    La evolución de las normas sociales relativas a las transiciones familiares en España
    (RES: Revista Española de Sociología, 2022) Seiz, Marta; Castro-Martín, Teresa; Cordero Coma, Julia; Martín García, Teresa
    La sociedad española ha sido testigo de profundas transformaciones en las trayectorias familiares que han seguido distintas generaciones. Las dos primeras décadas del siglo XXI se han caracterizado por la importancia decreciente del matrimonio, el notable aumento de la convivencia y de los nacimientos al margen del matrimonio, y una fecundidad muy baja asociada en buena medida al retraso del primer hijo. La mayoría de los estudios previos han abordado estos cambios en el comportamiento demográfico poniendo el foco en condiciones estructurales. Este trabajo explora, comparando dos olas de la Encuesta Social Europea (2006/07 y 2018/19), si en paralelo se ha producido una transformación de valores respecto a el calendario y las secuencias de formación familiar. Los resultados confirman una flexibilización de las normas relacionadas con la edad ideal para la cohabitación, el matrimonio y el nacimiento del primer hijo, así como una mayor aceptación social de decisiones reproductivas y de convivencia no tradicionales. Los cambios son particularmente evidentes entre las mujeres de las generaciones más jóvenes.

    HIV Prevention and Social Desirability: Husband –Wife Discrepancies in Reports of Condom Use
    (Journal of Marriage and Family, 2012) Cordero Coma, Julia; Breen, Richard
    Resumen: Greater use of condoms within marriage would help limit the spread of HIV in sub-Saharan Africa. Using data from the Malawi Diffusion and Ideational Change Project (MDICP), the authors examined the influence that the fidelity norm and the traditional association between marriage and reproduction have on condom use with a spouse. The sample included 749 married couples. The authors used latent class analysis to estimate a "true," or latent measure of condom use by couples based on the individual reports of husbands and wives and to explore the reasons why individuals tend to misreport their use of condoms. They found that married couples with more children were more likely to use condoms and that having been informed by experts about AIDS prevention at home induced men and women to overreport condom use within marriage in a survey but may not necessarily increase the extent to which condoms are used.

    Intensity of educational expansion: a key factor in explaining educational inequality across regions and cohorts in Spain.
    (European Sociological Review, 2024) Manzano Espinosa, Dulce Nombre; Cordero Coma, Julia; Valdés Fernández, Manuel Tomás
    Resumen: Previous sociological research has indirectly examined the association between educational expansion and inequality by analysing changes in inequality over cohorts during the expansion process. This study tests the impact of educational expansion in Spain by using the proportion of people with a specific level of education in a particular region cohort as a direct measure of expansion. More importantly, this study focuses on the intensity of the expansionary process (of one level of education) as a crucial dimension that influences inequality (in the attainment of the next level). We argue that an intense expansion may strengthen the motivation of advantaged families to increase their investments in their children’s education but limit their capacity to undertake effective educational responses, particularly during the initial stages of the expansionary process. We use the socio-demographic survey conducted in Spain in 1991, which provides representative samples for different cohorts and regions in the country, and employ multilevel modelling to analyse the effect of the phase and intensity of the expansion on inequality. Our findings show a strong positive relationship between the intensity of expansion and the level of inequality that, nonetheless, is less strong at the initial stage of the expansionary process.

    Parental time dedication and children’s education: an analysis of West Germany
    (Research in Social Stratification and Mobility, 2018) Cordero Coma, Julia; Esping-Andersen, Gosta; JAI Press
    Parental time dedication in childhood, at least of certain kinds, has been observed to be positive for children's cognitive and emotional development. We examine two underexplored issues: a) the effect of time inputs in early childhood on later educational achievement (at age 17) and b) effect differences by parents’ level of education. We use data from the German Socioeconomic Panel and analyze a sample of 1141 individuals born between 1983 and 1997. Models with and without family fixed-effects are estimated. We find, firstly, that the parenting effect primarily derives from maternal involvement. Secondly, maternal time dedication (at age 4–5) increases the likelihood of attending the prestigious Gymnasium track for children of highly educated mothers. For children of less educated mothers the amount of maternal time in child care makes no substantial difference in Gymnasium attendance. Thirdly, a long-time investment by highly educated mothers is particularly influential when it occurs in early childhood. Finally, the effect of maternal dedication does not vary with mother's employment status.
