Stigmatized cohabitation in the Latvian region of the eastern Baltic littoral: nineteenth and twentieth centuries
2014
The social history of coresidence arrangements in the Latvian region suggests that forms of cohabitation without marriage were present in the Latvian population since the eighteenth century when empirical evidence became available. Before the twentieth century, however, these forms remained marginal and seldom involved choice. The subject of severe criticism until the 1960s–1970s, such forms become more widespread thereafter as the Latvian population began to exhibit many key features of a second demographic revolution. Post-Soviet censuses now suggest that such coresidence patterns in the Latvian population approach the levels of those in most western European states, including the Scandin…
Geographic conditioning in dietary, social, and health patterns in elderly population with disabilities
2018
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to identify the most relevant variables defining the dietary, social, and health patterns of elderly populations with disabilities, considering their geographic profile. Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out in a sample of 354 disabled, free-living elderly adults from three different geographic profiles (metropolitan, rural, and mixed profile). The dietary data were obtained through a validated food habit questionnaire. The data regarding health status, cohabitation unit, and social benefits were obtained through the public social services. A standardized principal component analysis was used to select the most relevant variables, by co…

Implications of Timing of Entering Adulthood for Identity Achievement
2007
Five external markers of adulthood, self-perceived adulthood at age 27, and identity achievement at ages 27, 36, and 42 were explored for 95 women and 94 men in a cohort of Finns born in 1959. Earlier transition to adulthood in family life (moving from the parental home, entering marriage or cohabitation, having a child) anticipated higher identity achievement in adulthood. However, later transition to adulthood in working life, composed of the first certification conferral, and entering a full-time job were associated with higher identity achievement. Both components correlated with the higher level and thus the length of education. Self-perceived adulthood was unrelated to the age of ach…
A segmented regression model for event history data: an application to the fertility patterns in Italy
2009
We propose a segmented discrete-time model for the analysis of event history data in demographic research. Through a unified regression framework, the model provides estimates of the effects of explanatory variables and jointly accommodates flexibly non-proportional differences via segmented relationships. The main appeal relies on ready availability of parameters, changepoints, and slopes, which may provide meaningful and intuitive information on the topic. Furthermore, specific linear constraints on the slopes may also be set to investigate particular patterns. We investigate the intervals between cohabitation and first childbirth and from first to second childbirth using individual data …
Intimate relationship and its significance for eudaimonic well-being in young adults
2020
BackgroundPrevious studies indicate that being in a relationship has a beneficial effect on the physical and mental health and also significantly affects the quality of life. One of the essential elements of the relationship is intimacy, which includes sharing experiences, support and mutual understanding, as well as respect and care for the good of the partner. Being in a relationship, the nature of this relationship (marriage vs. informal relationship) as well as the level of intimacy and the assessment of the quality of the relationship may be in relation to the personal sense of well-being. In this research we intended to estimate the significance of these variables for the sense of wel…
Ārpus laulības kopdzīves ekskluzīvais statuss tiesībās un tās tiesiskais regulējums Eiropā
2014
Anotācija: 20. gadsimta izmaiņas sabiedrības priekšstatos par iespējamo ģimenes formu radīja jaunu tiesību institūtu – ārpus laulības kopdzīvi, kas, ievērojot Eiropas atvērtās robežas un augsto migrācijas līmeni, ietekmē starptautisko un Eiropas ģimenes tiesību veidošanos. Tomēr tās regulējums dažādās jurisdikcijās ir visai atšķirīgs vai nepastāv vispār. Promocijas darbā tika vērtēti kopdzīves regulējuma ieviešanas modeļi atsevišķās jurisdikcijās, vienlaikus secinot, ka līdz šim neviens no starptautiskajiem tiesību aktiem nespēja veiksmīgi risināt kopdzīves partnera vidū radušās juridiskās problēmas. Kopdzīves regulējuma harmonizācijas pamatā ir jābūt zinātniskiem pētījumiem par kopīgām tās…
