  3. Funding: • Major investments • Royal Academy of Arts and Sciences • Participating institutes

  4. New research questions: • from the start • as opportunities presented themselves

  5. Three central research questions: • nature and strength of family ties, and changes over time (solidarity) • 2. differences: how to explain? • 3. differences: implications for individuals, families, and society • (questions of inequality, cohesion, modernization, • and identity)

  23. New research questions from the start Netherlands Kinship Panel Study: A multi-actor, multi-method, go to panel study go to on solidarity in family relationships

  24. Grandparents Family members in the NKPS Parent 1 Parent in-law 1 Parent in-law 2 Parent 2 Anchor (17<age<80) Sibling 1 (age>14) Current Partner Ex-partner Sibling n (age>14) Friend Sibling 3 (age>14) Children (max. 2) (age>14) Sibling2 (age>14) Child n (age>14) Grandchild Child 4 (age>14) Child 3 (age>14)

  25. Multi-actor (1) • Discrepancies in parent’s and child’s reports • (Mandemakers & Dykstra, JMF 2008) • Hypotheses: • generational stake • self-enhancement* • family obligations* • dissatisfaction* • relationship quality*

  26. Multi-actor (2) • Intergenerational transmission of kinship norms • (De Vries, Kalmijn & Liefbroer, SSR 2009) • Hypotheses (sibling model) • direct norm transmission* • socialization of obedience* • shared background back

  27. Multi-method (1) • combination CAPI / CAWI / CATI • qualitative studies supplementing quantitative • analyses

  28. Multi-method (2) • Selected topics qualitative studies • black sheep in the family • (Komter, Voorpostel & Pels, JFI 2010) • non-standard work schedules • (Mills & Täht, JMF 2010) • ethnicity and intergenerational solidarity • (Schans & Komter, JAS forthcoming) • young and late parenthood • (Rijken & Knijn, DR 2009) • etc. back

  29. * option only at later stage; ** option from the start

  30. New research questions as opportunities • presented themselves • collaboration with historians • record linkage • Generations and Gender Programme

  31. Historical Sample of the Netherlands (HSN) • life history information taken from population • registers (a.o. fertility, residential, employment) • HSN: cohorts ≤ 1922 • NKPS: cohorts ≥ 1923 • span past and present • E.g.: Long-term changes in the living arrangements • of children in the Netherlands • Van Gaalen & Van Poppel, JFI 2009

  32. Changes in privacy regulations • linkage of survey data with registry information • (via NCBS) • in wave 2: 93% of respondents provided • permission for linkage • 99% of respondents identified in registers • registry information: a.o. social security benefits, • taxable income, health care usage • E.g. Family care and public care. Schenk, Dykstra, • & Maas, A & S forthcoming

  33. NKPS: model for GGP (PAU –UNECE) • GGP is successor of Family & Fertililty Surveys • 20 countries participating at present • combination of survey and contextual data • wave 1 data currently available for 11 countries • NKPS = Dutch GGP

  34. New questions • how are interactions in families shaped • by welfare state provisions? • can our theoretical paradigms be • transplanted to Eastern Europe? • are social trends characterized by • convergence?

  35. In conclusion, the NKPS • has put Dutch family scholars on the academic map • has been a training ground for young scholars • serves as a source of information for policy makers • exemplifies that families are about both the young • and the old
