Research with regard to changes in partnership formation has been hampered by a lack of comparative data. The Family and Fertilify Stirveys (FFS) programme ofthe 1990s provided evidence from eight countries ofthe region, but due to the timing of data collection, (in the majorify of Eastem European countries, the surveys were completed by 1995), a detailed analysis of the emerging pattems had to be postponed until the following round of comparative surveys. These were undertaken in the mid-2000s within the framework ofthe Generations and Gender (GGS) programme, and in recent years, an increasing number of studies, of individual countries as well as comparative, have examined trends in partnership formation in the region (

This article analyses the demographic and social determinants of repartnering after divorce in four Baltic and Central European transition countries (Estonia, Lithuania, Poland, and Hungary), which, despite their common transition paths after the 1990s, developed distinct political economies and have different gender and family cultures. The article explores how the re-partnering chances of divorced women and men are shaped by the social divisions of gender, parenthood, age, and education within various transition-society contexts. In general, the fi ndings support the argument about the relevance and mediating role of the societal context in the process of re-partnering. Although we found an overall gender disadvantage in re-partnering across all countries, in more traditional contexts, parenthood undermines the chances of re-partnering for women but not for men. The negative effect of older age for re-partnering after divorce is almost universal for men, but is context-sensitive for women. Education does not affect women's chances of re-partnering, but it does play a signifi cant role in the attractiveness of men in more traditional settings. The analysis is based on the partnership and parenthood histories recorded in the Generations and Gender Survey.

Although the attention scholars have paid to the question of how the involvement of fathers affects the well-being of their children in post-separation families has increased tremendously in recent years, the question of how fathers’ involvement affects their own well-being has been hardly examined. Using data from the cross-sectional survey “Fathering after Union Dissolution,” which was conducted in Lithuania in 2016 (N = 1225), we looked at the extent to which the involvement of fathers with their non-resident children (contact frequency, relationship quality, payment of child support, and the quality of the co-parenting relationship with the mother) was associated with their psychological well-being (depressive feelings and general life satisfaction). Our multiple regression results indicated that the self-assessed quality of the father’s relationship with the child was the most important factor contributing to paternal psychological well-being: i.e., the better the relationship quality, the less likely a father was to report having depressive feelings, and the more likely he was to report having a high level of general life satisfaction. However, while making regular child support payments was found to be associated with a lower likelihood of having depressive feelings, it was not shown to be associated with having a high level of general life satisfaction. Contrary to our expectations, we found that the frequency of contact with the non-resident child and the quality of the co-parenting relationship with the mother did not affect paternal psychological well-being. Accordingly, we concluded that the protection provided by involved fatherhood after union dissolution is not universal, but instead depends on the nature of the involvement.

ĮvadasŠio straipsnio tikslas -atskleisti vienų motinų su nepilnamečiais vaikais (iki 18 metų amžiaus) šeimų paplitimą Lietuvoje, šio tipo šeimų dalį tarp visų ir šeiminių namų ūkių, nustatyti pagrindines sociodemografines ir socioekonomines charakteristikas remiantis 2011 m. Lietuvos gyventojų ir būstų surašymo informacija. Nors, kaip rodo įvairūs atrankiniai tyrimai, minėto tipo šeimos susiduria su didesne skurdo rizika (Gyventojų pajamos ir gyvenimo sąlygos 2013), įvairiais aspektais patiria socialinę atskirtį (Maslauskaitė 2015), stokojama tikslios informacijos apie šių šeimų struktūrinius ir socialinius ekonominius ypatumus. Daugelio atrankinių tyrimų duomenys yra esminiu būdu riboti dėl per mažo į imtį patenkančio atvejų skaičiaus. Tad šiame straipsnyje pristatomi rezultatai, gauti analizuojant visos populiacijos lygmens informaciją, įveikia minėtus ribotumus ir papildo empirines žinias apie Lietuvos šeimas, kuriose vaikus augina vienos motinos. Paminėtina ir tai, kad straipsnio rezultatai gauti nagrinėjant ne agreguotus, bet individu-

Lytis, globa ir kultûriniai gerovës kapitalizmo barjerai LietuvojeStraipsnio tikslas -aptarti kultûrinius barjerus, kurie gali átakoti gerovës kapitalizmo, užtikrinanèio lygias lyèiø galimybes, sukûrimo galimybes Lietuvoje ir sumažinti teisiniø bei struktûriniø socialinës lyèiø politikos veiksmø sëkmae.Straipsnyje teigiama, kad gerovës kapitalizmui bûtina ne tik politinë valia, struktûriniai iðtekliai, bet ir modernios lyèiø tapatybës, kurios abiems lytims tolygiau paskirto praktines ir emocines globos užduotis. Modernios lyèiø tapatybës užkerta kelià moters marginalizacijai visuomenëje, sukuria prielaidas visapusiškai jos socialiniø teisiø realizacijai, o globos institucionalizacijos priemonës veiksmingai átakoja lyèiø lygybae. Remiantis sociologinës apklausos rezultatø analize teigiama, kad kultûrinës lyèiø tapatybës Lietuvoje atkartoja patriarchalinius modelius, todël kuriant gerovës kapitalizmà bûtina reikiamà dëmesá skirti ne tik struktûriniams, bet ir kultûriniams veiksniams.
