“…Recent decades have witnessed some emerging patterns that point in the direction of greater gender equality. They include important improvements in women's education and attachment to the labour force; the weakening of the figure of the male provider (Luxán et al, 2000); the inclusion of gender equality principles in law (Valiente, 1995) and in some elements of the expansion of the welfare state (Guillén, 1992;Sarasa and Moreno, 1995); and the relaxation of traditional family hierarchies (Valero and Lence, 1995). However, these changes have been very partial, and the traditional gender order is still to a large extent in place (González et al, 2000).…”

In this paper we investigate (1) the mutual causal relationship between first union formation and first childbirth, and (2) the existence of constant common determinants of these two events. It is argued that (unmeasured) common factors reflect differentials among the population in value orientations and in norms about the sequencing of events. We apply event history techniques to retrospective survey data for Spain, allowing for the correlation between unobserved heterogeneity components belonging to each process. Our findings confirm the strong interrelationship between union formation and first birth. After controlling for these common factors, we find that the risk of conception increases immediately at marriage, and it continues to be high during the following four years. Entry into cohabitation produces much smaller increases in the relative risk. The effect of the conception of the first child on union formation is especially strong during pregnancy, but declines sharply after delivery.

“…Although the traditional male breadwinner/female homemaker family model has been substantially eroded (Luxán et al 1998), and most women (and men) endorse the dual-earner family model, progress in the reallocation of unpaid housework and care responsibilities within the family has been slow. Women's earnings potential is expected to increase their bargaining power at home.…”

“…Estos cambios se han descrito y examinado a profundidad en la teoría de la segunda transición demográfica (van de Kaa, 1987;lesthaeghe, 1991). Junto con estas transformaciones se ha dado un movimiento hacia roles de género más equilibrados dentro de las parejas: las mujeres han adoptado una nueva posición gracias al incremento en sus niveles de escolaridad y su entrada masiva al mercado laboral (luxán, Miret y Treviño, 1999;Domínguez y Castro, 2008).…”

“…Este cambio de actitud no sólo reduce las posibilidades de formar parejas complementarias, también puede cambiar la naturaleza de las relaciones ya establecidas. En este contexto particular el modelo de pareja complementaria ha sido reemplazado por un modelo de doble ingreso, que supone una distribución más igualitaria entre cónyuges (luxán, Miret, Treviño, 1999). Como establece Oppenheimer (1997), "la estrategia del doble ingreso" aparece como la primera opción dentro de un contexto del mercado laboral en donde la estabilidad es limitada.…”

En este artículo se analiza la condición de doble ingreso de las parejas como una manera de observar las relaciones de género en el caso particular de las uniones mixtas en el contexto de la creciente presencia de inmigrantes internacionales en España. Para ello se ha considerado simultáneamente la posición de esos hombres y mujeres inmigrantes en los mercados laboral y matrimonial. Con datos de la Encuesta de Población Activa de España para el segundo trimestre de 2007, se analizan la homogamia conyugal y las situaciones ocupacionales de los cónyuges. Las parejas se clasifican distinguiendo si ambos cónyuges están empleados o sólo uno de ellos lo está. Se aplican métodos de análisis multivariado para determinar la probabilidad de los diferentes tipos de uniones de tener uno o doble ingreso. Se realizan análisis diferenciados según la región de origen de los cónyuges inmigrantes (latinoamericanos, europeos occidentales, europeos orientales y magrebíes).En un contexto de aumento de los matrimonios mixtos y de expansión del modelo de doble ingreso en las parejas, los principales resultados revelan que en las uniones mixtas es más frecuente que los cónyuges sean mayores, y que hay una elevada heterogamia educativa; muestran asimismo que la probabilidad de un doble ingreso depende del origen de los cónyuges. Es decir, que las uniones mixtas son más o menos igualitarias en términos de género (dependiendo del sexo y el origen del cónyuge) que las uniones que los españoles están formando en la actualidad. AbstractThis article analyzes the condition of dual earner couples as a means of observing gender relations in the specific case of mixed unions within the context of the growing presence of international immigrants in Spain. To this end, the authors have simultaneously considered the position of these immigrant men and women in the labor and marriage markets. Using data from the Survey on the Active Population in Spain for the second quarter of 2007, they analyze conjugal homogamy and the occupational status of the spouses. Couples are classified according to whether both spouses are employed or only one. Multivariate methods of analysis are used to determine the probability that the different types of unions will have a single or double income. Differentiated analyses are undertaken according to the region of origin of the immigrant spouses (Latin Americans, West Europeans, East Europeans and Maghrebis).In a context of an increasing number of mixed marriages and the expansion of the double income model in couples, the main results show that in mixed unions, spouses are likely to be older and that there is a wide range of educational attainment. The likelihood of a double income also depends on the origin of the spouses. In other words, mixed unions are more or less equal in terms of gender (in terms of the spouse’s sex and origin) to the unions currently being formed by Spaniards.
