The aim is to investigate whether,and if so how, separation affects second birth spacing in Western European countries. METHODS This analysis makes use of rich survey data from Belgium, France, Germany, Italy,Spain, and the United Kingdom, as well as from Finnish register data. We thus cover the behavior of a large proportion of the population of Western Europe. We also use descriptive measures, such as Kaplan‒Meier survival functions and cumulative incidence curves. In the multivariate analysis, we employ event history modeling to show how education relates to postseparation fertility behavior.

More specifically, we focus on the transition to the second child and compare the behavior of respondents in ongoing partnerships (couples who are still partnered with the mother/father of their first child) with those who have experienced family dissolution after the first birth. The investigation reveals strong gender differences in postseparation fertility behavior. We also find large regional differences. Eastern Germans had much lower second birth rates than western Germans. However, they were more prone than western Germans to have their second child with a parent who was not the father or the mother of their firstborn child. This result is in line with descriptive findings on the diversity of family structures in eastern Germany.

The analysis shows that stepfamilies more often report economic hardship than nuclear families in France and western Germany. Socio-demographic differences between family types — particularly the fact that stepfamilies tend to be larger families — explain the differences in economic well-being between families in France. For western Germany, differences between nuclear and stepfamilies remain after controlling for socio-economic composition of different family types. For the Russian Federation and eastern Germany, we do not find any statistically significant differences in economic well-being between stepfamilies and nuclear families. The major dividing line for these regions runs between single parents and other types of families.

Dem geringen Niederschlag dieser Tendenz in der Forschung trägt das vorliegende Themenheft Rechnung. Der wesentliche Unterschied zwischen der heutigen und der historischen Stieffamilie liegt in dem Umstand, dass das zweite biologische Elternteil heute in der Regel noch am Leben ist. Stieffamilien sind eine sehr komplexe Größe, und es gibt vielerlei Wege in die Stieffamilie hinein. Vor diesem Hintergrund werden hier Beiträge vorgelegt, die Evolution und Entwicklung von Stieffamilien aus einer dynamischen Perspektive beschreiben. Der Beitrag gibt einen thematischen Überblick über diese Beiträge.
