16.12.2021 - YouthLife/IET Open Seminar: „Life Course Research Using the British Cohort Studies: Intergenerational Transmission of Partnership Dissolution”

You are welcomed to join us in our next open seminar on 10th January 2022 at 15:00-16:30 CET time (16:00-17:30 in Estonia, 14:00-15:30 in UK) via ZOOM when Prof Ann Berrington and Seb Stannard from University of Southampton will introduce the British Cohort Studies (the 1958 NCDS cohort; 1970 BCS70; and Millennium Cohort Study) and describe how they provide a rich opportunity for life course research.  

First, the unique insights that birth cohort studies can provide will be reviewed. In the early sweeps parents provide information on the cohort member. From around age 10 onwards the cohort member also completes questionnaires. The rich prospective nature of the data means that: researchers can identify intergenerational transmission of behaviour; can examine the link between attitudes and intentions early in the life course and later behaviour; and examine the mediators through which parental background factors are associated with outcomes in adulthood. Seb Stannard will then provide an exemplar where he has used the BCS70 to explore the intergenerational transmission of partnership dissolution paying particular attention to the early life mediators underpinning the intergenerational process. Early life mediators include family socioeconomic status, maternal mental wellbeing, child behaviour, child locus of control, child cognition, highest educational qualification and age at first partnership. Utilising longitudinal data provides the opportunity to explore the temporal sequencing of characteristics and experiences valuable for interpretation associations.

16.11.2021 - YouthLife/IET Open Seminar: „Studying the links between life transitions, SES and health behaviours using LIFELINES data”

Our next open seminar takes place on 6th December 2021 starting at 15:00 CET time via ZOOM. Prof Aart C. Liefbroer and Lluís Mangot-Sala from the Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute (NIDI) will present their work on studying the links between life transitions, socio-economic status and health behaviours using LIFELINES data.

First, Prof Aart Liefbroer will introduce the LIFELINES cohort study, that is conducted at the University of Groningen and allows for a wealth of information on changes in health and it determinants and consequences. Apart from the regular flow of data collection over a period already extending more than 10 years, a special series of panel waves have been conducted since the COVID pandemic, making this data sources extremely interesting to study developments in health in general, and during the pandemic in particular. Next, Lluís Mangot-Sala will present some of his ongoing work. In particular, he is going to present results from two different studies that aim at answering different questions within the life-course perspective. First, he will discuss how to disentangle the reciprocal association between unemployment and alcohol consumption using panel data. He will show how the combination of structural equation modelling with fixed effects models can give insights into this reciprocal association. In addition, he will present results on changes in alcohol consumption during the COVID pandemic and the extent to which household types buffered the impact of the COVID lockdown on alcohol consumption of the observed population.

10.05.2021 - YouthLife/IET Open Seminar: „Educational assortative mating and divorce“

In the next open seminar of TLU Centre of Excellence in Interdisciplinary Life-course Studies organised in cooperation with the YouthLife project, Dr Gwendolin Blossfeld from University of Bamberg will talk about educational assortative mating and divorce.

Only few studies that have estimated the net association of divorce rates with the education of both spouses and their results show contradictory effects of education on divorce. We believe that these contradictory effects of education on divorce shown in these studies might be the result of an analysis design that studies divorce risks based on the educational level of spouses without considering educational matches within particular marriages. Based on a new theoretical model, we investigate the impact of educational assortative mating on divorce. In this paper, we utilize life course data from the German National Educational Panel Study (NEPS) and apply methods of event history analysis. Our results show that there are not only benefits from division of work but also benefits from communication within married couples. The empirical results also show that the combined gains and losses of division of work and communication are different for educationally married up, homogamous or down women.

YouthLife/IET Open Seminar: „Working with large amounts of qualitative data“

On 20th April 2021, the open seminar series organised by YouthLife and the Centre of Excellence in Interdisciplinary Life-course Studies at TLU invited Prof Rosalind Edwards and Dr Susie Weller from University of Southampton to introduce the Breadth and Depth Method that they have developed with colleagues, for working with large amounts of qualitative data: primary or secondary, and snapshot or longitudinal. 

The Method is a four-step process that enables researchers to combine extensive coverage with intensive illumination, moving between the breadth of ‘big qual’ analysis and the depth of detailed qualitative engagement. Working with large amounts of qualitative data enables researchers to scope out new research questions that allow for comparison and claims to generalisability while still retaining the distinctive order of knowledge about social processes that is the hallmark of rigorous qualitative research, with its integrity of attention to nuanced context and detail. We will illustrate the Method with our research on ‘home moves’, working with transcripts from six qualitative longitudinal research projects that were merged into one dataset.

Speakers:

Rosalind Edwards is Professor of Sociology in the Department of Sociology, Social Policy and Criminology at the University of Southampton, where she is also attached to the ESRC National Centre for Research Methods. She is a Fellow of the UK Academy of Social Sciences, and a founding and co-editor of the International Journal of Social Research Methodology.

YouthLife/IET Open Seminar: "Increasing permeability of the German education system and its consequences for educational and labor market opportunities and skills in early adulthood"

In the open seminar organised by YouthLife and the Centre of Excellence in Interdisciplinary Life-course Studies at TLU held on 5th April 2021, Dr Gwendolin Blossfeld from University of Bamberg presented her paper entitled "Increasing permeability of the German education system and its consequences for educational and labor market opportunities and skills in early adulthood" followed by a lively discussion of the links between education system and labor market opportunities and skills of youth in Germany.

Today, higher education entry certificates are not only obtained via the traditional academic track (the “German Gymnasium”), but increasingly also through the institutions of second-chance education. The aim of this presentation is to describe how these two educational pathways to higher education relate to reading competencies in adulthood and the socioeconomic status at labour market entry. The results show that adults who obtained their higher education entrance qualification through the Gymnasium have a higher average reading competence than adults who have obtained this entrance qualification through the pathways of second-chance education. However, the distributions of the reading competencies in both groups strongly overlap. In addition, it becomes clear that labour market entrants, who have obtained their higher education entry certificate via the Gymnasium, have a higher average socioeconomic status at labor market entry than their peers who have obtained this entry certificate via second-chance education.

YouthLife/IET Open Seminar: „Not noisy enough? Patterns and determinants of public opinion on education Policy in Estonia”

In the open seminar of 15th March 2021 (organised by YouthLife project and the Centre of Excellence in Interdisciplinary Life-course Studies at TLU), Triin Lauri from CILCS at TLU and Kaire Põder from EBS presented their paper “Not noisy enough? Patterns and determinants of public opinion on education Policy in Estonia”.

Public opinion and its role is an important aspect in all democratic societies. The more so in the case of education which is crucial for individual life courses. Therefore, linkages between public opinion, organized interests, and policy-makers have recently caught the attention of comparative welfare analysts (Busemeyer et al. 2020) by arguing that public opinion has to be lout but noisy to have an important role in policy-making. This study aims to explain the patterns of preferences and party positions in the area of education policy to explore the degree of saliency and coherence of those. By relying on Manifesto Project Data and the educational module of ISSP 2019 panel and combining factor analysis and latent profile analysis in their empirical endeavours, the authors analyse educational preferences and their potential role in policy-making in Estonia.

YouthLife/IET Open Seminar: "Recent fertility decline and partnership dynamics in Finland: a cohort approach"

The first seminar in a series of open seminars organised in the cooperation of the YouthLife project and the Centre of Excellence in Interdisciplinary Life-course Studies at TLU was held on 22nd February 2021 and invited everyone to take part in the discussion of fertility decline and family formation patterns. First, Leen Rahnu from the Estonian Institute for Population Studies and Marika Jalovaara University of Turku presented their paper "Recent fertility decline and partnership dynamics in Finland: a cohort approach". 

As other Nordic countries, Finland has enjoyed stable, close to replacement level, completed cohort fertility. This stability seems to be broken during the past decade when Finland has witnessed a steady decline in period fertility. Women born in the 1980s are likely to have significantly lower levels of completed fertility than earlier cohorts. In this presentation, we follow childbearing and partnership transitions among Finnish women born in the 1970s, the 1980s, and the 1990s. The goal of their paper is to detect changes in the patterns of union formation, union stability and childbearing by employing longitudinal individual level register data from the period of 1987–2018 and event history methodology. The study shows that younger cohorts are postponing union formation, postponing birth within a union, and experiencing decreasing union stability. These tendencies might change the links between union formation and childbearing and potentially lead to the decline in the average number of children per women. Since the reproductive window is still open for the youngest cohort that we observe, there is space for debate whether policy interventions may help smoothen the change.
