[The plural family in a rural African environment. An example of plantation economy: the Dayes plateau in Southwest Togo].

"Study of the transition to a plantation economy in populations on the Dayes plateau (SW Togo) shows the progressively preponderant role of the domestic group. Responsibility for production, for continuity of the labour force and for the demographic continuity of groups which used to be held by lineal authorities is now exercised at [the] domestic unit level. Although this results in greater autonomy for women, it also results in radical changes in the marriage rate. The loss of control of lineal structures over marriages appears to have led to increasing conjugal instability to link in particular with the number of unmarried couples. The authors carry out a comparative study of autochthonous groups (Ahlon and Ewe) and an immigrant group (Kabye) and study the consequences of this situation with regard to both demography and family structures. They show that autochthonous and immigrant groups are interdependent in the forming of demographic structures and report that there are many family models, essentially in the autochthonous population."

[Families in France and Sweden: the search for new models].

"Examination of the evolution of family models in France and Sweden reveals many similar trends: increase in the divorce rate, fall in marriage and fertility rates, decrease in the size of the average family, increase in the number of single parent families, diversity of rearranged households, etc. However, the authors stress the extent to which the historical and ideological context of this evolution is different in the two countries. Whereas new conjugal models are diffused rapidly in Sweden without provoking reactions of rejection, a certain ideology in France recommends an ideal of conjugal stability and demands a policy openly favouring an increased birth rate. The Swedes find contraception and abortion natural whereas they are still the subject of impassioned debates in France. The attitude to children is very different in the two countries. However, in both cases, although the evolution of family ties still has an experimental aspect it seems sufficiently radical to make it necessary to rethink the nature of social ties in general."

Remarriage among women in the United States: 1985.

"This paper has presented a description of recent trends in remarriage for women in the United States.... The focus has been on who is most likely to remarry among women whose first marriage ends in divorce or widowhood.... The major findings in the paper indicate that remarriage is much more likely after divorce than after widowhood and that while characteristics like age, race, Hispanic origin, education, and presence of children have some role in determining remarriage prospects, age at divorce or widowhood exerts an overriding influence on the likelihood of remarriage."

[In and out of wedlock. An empirical study on changing attitudes toward marriage and parenthood].

"The theory of 'individualization' offers a useful framework for understanding the present changes in partnerships, marriage, and parenthood.... This paper presents results of a 'qualitative' study which, in addition to a general trend towards individualization, reveals differences according to socio-regional milieus. These differences are reflected in four areas: cohabitation, marriage, the conflict between parenthood and career, and sex roles within partnerships.... The observed trends support the notion that the future will bring a polarization of life styles: a family-oriented and an individualized style." The geographical focus is on Germany.
