Project
Family Formation in Comparative Perspective
Ewa Batyra, Andres Castro, Mikko Myrskylä, Julia Hellstrand, Jessica Nisén; in Collaboration with Hans-Peter Kohler (University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, USA)
Detailed Description
Family formation processes and structures are important features of human societies, and they are highly relevant for understanding fertility trends. These processes are influenced by processes of human development – socioeconomic, technological, and cultural – and at the same time affect the prospects for societal progress.
This project seeks to strengthen a global perspective on the determinants and potential consequences of continuity and change in family formation patterns through comparison of countries. Project research so far has contributed to both theoretical and empirical understandings by conducting comparative analyses of data, creating indicators, and developing methodologies to study family changes.
