The sidelining of gender equality in a corporatist and knowledge-oriented regime : The case of failed family leave reform in Finland
2020
Reform of the family leave system has been on the Finnish political agenda for a long time but has proved to be a challenging task. The challenges relate to ideological differences between the political parties and to non-decision making in tripartite working groups, where the labour market parties participate in policy formulation. The article analyses the recent attempt to reform the Finnish family leave system under a right-conservative government (2015–2019) as an example of how diverging political ideologies and vested interests undermine adoption of government gender equality policy. The case also serves as an example of the growing influence of knowledge, and especially economic know…
Secular rise in economically valuable personality traits
2017
Although trends in many physical characteristics and cognitive capabilities of modern humans are well-documented, less is known about how personality traits have evolved over time. We analyze data from a standardized personality test administered to 79% of Finnish men born between 1962 and 1976 (n = 419,523) and find steady increases in personality traits that predict higher income in later life. The magnitudes of these trends are similar to the simultaneous increase in cognitive abilities, at 0.2-0.6 SD during the 15-y window. When anchored to earnings, the change in personality traits amounts to a 12% increase. Both personality and cognitive ability have consistent associations with famil…
Zagrożenie fonoholizmem wśród dzieci we weczesnej fazie dorastania
2019
To niesamowite, jak zmieniła się rzeczywistość i funkcjonowanie żyjących w niej ludzi, odkąd telefon komórkowy pojawił się na świecie. W chwili obecnej wielu nie wyobraża sobie własnej egzystencji bez tego wynalazku. Odnosi się to również do dzieci. Te, ze względu na nieukształtowaną jeszcze do końca strukturę swej osobowości, w największym stopniu narażone są na negatywne konsekwencje korzystania z tego medium. Rozdział zawiera wyniki badań sondażowych przeprowadzonych wśród rodziców dzieci w wieku 12-13 lat, dotyczące ilości czasu, jaki młodzi ludzie poświęcają we wczesnej fazie dorastania różnym aktywnościom związanym z telefonem. Ponadto prezentuje materiał empiryczny związany z kontrol…

Maternal parenting styles, homework help, and children’s literacy development in language minority and Finnish-speaking families
2017
The aim of this study was to examine the role of mothers’ (language minority mothers, LM, n = 49, and Finnish-speaking mothers, MP, n = 368) parenting styles and maternal help with their children’s homework in the children’s (mean age 11.43 years) literacy skills at fourth grade in Finland. In addition, the moderating effect of a child’s gender on this relationship was investigated. The results showed that the LM mothers used psychological control more than MP mothers. Furthermore, the more LM mothers used warmth and psychological styles of parenting, the more they helped their daughters, not sons, with homework. MP mothers’ parenting styles did not relate to their children’s reading and sp…
Who's Got the Power? : Young Children's Power and Agency in the Child-Parent Relationship
2015
Children’s rights and their increasing voice in families have made relations between parents and children more democratic. Despite this, child-parent relationships have been claimed to be relationships between unequals from the perspective of power. Often, power is understood as top-down with parents as wielders of power over their children and children as recipients of parental demands. The generational ordering of relations between children and adults poses the challenge of how to conceptualize power in the child-parent relationship, and how methodologically to study power and children’s agency, in particular, from the viewpoint of young children. This study explored in what ways power an…

This model of family work was part of a national development project in social and health services in Finland designed to support the well-being of Finnish families with children and further develop family services. The overall purpose of this qualitative study was to describe and analyze parents' and family professionals' experiences of this new approach to family support and working in the project. Besides describing and analyzing these experiences, the aim of the study was to identify what kinds of controversies, or tensions, and cultur…
La Concepción de María en el tiempo. Recuperación de fórmulas tempranas de representación de la Inmaculada Concepción en la retórica visual del virre…
2014
This paper addresses a genuine aspect of conceptionist visual rhetoric during the Viceroyalty of New Spain: the recycling of Immaculate Conception earlier types of representation that, with the consolidation of the image of the Immaculate derived from the Tota Pulchra, had fallen deprecated in the peninsular art. The tendency of artists and patrons towards these typologies reveals a key aspect to understand the definition of Hispanic culture during the centuries of the Baroque. In the peripheral areas of the Empire, instead of continuous affirmation of the existence of a single Hispanic world, the springs of control over the religious image allowed variability in the implementation of the C…
