Inhalt: In dem Beitrag untersuche ich Elternschaft im Kontext der Sorgekrise, in der Zeit und Räume für Selbst- und Fürsorge zerstört werden. In autoethnographischer Form gehe ich den Widersprüchen von Elternschaft und Erwerbstätigkeit nach. Ich setze die erfahrene (Un-)Vereinbarkeit in Zusammenhang mit neoliberalen Transformationen von Elternschaft, die als Ergebnis einer Kooption feministischer Forderungen begriffen werden können und die zu Tendenzen von Retraditionalisierung und Modernisierung führen. So eröffnen sich für manche neue Freiheiten in Bezug auf die Organisation von Re/Produktionstätigkeiten - wie das von mir mitunter gelebte "female breadwinner und male caregiver"-Modell. Gleichzeitig verschärfen neoliberale Privatisierung und Individualisierung die Sorgekrise, die insbesondere von Frauen* und Sorgebedürftigen ausgetragen wird. Mein besonderes Interesse gilt der Frage, inwiefern die Sorgekrise Möglichkeiten eröffnet, Sorgeverantwortung anders zu organisieren und emanzipatorische Praxen der Sorge zu befördern.

Inhalt: Objective: Migration rates of dual-earner couples are lower than those of male-breadwinner couples. We revisit this issue using a cross-national comparative perspective and examine heterogeneity in the role of female employment in couple relocations. We propose a theoretical framework in which national levels of support for female employment and normative expectations about gender roles act as moderators of the relationship between couple type (i.e., dual-earner and male-breadwinner) and family migration. Methods: We deploy discrete-time event history analyses of harmonised longitudinal data from four large-scale datasets from Australia, Britain, Germany, and Sweden, covering the 1992-2011 period. Results: Consistent with prior research, we find that male-breadwinner couples migrate more often than dual-earner couples in all countries, suggesting that traditional gender structures affecting family migration operate across very different contexts. We also find cross-country differences in the estimated effects of different sorts of absolute and relative partner resources on family migration. Conclusions: We take our results as preliminary evidence that national contexts can serve as moderators of the relationship between within-couple employment arrangements and family migration decisions. Contribution: Our study contributes to family migration literature by illustrating how cross-national comparisons are a valuable methodological approach to put prevailing micro-level explanations of the relationship between female employment and family migration in context.

Inhalt: Background: This article questions the demographic consequences of birth postponement in Europe. Objective: Starting from the fact that there is no obvious link between the timing of first births and fertility levels in Europe, we find that under certain circumstances, birth postponement potentially facilitates rather than impedes starting a family. Methods: We apply a synthetic cohort approach and distinguish between different socioeconomic determinants of the timing of first births by using the European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC). Data is compiled specifically to reduce endogeneity and to eliminate structure effects. Results: We find that the probability of becoming a mother is higher for women who postpone first childbirth due to education and career investment than for women who postpone due to unrealized labour market integration. Conclusions: Educated and economically active women certainly postpone first childbirth in comparison to women who are less educated and who are not working, but they end up with a higher probability of starting a family. Contribution: The article contributes to the academic discussion of circumstances that may lead to birth postponement resulting in higher fertility for younger cohorts in European countries.
