“…At the same time, it is important to mitigate the risk of labour market uncertainties for the long run since it is necessary for higher employment rates and in consequence it may induce the increase of TFR. In a society where there are contrasts between conventional and alternative behaviors, as was stated by Klärner and Knabe (2017), it is most likely that such conflicts may cause many individuals to repeat traditional patterns and reflect upon traditional models. These explicit implications could be also explained by the fact that demographic transition in Turkey is still incomplete.…”

“…Citing the Giddens' theory of structuration, from 2013, Klärner and Knabe (2017) point out that the reproduction of a society takes place mainly through the certain repeating of traditional behavioral patterns, and modification processes may occur when there are contrasts between conventional and alternative behaviors. These scholars note that such conflicts may cause individuals to reflect upon traditional models.…”

Impact of unemployment by sex and marriage rate on fertility decline: Estimates for Turkey and Greece using CCR model

The article analyses the effect of unemployment by sex and marriage rate on fertility changes in Greece and Turkey. The empirical part of the study is based on annual time series data retrieved from the World Bank and National Statistical Offices of Turkey and Greece for 1991–2019. Canonical Cointegrating Regression model is applied for the two countries separately, allowing to quantify the effects of the determinants (crude marriage rate and unemployment rate by sex) on the variation of fertility rate. CCR models show these determinants to be the most significant factors of fertility dynamics in both countries. The results from Engle-Granger and the Phillips-Ouliaris tau (t-statistics) tests confirm the cointegration, i.e., long-term relationship between the variables only for Turkey’s CCR model. However, it was found that in Greece, female unemployment impacts fertility rate negatively and male unemployment has a positive effect on fertility rate; for Turkey modelling shows the opposite relationship. The results of the study suggest that economic uncertainties might be one of the factors contributing to fertility decline in these countries, long-term or in the coming years.

“…Because we also want to investigate respondents who live in a household without a partner, we do not take a couple perspective, but rather analyse male and female individuals separately. We excluded respondents residing in the eastern part of the country (except Berlin) because eastern and western Germans still differ in their partnership behaviors (Klärner and Knabe, 2017 ), and because most immigrants of Turkish origin migrated to western Germany and Berlin and continue to live there (Destatis, 2019d ).…”

Partnership Living Arrangements of Immigrants and Natives in Germany

This paper compares the partnership arrangements of Turkish and Ethnic German immigrants (i.e., return migrants from Ethnic German communities from predominantly Eastern European countries), the two largest migrant groups in Germany, and native Germans. Most existing analyses of migrants' partnerships focus on intermarriage, marriage formation, or union dissolution. We know only a little, however, about the prevalence of non-marital living arrangements. Given that single person households and cohabitation are widespread phenomena mainly in post-materialist societies, analyzing whether immigrants engage in these behaviors sheds light on potential adaptation processes. The analyses are based on the German Microcensus of the years 2009 and 2013, with a focus on adults in the 18–40 age group. First, we present descriptive findings on the prevalence of partnership arrangements of immigrants and native Germans. Second, we estimate cross-sectional regressions with the partnership arrangement as the outcome variable in order to control for compositional differences between immigrant groups with respect to education. Our results show that while the vast majority of first-generation immigrants are married, the share of married natives is considerably smaller. Living in an independent household without a partner and cohabitation are rare phenomena among immigrants. By contrast, about one in seven natives is cohabiting and more than one quarter is living in an independent household without a partner. The most prevalent partnership living arrangement of the Turkish second generation is living in the parental household without a partner. These results are robust after controlling for education, age, and year in the multiple regression analysis.

“…In post-communist countries like Poland, research results presented by Klärner andKnabe (2017, p. 1637) are relevant: "the harmonization of family laws and policies across Germany after 1990 did not automatically lead to a convergence in the norms and behaviors of the people living in these two regions". Diverse values continue to influence behavioral patterns as a consequence of turbulent socio-economic changes that have triggered a replacement of materialistic values with post-materialistic, postmodern, or individualistic values.…”

“…Diverse values continue to influence behavioral patterns as a consequence of turbulent socio-economic changes that have triggered a replacement of materialistic values with post-materialistic, postmodern, or individualistic values. Therefore, at present, habitual marriage cannot be regarded to be an absolute and evident unit (Klärner & Knabe, 2017, pp. 1640-1641.…”

Trends in young consumers’ behaviour - implications for family enterprises

The attractiveness of young consumer segments from the perspective of family enterprises (FE) is in question. Although young buyers' mindset toward FE is generally positive, there are certain trends in their behaviour which need to be recognised by FE. Moreover, there is little research on the existing and potential buyers of goods offered by FE, and the theme of young consumers in this context has not been addressed in the literature. Thus, the major aim of this paper is to initiate a discussion about trends in young consumers' behaviour, considering the FE's perspective. The study focuses on explicit trends in behaviour which can be favourable to FE and those which require an inventive approach from FE. The findings come from contemporary trends analysis, latent participant observation, individual indepth interviews and a quantitative survey of a representative sample of 1091 buyers. The study identifies, inter alia, dynamics in young people's perception of family and posits that unduly conservative FE might be treated as relics of the past. These findings are critical for marketers' re-evaluation of current FE campaigns. With a better understanding of consumer perceptions of FE, marketing messages can be developed and evaluated for effectiveness in connecting with young consumers by understanding their latest trends and related perceptions of FE. Although FE may be considered inherently traditional, young consumers' current conceptualization of tradition in FE is critical for today's marketers. The specific contribution of this study is the recommendations it addresses to FE in Poland based on a framework of consumers' attitudes, beliefs, and values. These recommendations may be extended internationally, as youth have become much more aligned globally.
