RESUMENLos cambios familiares acontecidos en España en las últimas décadas han propiciado un fructífero debate teórico y empírico sobre las nuevas formas familiares. En base a los hallazgos de los estudios internacionales sobre actitudes y valores familiares, el principal objetivo del presente trabajo es realizar una exhaustiva revisión de la literatura científica sobre los modelos familiares en España, con el fin de ofrecer una propuesta de modelos teóricos que puedan contribuir al futuro análisis empírico. El debate planteado se sustenta en la reflexión crítica sobre los fundamentos normativos que explican la coexistencia ambivalente de dos modelos familiares, por una parte, el modelo de cuidado tradicional y, por otra, el modelo de dos sustentadores (ambos trabajan y cooperan en las responsabilidades de cuidado). Dicha coexistencia se produce en un contexto social de escaso apoyo institucional al modelo más igualitario de cuidado.Palabras clave: Modelos familiares, actitudes, preferencias, expectativas, conciliación trabajo-familia. Los modelos familiares en España: reflexionando sobre la ambivalencia familiar desde una aproximación teórica.
ABSTRACT
The family changes in Spain in recent decades
This article analyzes the job satisfaction of primary school teachers in Madagascar. Based on the estimation of multilevel models, low wages and problems getting paid, job insecurity, lack of in-service training, high pupil-teacher ratios, and lack of basic infrastructure and teaching materials are identified as the main reasons for dissatisfaction. Principals' control of teachers' activities also adversely affects satisfaction, suggesting that, in Malagasy schools, neither school directors nor teachers have succeeded in adopting organizational cultures based on cooperation among their members. These results are likely to stimulate debates on educational policy, both in Madagascar and in many other developing countries.
Since the early 1990s, the diversity of work–family arrangement models has increased in Spain. It is difficult to understand this phenomenon without attending to the Spanish population’s preferences for such models. This article analyses the attitudes towards gender roles, and family model preferences within a normative and socio-structural framework. Using data from the International Social Survey Programme 2012, we developed descriptive and explanatory analyses. The findings reveal contradictions between attitudes towards the mother’s and father’s work intensity and gender roles that seem to be resolved through preferences for a “hybrid” or “adaptive” family model. We also identified the determinants of family model preferences for both men and women. The results show that gender plays a significant role in explaining preferences (women are less likely than men to prefer the male-breadwinner family model) and that socio-structural factors such as age, education level, immigrant condition, religious status and social class influence the preferences of men and women differently. Ultimately, these results contrast with Hakim’s Preference Theory, which emphasises individuals’ choices over socio-structural factors as determinants of family models, and align with Crompton’s and Pfau-Effinger’s theories.
Job stress is a serious problem for workers’ health, organizations and society. The aim of this paper is to assess the health care costs caused by the increase of health care services. Using the National Health Surveys (2006/07 and 2011/12), we have applied propensity score matching methods and microeconometric estimation in order to quantify the visits to general practitioner (GP), specialists and emergency visits due to job stress. In 2006/07 the assessment of these visits permits to conclude that the economic costs are 145.26 million € due to GP visits and emergency rooms. In 2011/12 the costs are 55.17 million € due to hospital emergencies.
