FamIne

 

 

 

 

 

The FamIne project investigates the change in social and economic inequalities associated with the new welfare-work-family equilibria emerging over the recent decades. It does so in a strict international comparison, following an interdisciplinary approach among sociology, economy and demography.

It focuses, among other,  on the following aspects:

  • changing in women’s labour market and fertility behaviour
  • labour market risks
  • families’ capacities to compensate for (increasing market) risks
  • the consequences of these developments for social and economic life time inequalities in European societies

The aim of the project is to show how the new welfare-work-family (dis)equilibria may come with serious consequences for European societies and their capacity to fully integrate their populations, assuring decent employment conditions, adequate social rights and full social participation.

Of substantial interest hereby is the life time inequality as a potential menace to equity and social cohesion.

Project

The starting point: some important changes

A number of changes in families and employment patterns challenge the conventional view of the welfare, work and family nexus underlining how they can no longer be considered as relatively separate spheres.

Families

The increased female labour market participation comes with considerable changes for families and the work-family equilibria, such as:

  • the (re-)emergence of different types of households and their pluralisation,
  • the increasing importance of the work-family interface,
  • and – presumably – also changes in the inequality (re-) distributing capacities of families.

National welfare states play an important role: the search for new work-family equilibria, within different welfare arrangements, bring new challenges. These changes also make it difficult to sustain the current policy/welfare assumptions based on the traditional model of two stable parents and a net division between a male breadwinner and a female housekeeper.

The developments in families also include profound demographic changes, most prominently, the overall decline in fertility rates. Literature show that a work career does not necessarily represent a burden for women’s entry into maternity (and vice versa) but the reconciliation of work and family choices is heavily affected by the institutional features of the welfare, labour market and family nexus, dramatically different across countries.

Labour market

The second institution that underwent considerable changes is the labour market. As the risks tied to the fact of being inserted in a secondary labour market are concentrated on specific groups in the society, they potentially create (additional) cleavages of social inequality and menace social cohesion and social integration. In most countries, flexibilisation concentrated particularly on the younger generations, typically in their reproductive age.  Thus, the increased market insecurity impacts on several aspects:

  • individual employment careers and economic insecurity
  • the family formation process
  • and the chances families can provide to offspring.

Therefore it seems particularly relevant to show how individuals and families develop strategies to adapt to these changes.

The outlined developments show that the net division between work and family is out of date. It is not possible to study the labour market without taking into account households and families or vice versa; therefore it is indispensable to systematically link micro, meso and macro level.

The aim of this project

Our contribution

The aim of this project is to understand the impact of the new work-family equilibria, the changes in the distribution of household types and employment forms on the inequalities structure of European societies, such as the life time inequalities and the risk concentration on specific subgroups.

Studying inequalities income or economic wellbeing obviously play an important role, but the economic dimension is not the only relevant one. We thus include domains typically excluded from conventional discussion about the distribution of economic resources among individuals and households, as the subjective satisfaction and social integration aspects.

Beyond the descriptive approach towards inequality, the project investigates the structural base of different inequalities, implying processes of social stratification (that is inequality of a structured kind), since inequality (for instance understood as the access to more favourable situation) is inherent in prevailing forms of social relations that have some degree of institutional base. We look at specific inequalities like gender or cohorts, and “overarching” inequalities like education or class that are those most crucially limiting individual’s ability to realize their full human potential. 

A specific contribution of this project lies in the systematic integration of topics often studied separately, concentrating especially on the intersection between welfare, work and family and the impact on social and economic inequality. Important here is the systematic consideration of the family/household as decision context. Although it is true that the underlying processes have to be understood at the individual level, it is equally true that individuals cannot be conceptualized as isolated actors, but are in fact embedded in a social context, most importantly their family in which resources are bundled and reallocated. The project follows this line of reasoning and studies stratification processes (also) on an household/family level.

The amount and stratification of inequality in a society strongly depends on state intervention. The project therefore addresses micro and macro processes generating and shaping the (old and new) forms of social inequality focusing precisely on Market, State and Family. A more consistent international comparative prospective over time allows to centre on institutional and social policy differences between countries. Cross national variation helps to identify the nationally rooted role of institutions for the inequality; the comparison over time accounts for developments and its consequences in these institutions over time. 

Methodologically, this research proposes a systematic Micro-Meso-Macro link, taking into account individuals aggregated in families within specific institutional settings, i.e. nations. The fundamental role of both social structure and institutions (macro level) and the socio-economic situation of the family (meso level) to understand life chances and overall socio-economic inequality in societies has been underlined - an argumentation well founded in the theoretical work. The research design (ideally) plans an international comparison covering all western European Countries over a time span from the 1980s onwards combining individual level data with partner information and household level data. Given that the availability and comparability of data do not correspond to the ideal, the project will provide large country comparisons based on EU comparative databases but also investigate detailed research questions for single countries or in specific country comparisons, concentrating on few country cases.

The organization of the project

Three workpackages

To treat these relatively complex topics, the project is articulated in three interrelated work packages. The first, WP1, focuses on the changing work-family equilibria, specifically on the interlinkage between employment and family decisions, on increasingly unstable employment careers and on changes in family formation. This perspective brings into focus the WP2 on family capacities to compensate - or not - for increasing market and social risks. In WP3 the consequences of changing work-family equilibria for the inequalities between families/households and the overall rising inequality in post industrial European societies in recent decades is assessed.

WP1: Changing work-family equilibria

The increasing female labour market participation in European countries over recent decades has been paralleled by a sharp decline in fertility rates. As it is, citizens are having less children than they wish, and the demographic equilibrium of societies is at risk.

Consequently, there appears to be a trade-off between work and childbearing, as women either limit their fertility in order to accommodate their labour force activity or adjust their labour force behaviour to their fertility choices. Since the mid 1980s, however, there is a positive macro level correlation between female workforce participation and fertility rates: women have more children where they can combine work and family. A detailed investigation at the micro level, and the role that social policies play, is still lacking.
Further, the growth of insecure, “non-standard” employment has raised concerns that the “new” flexible jobs may crowd out more stable employment, becoming an additional source of insecurity for workers and their families. Only recently research on labour markets has developed interest in the consequences for family formation and fertility decisions. The increased labour market deregulation leading to increased instability of employment careers especially among households in the reproductive years, is supposed to represent a menace for fertility. The idea is that long-term commitments like marriage or parenthood require some stability and a secure economic basis. Increased uncertainty, however, is not unavoidable but may be mediated by different types of institutional contexts: the kind of labour market deregulation, the nature and generosity of the welfare system, the specific nature of family arrangements and family policies are among them.
The main objective, therefore, is to provide a more detailed investigation of the work-family interface with systematic consideration of the household situation in a longitudinal perspective. What are the mechanisms behind the formation of  “new” families, changing household typologies and their diversity in international comparison? The systematic cross national description of a household typology (double income households with no kids, singles, no income households….) is the first step. But it is not sufficient to study the underlying dynamics. Therefore, the analysis of life courses and the detailed sequencing of events are important. The project intends to investigate both directions: on one side the effects of the employment situation, including detailed information on the contractual situation and the kind of employment, on family formation and fertility decisions; and the effects of fertility events on the employment behavior on the other side. Of interest is especially the extent to which the increasing flexibilisation or even precarisation of employment careers and the combined economic insecurity contribute to declining fertility and family instability, across different institutional contexts. The economic and employment household situation of the household should be particularly important with regard to fertility events, as - one supposes - they require two people. Thus, characteristics of both the adult partners are important.
 

WP2: The role of the family for risk coping: accumulation of risks or compensation?

 When investigating the consequences of the growth of individuals’ risks - such as career and economic insecurity - it is fundamental to consider that individuals are usually grouped in families or households. Also at the beginning of the third millennium the family remains an important source of welfare and maintains its fundamental role in generating social inequality by providing their members with different resources. Considering this, two possible scenarios emerge. The first, positive one puts the risk compensation capacity of families in the forefront. The second, more pessimistic scenario rather sees the accumulation of risks on the household level. Which of the two prevails depends not least on how people are combined in households. Literature on household employment patterns revealed that the increase in dual earner households led to an increasing cleavage between working-poor and working-rich households supporting the more pessimistic scenario of risk accumulation, though results depend on the precise national context.
We ask, considering the employment situation of the household, whether the household/family has the capacity to compensate for certain risks, most importantly of involuntary non employment or precarious employment, or if patterns of risk accumulation prevail. Does precariousness come in couples or can its negative effects on the family level be cushioned by a partner providing a stable income – if there is any partner? Existing research points towards an importance of the specific welfare situation of the country. Thus, what determines families’ capacities to positively cope with “new” and old risks and how does this depend on education and the family of origin? Certain risks burden almost exclusively on the younger cohorts and the older ones accumulate much of the wealth. Does this lead to an increasing importance of the intergenerational transfers?
 

WP3: The consequences for social and economic inequalities between families

 These outlined developments (increasing female labour market participation, changes in household types, declining fertility, marital instability, increasing employment and economic insecurity) come – presumably – with considerable changes in the inequality structure in contemporary societies. So far  little is known about it. We argue that the family/household constitutes the most adequate unit of analysis and therefore that the inequality between households must come to the forefront.
Inequality between households can be thought of as the product of two processes: the way in which resources are distributed among individuals, and the way in which individuals with different endowments are grouped in households. Thus, changes in the sorting of individuals with certain characteristics in households and changes in the distribution of households due to changes in individual’s behaviour may lead to changed inequality structure of societies. Increased similarity between partners could tend to further exacerbate the growing degree of inequality. Thus, while on the one hand, the increased (potential) resource pooling can contribute to an overall polarisation between households, on the other hand the additional women labour supply can have in fact an overall positive effect, because women's earnings make an important contribution towards keeping families out of poverty. To the extent that the well-being of children is enhanced by living in economically stable families, this will have consequences for coming generations.
We ask to what extent the developments of household types impact on the social and economic inequality within societies. Is the inequality between households/families increasing due to changes in the employment behaviour of women? What are the consequences of the increasing share of single-headed households? How does fertility behavior, stratified by education, contribute to the situation? Did families lose their welfare function? Again, the welfare state may have an important capacity to intervene, redistribute and limit inequality.
A surge in inequality shall influence not only the distribution of living standards today but also the opportunity structure for subsequent generations. The more unequal family income is, the greater the inequalities in parental investment in their children. Against this backdrop it is important to identify more precisely how recent changes affect the inequality structure. Not without reason, more equal countries usually perform much better.
However, the theoretical writings on these topics seem to be much more straightforward than the empirical reality suggests. It is still open to discussion whether and in which specific institutional context certain trends lead to increasing inequalities. The project will carefully investigate the empirical evidence supporting or not the arguments present in the literature.
