase the total fertility rate. Using a sample of young adults, this study examines changes in fertility aspirations (the desired number of children, and the timing of first birth) across the three fertility policy periods (One-Child, Two-Child, and Three-Child). The results show that both young females and males increasingly prefer fewer children, and a later age at first birth. Both parental and peer factors are shown to significantly affect fertility aspirations, yet individual factors, such as gender attitudes and pronatal beliefs, yield stronger associations. The implications of the findings, along with the possible future of fertility patterns in China, are discussed with the developmental paradigm.","PeriodicalId":47212,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Comparative Family Studies","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135804683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using data from the Family Models in Germany (FAMOD) and Norwegian Dynamics of Family Conflict (FAMC) studies, we estimated OLS regression models for children aged 2 to 14. In the German sample, children in asymmetric JPC had fewer mental health problems than children in SPC. However, this difference disappeared when controlling for various background variables, including the quality of parent-child relationships. Additionally, children’s age moderated the association between physical custody arrangements and children’s mental health problems, with increasing age being related to fewer mental health problems in asymmetric JPC. This association remained even after controlling for the background variables. In the Norwegian sample, no differences were found in children’s mental health across physical custody arrangements; nor did children’s age moderate the association. The results of this study emphasize that there may be cultural differences in how children’s mental health is related to their physical custody arrangements. Furthermore, there are modest indications that asymmetric JPC may be related to better mental health among older children in Germany.","PeriodicalId":47212,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Comparative Family Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135804682","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"South Korea’s Fertility Puzzle: A Mismatch Between Sustained Childbearing Desires and Declining Fertility","authors":"Jolene Tan","doi":"10.3138/jcfs.54.2.030","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3138/jcfs.54.2.030","url":null,"abstract":"Although marriage and fertility rates in South Korea have been declining for decades, many perceive having two or more children as the ideal. To understand the mismatch between childbearing desires and realities, this study describes the interrelatedness and incongruity of Korean women’s attitudes toward marriage, childbearing and gender roles by viewing attitudes as a multidimensional construct. Using data from the Korean Longitudinal Survey of Women and Families, latent transition analysis was conducted to identify classes of women with similar attitudinal response patterns and develop a typology of their personal dispositions toward family life. Three attitudinal classes emerged from the analysis: Traditional Familism, Transitional Ambivalence and Contemporary Individualism. The first class includes those with traditional attitudes to family formation and gender roles, while the latter two classes indicate a more positive orientation toward parenthood than marriage. This finding is particularly important in a context where having a child outside of marriage is rare and stigmatized, and suggests that low fertility may be potentially related to divergences in marriage and childbearing attitudes. Overall, these findings emphasize the importance of jointly considering attitudes across various family-related domains to better capture the complex attitudinal dynamics associated with women’s perceptions of family life.","PeriodicalId":47212,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Comparative Family Studies","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135804684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Parents play an important role in influencing adolescent online behavior, however, there is limited understanding about what influences parent's management of their children's online behavior. The current study was designed to examine the complex associations between parents' attitudes about OSB, active parental mediation of adolescent's online behavior, and adolescent OSB using a diverse U.S. sample. Further, whether these associations are moderated by parent-child gender was examined. Results add insight into how, and under what circumstances fathers and mothers differentially monitor their adolescents' online behavior and what that means for adolescents' actual online behavior. Results also provide a preliminary understanding of the role parents' approval of OSB plays in adolescent OSB and how this association is moderated by parent-child gender. This research helps lay the groundwork for developing strategies targeted toward shaping and/or changing parents' attitudes about their sons' and daughters' OSB in ways that support mediation strategies and responsible adolescent OSB.Résumé:Les adolescents du monde entier passent beaucoup de temps à adopter un comportement social en ligne (CSEL). Le rôle des parents est important puisque ceux-ci exercent une influence sur le comportement en ligne des adolescents, toutefois nous avons une compréhension limitée de ce qui influence la gestion par les parents du comportement en ligne de leurs enfants. La présente étude vise à examiner les associations complexes entre les attitudes des parents à l'égard du CSEL, la médiation parentale active du comportement en ligne de l'adolescent et le CSEL adolescent à l'aide d'un échantillon américain diversifié. La question de savoir si ces associations sont modérées par le genre du parent et de l'enfant a elle aussi été examinée. Les résultats permettent de mieux comprendre comment et dans quelles circonstances les pères et les mères surveillent différemment le comportement en ligne de leurs adolescents et ce que cela signifie pour le comportement en ligne réel des adolescents. Les résultats fournissent également une compréhension préliminaire du rôle que joue l'approbation du CSEL par les parents chez les adolescents et comment cette association est modérée par le genre du parent et de l'enfant. Cette étude contribue à établir une base pour l'élaboration de stratégies visant à façonner et/ou à changer les attitudes des parents à l'égard du CSEL de leurs fils et filles et ainsi soutenir les stratégies de médiation ainsi qu'un CSEL responsable chez les adolescents.","PeriodicalId":47212,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Comparative Family Studies","volume":"54 1","pages":"30 - 50"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42606054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the 2019 Korean Time Use Survey data, we assessed time spent in childcare and paid work among dual-earner couples with young children. OLS regression analysis was conducted separately for mothers' and fathers' childcare time, focusing on time spent on paid work and differences in work schedules. Mothers tend to leave for work later and head home earlier compared to fathers, presumably to take care of children. Couples worked longer separately than concurrently, and paid work time was strongly associated with one's own and spousal time spent on childcare, supporting the desynchronization of work hours at the couple-level. Although the mother's major responsibilities for childcare are still prevalent in Korea, couples tend to desynchronize working time with spouses so that one parent can be present with the children.Résumé:Cette étude a examiné comment les couples à deux soutiens en Corée coordonnent leur temps de travail pour faire face aux responsabilités parentales et s'ils emploient le « tag-team parenting ». À l'aide des données de l'Enquête Budget-Temps Coréeenne de 2019, nous avons évalué le temps passé dans la garde des enfants et le travail rémunéré chez les couples à deux soutiens avec de jeunes enfants. L'analyse des régressions OLS a été menée séparément pour le temps consacré à la garde des enfants par les mères et les pères, en mettant l'accent sur le temps consacré au travail rémunéré et les différences dans les horaires de travail. Les mères ont tendance à partir travailler plus tard et à rentrer chez elles plus tôt que les pères, probablement pour s'occuper des enfants. Les couples travaillaient plus longtemps séparément que concurremment, et le temps de travail rémunéré était fortement associé au temps passé par le conjoint et soi-même à la garde des enfants, appuyant la désynchronisation des heures de travail au niveau du couple. Bien que les principales responsabilités en matière de garde d'enfants pèsent encore sur la mère en Corée, les couples ont tendance à désynchroniser le temps de travail avec les conjoints afin qu'un parent puisse être présent avec les enfants.","PeriodicalId":47212,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Comparative Family Studies","volume":"54 1","pages":"75 - 99"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48167851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
