Implication

Analyzed socioeconomic disparities in multipartnered fertility across Nordic countries, indicating distinct gender differences.

Key Points

  • This research aims to understand how socioeconomic status influences multipartnered fertility in Nordic countries, particularly focusing on gender differences.
  • Analyzed data from 6421 individuals aged 45 and older from Norway, Denmark, Finland, and Sweden.
  • Employed sequential logit decomposition to assess contributions of socioeconomic differences in MPF processes.
  • Examined factors such as entry into parenthood, union dissolution, and repartnering.
  • Women with lower socioeconomic status have higher odds of experiencing multipartnered fertility.
  • Men's positive gradient into parenthood helps counterbalance the impact of negative gradient in union dissolution.
  • Union dissolution, repartnering, and fertility after repartnering collectively intensify the negative social gradient in MPF among women.
