BACKGROUNDThe second demographic transition (SDT), which links ideational changes with demographic developments, is one of the most prominent and debated theoretical frameworks in family demography. Yet, its operationalisations as composite sets of measures remain unevaluated. OBJECTIVEWe evaluate two most frequently used SDT indices: attitudinal and behavioural. We assess how strongly they have been linked to each other in the last three decades in Europe and test their consistency over time. METHODS Using four waves of the EuropeanValues Study and publicly available demographic indicators for 23 European countries, we reconstruct, update, and evaluate the SDT indices. The attitudinal index measures postmaterialism, gender-egalitarianism, and religiosity. The behavioural index includes indicators of postponement, nonmarital childbearing, marriage, and divorce. RESULTSThe correlation between the attitudinal and behavioural indices is positive, but its strength varies substantially over time. The indices' strongest correlates are indicators of postponement (demographic index) along with gender-egalitarian views and the importance of leisure (attitudinal index). Marriage and divorce rates together with attitudes towards the institution of marriage are least consistent with the indices.

The Second Demographic Transition (SDT), which links ideational changes with demographic developments, is among the most prominent and debated theoretical frameworks in family demography. Yet, the existing attempts to operationalise it as a composite set of measures remain unevaluated. We evaluate two existing SDT indices: attitudinal and behavioural. We assess how strongly they have been linked to each other in the last three decades in Europe and test their consistency over time. Using four waves of the European Values Study and publically available demographic indicators for 23 European countries, we reconstruct, update, and evaluate the SDT indices. The attitudinal index measures postmaterialism, gender-egalitarianism, and religiosity. The behavioural index includes indicators of postponement, nonmarital childbearing, marriage, and divorce. The correlation between the attitudinal and behavioural indices is positive, but its strength varies substantially over time. The behavioural index is heavily determined by age at first marriage and at first birth, and only weakly correlated with marriage and divorce rates. The internal consistency of the attitudinal index is unstable over time. The strong link between the two SDT indices is driven by a correlation between the attitudinal index and two demographic postponement measures. As the strength of the correlation varies, conclusions based on cross-national data for a single year may be misleading. We show that the ideational and demographic changes posited by the SDT should not be treated as a package. Their operationalisation should take into account their multidimensionality. To facilitate future research, we provide ready-to-use indicator and index values used in the analysis.

Abstract:We investigate partnership transitions of mothers who had no coresidential partner at the time of birth of their fi rst child ('solo mothers'). Using retrospective partnership and co-residence histories from the Czech 2005 GGS, we investigate mothers' entry into the fi rst subsequent co-residential partnership using event history methods. We test several hypotheses derived from the individualisation theory. While approximately one half of 'solo mothers' had no co-residential partner at the time they had their fi rst child, almost 50% of them did enter a co-residential partnership subsequently. The probability of transitioning into a co-residential partnership increased over cohorts. Whereas about 25% of solo mothers from the oldest cohort (fi rst child born before entered a co-residential partnership with the 20 years after having their fi rst child), in the youngest cohort the fi gure was almost two-thirds. The highest odds are among very young solo mothers. Well-educated solo mothers are more likely to remain without a co-residential partner and the effect of education increases over cohorts, perhaps refl ecting their growing ability and willingness to remain solo.
