背景技术背景：以往的研究表明，在一些国家，家庭组成方面的社会经济差异具有很强的性别特征，而在另一些国家则报告了不分性别的模式。大多数以前的研究集中在单一的事件，因此，它是不清楚的性别差异和中立性在家庭过渡联合收割机组合成变化，在较长的家庭形成轨迹。目的：我们探讨家庭轨迹如何因教育程度和性别而异。这项研究询问了受教育程度不同的家庭轨迹是否存在性别差异。我们关注的是芬兰18至39岁的女性和男性的轨迹，以及1969年和1970年的出生队列。这些轨迹包括通过同居和婚姻的形成和解除以及第一个孩子的出生而进入的状态。方法：我们给出了一个序列表示的芬兰注册数据，包括每月的历史，工会动态和生育。我们专注于家庭国家的数量和顺序。结果如下：我们发现受教育程度的家庭轨迹显着差异，但是，教育群体内的轨迹的性别差异是微不足道的。例如，39岁时从未有过伴侣和没有子女的人在教育程度低的人中所占比例最大，无论性别如何。此外，在39岁时，受过高等教育的妇女和男子最有可能生活在他们第一次成为父母的同一个联盟中。出资额：这项研究增加了以往的文献表明，在一个平等主义的北欧福利国家，纵向的家庭形成轨迹是高度分层的教育，但显着的性别中立。Language：en
BACKGROUND: Previous studies suggest that in some countries socioeconomic differences in family formation are highly gendered, whereas gender-neutral patterns are reported in other countries. Most previous studies focus on single events and therefore it is unclear how the gender differences and neutralities in family transitions combine into variation in longer family-formation trajectories. Objective: We explore how family trajectories vary by educational attainment and gender. The research asks whether there are gender differences in family trajectories by education. We focus on the trajectories of women and men in Finland between the ages of 18 and 39, and on the 1969 and 1970 birth cohorts. The trajectories consist of states entered via the formation and dissolution of cohabitation and marriage and the birth of the first child. Methods: We give a sequence representation of Finnish register data comprising monthly histories of union dynamics and childbearing. We focus on the number and order of family states. Results: We find notable differences in family trajectories by educational attainment; however, the gender differences in the trajectories within educational groups are negligible. For instance, the proportion of never-partnered and childless at age 39 is largest among those with low education, regardless of gender. Further, at age 39, highly educated women and men are most likely to live in the same union in which they became first-time parents. Contribution: This study adds to previous literature by showing that in an egalitarian Nordic welfare state, longitudinal family-formation trajectories are highly stratified by education but remarkably gender-neutral.
