Familias monoparentales, inclusión y comunidad
2016
Este artículo analiza las condiciones de vida y las estrategias de supervivencia y bienestar de las familias monoparentales a partir del análisis de datos cuantitativos. Un enfoque no androcéntrico nos permite analizar las condiciones de vida de estas familias incluyendo los recursos generados desde las redes sociocomunitarias y desde el ámbito doméstico, donde predominan las mujeres. Se valora, así, el trabajo de cuidados que se desarrolla en este ámbito y la forma en que estas familias lo organizan. Concluimos que el apoyo mutuo dentro de la familia monoparental, la reciprocidad y la ayuda familiar en el seno de la comunidad pueden ser estrategias de resistencia a la tendencia de la nucle…
Changes in Family Income around the Time of Birth of Children in Germany between 1985 and 2004
2010
Während der Verlauf und die Ursachen des Geburtenverhaltens intensiv erforscht wurden, sind die finanziellen Folgen einer Geburt empirisch kaum beachtet worden. Daher werden hier kurzfristige Wohlstandsveränderungen von Familien (hinsichtlich verfügbarem Haushaltseinkommen und Äquivalenzeinkommen) rund um die Geburt eines Kindes in längsschnittlicher Perspektive analysiert und auf ihre Ursachen untersucht. Zu diesem Zweck wurden die Daten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (1984-2005) mittels Fixed-Effekt-Panelregressionsmodellen analysiert. Als Ergebnis kann festgehalten werden, dass die finanziellen Folgen einer Geburt in den letzten Jahren deutlich gewachsen sind und vor allem das erste Kind…
Sense and sensibility: using a model to examine the relationship between public pre-school places and fertility
2019
This paper presents a stochastic dynamic mathematical model, in which a Family Policy Index (XFPI) is included to measure and compare two different models of provision of resources to support families with children from 0 to 3 years old. The main variables in this model are the XFPI, fertility, mortality, emigration and immigration rates. This mathematical model was validated in two different countries, Spain and Norway, during the 2007–2015 period. A sensitivity analysis was applied to simulate the future trend (2016–2030), examining the influence of providing public pre-school services (0 to 3 years) on (XISF). The results obtained show that these services may indeed have an influence on …

Combining employment and family in Europe: the role of family policies in health.
2013
Objectives: The objectives of this study were: (i) to analyse the relationship between health status and paid working hours and household composition in the EU-27, and (ii) to examine whether patterns of association differ as a function of family policy typologies and gender.
