“…These life‐course patterns vary according to individual and contextual factors. A study done in Switzerland found that married and employed young adults were more likely to contact their parents than their non‐married and unemployed counterparts; further, regions with stronger familism norms had more obligated family relationships (Bertogg, 2020). However, a Dutch study found no life‐stage differences in intergenerational filial responsibility across life‐stages in young adulthood (Bucx et al, 2010).…”

Reciprocal associations between affectual, associational, and normative solidarity with parents during children’s early to established adulthood

et al. 2021

Intergenerational solidarity has become increasingly important to understand, as close family members mobilize the provision of social support across generations and contribute to family wellbeing. However, less is known about continuity and change in normative (eldercare norms), affectual, and associational solidarity with mothers and fathers as children emerge into full or established adulthood. Therefore, we focused on reciprocal associations between three dimensions of intergenerational solidarity (normative, affectual, and associational) as reported by young‐adult children from their early twenties to late thirties. Data were derived from respondents in the Longitudinal Study of Generations: daughters reported about relationships with 291 mother–father pairs and sons reported about relationships with 309 mother–father pairs in 2000, 2005, and 2016. Autoregressive cross‐lagged models prospectively predicted mutual influences among the three dimensions of solidarity across daughter‐parent and son‐parent relationships. In addition, multiple group analysis was conducted to examine the children's gender difference. We found that normative solidarity and emotional closeness with mothers were mutually reinforcing in daughters’ and sons’ parental relationships. However, normative solidarity predicted emotional closeness with fathers in both daughter‐parent and son‐parent relationships. The study concludes that sons and daughters establish eldercare norms based on emotional components of solidarity with mothers, and suggest that filial duty is a key reason why mother‐child relations become close over the family life course.

“…Sources: a Esping- Andersen, 1990;Fenger, 2007;Ferrera, 1996; countries or unitary states may also mark important economic and cultural differences that can influence trends in the transition to adulthood, as discussed for Switzerland by Bertogg (2020).…”

“…Contrarily to country‐level factors, regional‐level factors have received little attention in the studies related to home‐leaving. To date, studies on regional patterns of the transition to adulthood have been conducted on single countries (Bertogg, 2020; Hillmert, 2005; Holdsworth, 1998; Vitali, 2010), while one study on the age deadline for leaving home has been conducted in a comparative European perspective (Aassve et al, 2013). Many structural and cultural factors that affect young adults' entry into adult life may vary widely within a single country: the number of available jobs, housing prices, the proximity to universities, family structure, but also parental norms and expectations (Vitali, 2010).…”

“…In countries such as France, Spain, Italy, and Portugal, the strength of family ties differs in the North compared to the South, shaping home‐leaving patterns accordingly (Holdsworth, 1998; Reher, 1998). Different institutional arrangements or the presence of different language groups in federal countries or unitary states may also mark important economic and cultural differences that can influence trends in the transition to adulthood, as discussed for Switzerland by Bertogg (2020). Southern and Eastern European countries display more conservative family norms compared to the rest of Europe, but within‐country differences can be noticed, for example, in Spain and in Belgium, where Andalusia and Wallonia are, respectively, more conservative than the rest of the country (Jappens & Van Bavel, 2012).…”

Leaving the parental home is a milestone in young people's transition to adulthood. The timing of leaving home varies greatly across European countries; however, evidence on the association between parental socioeconomic status (SES) and the age at leaving home in a comparative perspective is mixed, and subnational variation has received little attention. The module on the timing of life events included in Round 3 (2006) and 9 (2018) of the European Social Survey offers the opportunity to study how parental SES is associated with the age at leaving home, and how this association varies at the national and regional level for a sample of respondents born between the 1950s and the 1980s in 175 regions across 29 European countries. Results from three‐level linear regression models indicate that a high parental SES postpones women's age at leaving home in most Southern and Eastern European countries, where state support to young people is low and family ties are strong, whereas the association between parental SES and the age at leaving home is less clear‐cut in Western and Nordic countries. Between‐country variation in the association between parental SES and the age at home‐leaving prevails over within‐country variation, suggesting that the role of the parental background is country‐specific and that other unobserved factors may explain within‐country heterogeneity.

“…In Esping-Andersen’s (1990) theory on welfare capitalism , there is a suggested threefold typology of social democratic, conservative, and liberal welfare state regimes. Previous life course research has shown the importance of political, economic, and cultural characteristics when researching emerging adults’ life course development from a comparative perspective ( Bertogg, 2020 ). Therefore, life course research may incorporate the work of Esping-Andersen when examining generalized sociopolitical and economic influences in life course development, as seen in the works of Buchmann and Kriesi (2011) , Möhring (2016) and Stier et al (2001) .…”

Income and Career Concerns Among Emerging Adults From Finland, Sweden, and the United Kingdom During COVID-19

et al. 2023

In this study, we examine the prevalence of income and career concerns among emerging adults in three different welfare states during COVID-19: Finland ( n = 309), Sweden ( n = 324), and the United Kingdom ( n = 343). This study also delves into how factors such as one’s self-perceived financial situation, generalized mistrust, loneliness and socio-demographics are related to emerging adults’ income and career concerns. Results showed that individuals from the United Kingdom were more likely to experience increased income and career concerns than those in Finland and Sweden. Our results also suggest that income concerns were associated with one’s current financial situation, future financial situation, childhood financial situation, and loneliness. Also, career concerns were related to generalized mistrust, loneliness, and age. For both country-specific and general analyses, loneliness emerged as the most important for increased income and career concerns for emerging adults in all three countries.
