However, temporal connections between migration and union formation, particularly non-marital cohabiting unions, remain underexplored. As cohabiting unions have long coexisted with marriage in parts of Latin America, this omission may be particularly misrepresentative of the family formation strategies of Hispanic immigrants. Drawing on data from the National Survey of Family Growth (2011-2017), I examined the association between the timing of migration and entry into first marital or non-marital (cohabiting) union, treating marriage and cohabitation as competing events for first union type. Among women whose first union was non-marital, I also examined the relationship between migration and the likelihood of transitioning out of the non-marital union, either through marriage or union dissolution. Results showed that marriage formation was high the year of migration, and increased again only after 6 years post-migration, whereas cohabitation was high the year of migration and continued to increase with each period following migration. Furthermore, non-marital unions formed prior to migration were likely to transition to marriage or dissolve, while those formed after migration were likely to remain non-marital. These findings point to distinctions in the types of partnerships formed before and after migration and to the salience of non-marital unions for women who migrate unpartnered, demonstrating the need for further research on the socioeconomic integration and well-being of unmarried or cohabiting immigrant women, and the dynamic connections between migration, gender, and family.</p>","PeriodicalId":47212,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Comparative Family Studies","volume":"53 1","pages":"331-355"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11309013/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48494538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Negotiating Commitment: White Marriage in Iran","authors":"Mehrnaz Golestaneh","doi":"10.3138/jcfs.52.4.08","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3138/jcfs.52.4.08","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:Iranians describe unmarried, cohabitating couples as living in a ‘white marriage’. The growing number of white marriages in Iran has provoked official media condemnation and increasing public discussion about commitment. In this article I examine the meaning of commitment and commitment-making processes among middle-class women and men in pre-marital and self-regulated white marriages. I argue that their conceptualization of commitment in white marriage is heterogeneous, fluid, and mutually agreed upon, rooted in a resistance to expectations of their relationship based on old norms of marriage. Moreover, I note how their idea of commitment in white marriages evolves over time. I also examine white-marriage commitment during life challenges, such as a financial crisis or illness. My investigation, based on sixteen interviews, shows that beyond the binary of traditional or modern in third space, most couples in white marriage believe in negotiating agreed-upon commitment in an egalitarian way, whereas in practice they reproduce gendered norms, while offering each other mutual support during life crises.Résumé:Les Iraniens décrivent les couples qui cohabitent sous le même toit comme des « mariages blancs ». Le nombre croissant de ce type de mariage (le concubinage) en Iran est mal vu par les médias officiels et soulève le débat public sur la question de l’engagement. Dans cet article, j’examine la signification de l’engagement ainsi que ses processus au sein des couples de classe moyenne avant-mariage et en situation de cohabitation sur base d’entente commune. Ensuite, j’avance l’argument vers le concept de l’engagement chez les couples non-mariés, ce qui est hétérogène, fluide et géré d’un commun accord. En fait, ce type de relation est une sorte d’opposition aux attentes liées aux normes traditionnelles du mariage. De plus, je note que l’idée de l’engagement chez les couples en concubinage évolue avec le temps. J’argumente également l’engagement au sein des couples qui vivent en concubinage à travers les épreuves de la vie comme les difficultés financières ainsi que la maladie. Mon enquête, basée sur seize entrevues, montre qu’au-delà de la vision binaire, traditionnelle ou moderne, il existe une troisième vision qui préconise que la plupart des couples en concubinage croit en un engagement basé sur le commun accord. Cette entente a été obtenue de manière équitable. Pourtant, en pratique, ils reproduisent les mêmes normes sociales que les couples mariés tout en s’apportant un soutien mutuel l’un vers l’autre au cours des épreuves rencontrées durant leur vie de couple.","PeriodicalId":47212,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Comparative Family Studies","volume":"52 1","pages":"689 - 714"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41886037","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}

The present research describes two experimental studies that revisit and extend this work by examining the extent to which perceptions of singles depend on marital history, gender, and race, both of which employ a more diverse sample of Americans via Amazon’s Mechanical Turk (MTurk). Black Americans are less likely to marry, more likely to divorce, and less likely to remarry than their White counterparts; Black women are less likely to marry than Black men; and Black women contend with nuanced stereotypes that portray them as strong, independent, and self-sufficient. These differences suggest race may shape beliefs about singles, and that racialized differences may be gendered. In Study 1, respondents rated a married or never married man or woman across a range of characteristics. In Study 2, respondents rated a White man, White woman, Black man, or Black woman who was either married, never married, or divorced. Across both studies, regression models indicate singles were evaluated more negatively than married people. Moreover, divorced Black women were perceived more positively on several measures compared to divorced members of other groups. For the most part, however, the magnitude of the singlism effect did not vary by marital history (never married or divorced), gender, or race. We note that null findings regarding gender and race are often relegated to the file drawer, but that this practice distorts the results of systematic reviews and perpetuates the misconception that groups of people (e.g., men and women, Blacks and Whites) are vastly different from one another, a belief that undergirds and justifies inequality.Résumé:Plusieurs études menées dans les années 80 et 90 ont montré que les étudiants de premier cycle perçoivent les personnes non mariées moins favorablement que les personnes mariées.

Les Noirs américains sont moins susceptibles de se marier, plus susceptibles de divorcer et moins susceptibles de se remarier que leurs homologues blancs; les femmes noires sont moins susceptibles de se marier que les hommes noirs; et les femmes noires sont aux prises avec des stéréotypes nuancés qui les décrivent comme fortes, indépendantes et autosuffisantes.

Using a convenience-sampling approach, we interviewed mothers and fathers from 50 rural and 50 urban intact Malay families in peninsular Malaysia. We employed the tenets of the bioecological systems theory to interpret the findings. Multivariate analysis of variance revealed that mothers spent more time doing housework, laundry, childcare, and preparing meals than fathers did and fathers spent more time in maintenance and shopping for food than mothers did in both rural and urban families. Whereas urban fathers spent more time in childcare and shopping for food than their rural counterparts did, mothers and fathers in urban families equally participated in keeping track of expenses. The discrepancy between mothers’ and fathers’ time engagement in childcare was less in urban families than it was in rural families. Mothers were more engaged in traditional areas of household labor than fathers and compared to rural fathers, urban fathers spent more time in most household tasks including childcare. In view of rapid urbanization and multiethnic social context, the current findings are important because they highlight the contemporary patterns of parental engagement in household labor including childcare in understudied Malay families.Résumé:Cette étude demande si la distribution des activités ménagères y inclus la garde de l’enfant dans les familles malaises varie selon le sexe des parents et leur résidence rurale ou urbaine. En employant la technique d’échantillonage de convenance, nous avons complété des entretiens avec des mères et des pères de 50 familles rurales et 50 familles urbaines, en choisissant des familles intactes et malaises de la Malaisie péninsulaire.

Concurrently, the quality of parenting is underpinned by the dominant parenting ideas and practices that prevail in a specific socio-cultural context at a specific time. These ideas and practices may, therefore, vary over different social contexts, as well as over time. South Africa has a history of patriarchal family structures characterised by authoritarian parenting practises across its diverse population groups. Since the end of apartheid, however, South African society has been undergoing rapid changes that has impacted parenting structures and ideas. Currently, little is known about how these changes have affected contemporary young South Africans’ parenting constructions, specifically higher socio-economic groups that are more likely to take up contemporary ideas. To address this knowledge gap, this study adopted a feminist social constructionist framework and explored the parenting constructions of a group of tertiary-educated prospective parents. We conducted in-depth interviews with 21 postgraduate university students and used an inductive thematic analysis method to analyse the interview data. The results indicate that the prospective parents in this study adhered to authoritative parenting principles, distanced themselves from traditional gendered parent roles, and aspired to equal parenting roles in their own parenting. However, parallel to these signs of modern parenting ideas is the maintenance of traditional parenting notions such as innate differences between male and female parents, heterosexual parenting units as ideal for children, superiority and primacy of biological children, and associating parenthood with ultimate life fulfilment.Résumé:La qualité des pratiques parentales joue un rôle crucial dans le développement et bien-être d’une personne. Elle va de pair avec les idées et pratiques dominantes qui prévalent dans un contexte socioculturel particulier. Ces idées et pratiques varient donc selon différents contextes sociaux dans le temps.

Il existe peu d’informations sur l’impact de ces changements sur le concept de la parentalité chez les jeunes Sud-Africains, surtout dans les groupes socio-économiques élevés, ces groupes étant plus susceptibles d’adopter des idées contemporaines. Afin de combler ces lacunes, cette étude adopte un cadre constructionniste social féministe et examine le concept de la parentalité au sein d’un groupe de futurs parents diplômés du niveau tertiaire.

To date, research has not focused on how migrants in Iceland arrange care for their young children. Poles constitute the largest group of first-generation migrants in Iceland, and the study addresses the question of how they arrange care for their children compared to Icelandic parents. A population-based survey and qualitative interviews with parents were used to gain an understanding of the childcare practices of the two groups of parents during the first two years after childbirth. In the study, childcare practices refer to the use of paid parental leave and care arrangements after the leave period is over. The study draws on Bourdieu’s concept of habitus when discussing how parents construct their childcare practices. The findings show that although Polish and Icelandic parents use their entitlements to paid parental leave to a similar degree, their childcare practices are quite different. While there is more emphasis on family care among Polish parents, Icelandic parents rely more on public out-of-home care options, showcasing how parents construct childcare practices in a constant flux of values and the social context in which they live.Résumé:En Islande, la politique en matière de congé parental est celle d’encourager les deux parents à une vie professionnelle et à une vie de famille.

This article presents the findings from an integrative research review on parenting in Bangladesh. A comprehensive search conducted in PubMed, Science Direct, and PsychINFO using the keywords \"parenting\", \"childcare\", \"motherhood\", \"fatherhood\", \"mothering\", \"fathering\", each paired with \"Bangladesh\" yielded 246 articles. Twenty papers published between 2006 and 2018 were selected for thematic analysis based on pre-set criteria. In most studies, the term mother was used interchangeably with parent, with mothers regarded as the primary caregiver. Parenting in the Bangladeshi context was found to be conceptualized primarily in terms of attitudes, disciplinary practices, feeding, parent–child interaction, and psychosocial stimulation. Parenting components aimed at moral development and attachment building in children were underrepresented. The data revealed largely inconsistent and uncoordinated discussions of parental practices, demonstrating the lack of a holistic approach in the literature in Bangladesh. Research on parenting in Bangladesh favors gendered assumptions of females as the primary caregiver. Based on their findings, the authors recommend qualitative studies to better reflect and conceptualize the concept of parenting in Bangladesh.Résumé:Cette étude prend comme point de départ la nécessité de repenser et renouveler les recherches et connaissances existantes dans le domaine de la parentalité au Bangladesh.

Tian","doi":"10.3138/jcfs-2021-0065","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3138/jcfs-2021-0065","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:This paper documents trends in and examines determinants of stay-at-home motherhood in urban China from 1982 to 2015. China once had the world's leading female labor force participation rate. Since the economic reforms starting from the early 1980s, however, some mothers have been withdrawing from the labor force due to diminished state support, a rise in intensive parenting, and heightened work-family conflicts. Based on data from the 1982, 1990, and 2000 Chinese censuses, the 2005 mini-census, and the 2006–2015 Chinese General Social Survey, we find mothers' non-employment increased for every educational group and grew at a much faster rate among mothers than it did among fathers, particularly those with small children. Moreover, the negative relationships between mothers' education and non-employment, and between mothers' family income and non-employment weakened overtime. This is possibly due to women with more established resources can better \"afford\" the single-earner arrangement and also more emphasize the importance of intensive parenting, than their less resourced counterparts. These findings signal the resurgence of a gendered division of labor in urban China.Résumé:Ce document documente les tendances et examine les déterminants de la maternité au foyer dans les zones urbaines de Chine entre 1982 et 2015. La Chine avait autrefois le taux de participation des femmes à la population active le plus élevé du monde. Cependant, depuis les réformes économiques du début des années 1980, certaines mères se sont retirées de la population active en raison de la diminution du soutien de l'État, de l'augmentation de l'éducation intensive des enfants et de l'aggravation des conflits entre travail et famille. Sur la base des données des recensements chinois de 1982, 1990 et 2000, du mini-recensement de 2005 et de l'enquête sociale générale de 2006–2015, nous constatons que le nonemploi des mères a augmenté pour chaque groupe d'éducation et a augmenté à un rythme beaucoup plus rapide chez les mères que chez les pères, en particulier ceux qui ont de jeunes enfants. En outre, les relations négatives entre le niveau d'éducation des mères et le non-emploi, et entre le revenu familial des mères et le non-emploi se sont affaiblies au fil du temps. Cela est peut-être dû au fait que les femmes disposant de ressources plus importantes peuvent mieux \"se permettre\" d'avoir une famille monoparentale et souligner davantage l'importance d'une éducation parentale intensive, que leurs homologues disposant de moins de ressources.
