Yet, little is known about how mothers and fathers of different social classes evaluate their success as parents and what predicts those assessments. Using data from the Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study, this study examines how caregiving and breadwinning are tied to parents’ self-evaluations by gender and social class. Results show that intensive parenting activities and full-time employment strongly predict more positive self-evaluations for mothers and fathers, reflecting gender symmetry in core cultural expectations of parents. However, earnings, homeownership, and overwork positively predict self-evaluations for fathers only, and mothers evaluate themselves more negatively than fathers at the same level of involvement and financial provision. Finally, intensive parenting activities similarly positively predict self-evaluations for more- and less-educated parents. Findings highlight challenges to meeting cultural expectations of modern parenthood, particularly for mothers and economically disadvantaged parents.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48338,"journal":{"name":"Social Science Research","volume":"128 ","pages":"Article 103156"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143507980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this expectation hinges on the actual utilization of FWAs by both genders in response to family needs. Drawing on longitudinal dyadic data from the UK (2010–2022), this study examines the disparities in the use of FWAs among couples by gender, parenthood, and occupation. We find that wives' use of all types of FWAs significantly increases after parenthood, whereas husbands' use remains unchanged. Moreover, mothers' use of FWAs varies by occupation and the type of FWAs. While traditional FWAs (e.g., reduced hours arrangements) are widely used by mothers regardless of their occupations, mothers from professional occupations are more likely to use novel FWAs (e.g., flexible schedule and teleworking arrangements) than those from non-professional occupations. The workplace gender inequalities are thus likely to continue in the FWA era, albeit in more subtle and nuanced forms that vary according to the types of FWAs and occupations involved.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48338,"journal":{"name":"Social Science Research","volume":"127 ","pages":"Article 103144"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143419888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we explore the role of neighborhoods in this integration process using population-wide Norwegian register data. Our findings reveal considerable socioeconomic disparities in neighborhood conditions among children from different immigrant backgrounds, underscoring the unequal opportunities experienced by these groups. While children of immigrants from high-achieving groups tend to reside in more privileged areas, those who face educational challenges are often concentrated in the most deprived neighborhoods. Furthermore, we find that the influence of socioeconomically disadvantaged neighborhoods on 5th-grade school achievements varies across children with origins from different regions. Specifically, children with parents originating from Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and the MENA region are less affected by neighborhood disadvantage compared to natives and other immigrant-origin groups. Supplementary analyses suggest that this resilience to neighborhood disadvantage is partly explained by the buffering effects of co-ethnic communities. In conclusion, the findings of this paper underscore that a nuanced understanding of the role of neighborhoods is needed to decipher social inequalities between not just children of immigrants and native-born children but also between immigrant descendants of different origins.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48338,"journal":{"name":"Social Science Research","volume":"127 ","pages":"Article 103152"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143386447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Local election officials (LEOs) play a key role in shaping these experiences. They run elections in voters' local jurisdictions, and are the authoritative sources of official, accurate, and timely information. Despite enjoying “close to home” status however, election officials may not be every voter's top information source for information about how to vote. In this paper, we argue that relying on \"close to home\" sources — local election offices, local or regional TV stations, and print publications — increases the chances voters are exposed to accurate information about how to vote, which translates into higher confidence in ballot accuracy. Drawing on a nationally representative survey of registered voters before the 2022 U.S. midterm elections, we find a positive relationship between these sources and voter confidence at personal, community, and state levels. This relationship holds even for integrity skeptics, such as Trump voters. While opting into “close to home” information ecosystems improves trust in elections, we note a key caveat: voters who rely on state election offices consistently report lower confidence. This suggests important nuances in how election officials are perceived by the public as trusted messengers in matters of election process and integrity.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48338,"journal":{"name":"Social Science Research","volume":"126 ","pages":"Article 103131"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143178365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
