According to the 2005 ERFI survey, almost one in ten under-age children whose parents are separated never see their father. The younger the child at the time of parental separation, the less frequently he or she subsequently sees his father. The proportion of children who never see their father is high when the divorce was not by mutual consent but initiated by either the mother or the father only. It is also higher when the father has a low level of education, has an unstable job or is unemployed, or has a low income. Loss of contact between father and child is less frequent in cases of alternating residence.

Au cours des trente dernieres annees, le mouvement saisonnier des naissances a evolue en France de facon progressive, perdant de son amplitude et voyant son mode se deplacer de mai a septembre. Les raisons restent difficiles a determiner. Cependant, les donnees exhaustives de l’etat civil, couplees aux statistiques de l’avortement, permettent d’expliquer la repartition actuelle des naissances : le « pic » de septembre correspond a un surplus de conceptions le soir du nouvel an. Le mouvement saisonnier laisse toutefois apparaitre quelques accidents. Par exemple, les principaux episodes de canicule survenus depuis 1975 conduisent a une moindre frequence des accouchements neuf mois plus tard. Quant au creux de naissances observe a la fin de l’ete 1975, il pourrait etre la consequence de l’entree en application de la loi Veil legalisant l’avortement. Mais l’interpretation en reste toutefois prudente, l’effet ayant ete de courte duree.

The quality of survey data depends on the way information is collected. Interviewers are instructed to ensure that the interviews take place in private without anyone else present. However, they cannot impose the interview conditions, and in many cases one or more other persons are present during all or part of the interview.

Based in our data, in France, 80 % of people aged 18–79 report being Catholic (currently or by birth), 5 % Muslim, 2 % Protestant, 2 % a different religion and 11 % say they have no religion. But this distribution varies considerably by age: the youngest cohorts less often report a religious affiliation, and when they do, they attend religious services less regularly than their elders.

Different studies of same-sex couples based on the Generations and Gender Survey (GSS) have been published in recent years. However, in this survey, people in gay and lesbian couples are not identified via a direct question but by comparing two separate variables: the sex of the respondent and that of the partner. But the identification of same-sex couples by comparing the sex of both partners is very unreliable. The few sex-coding errors of one of the partners in heterosexual couples generate a very high proportion of “false” same-sex couples among all couples considered to be of the same sex. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the problematic nature of the indicator in order to avoid inappropriate use of GGS data (and other surveys more generally) and to discuss the reliability of analyses of same-sex couples made with these data.

Using data from the first two waves of the French Generations and Gender Survey (GGS), conducted in 2005 and 2008 with the same respondents, this chapter looks at changes in how household tasks are divided between partners and examines how the partners’ levels of satisfaction evolve after the birth of the first child.

This introductory chapter outlines the main ambitions of the Generations and Gender Programme (GGP) upon which the studies published in this book are based, and gives a brief presentation of each one. In the early 2000s, the Population Activities Unit of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) launched a programme of comparative studies in around 20 countries to gain more insight into the recent sociodemographic changes affecting most western societies. In each country, the aim was to interview around 10,000 people aged 18-79 on three occasions, at regular three-year intervals. The results presented in this book are based exclusively on data from the first wave of the French survey (Etude des relations familiales et intergenerationnelles, ERFI), and focus on two key themes covered in the questionnaire: the stages of life and the diversity of family trajectories; and domestic organization within the couple.

The diffusion of contraception and the legalization of abortion have made birth control a much simpler matter: people can now choose the timing of their entry into parenthood. This study first focuses on the context in which intentions to have a first child are expressed in France: in addition to the question of age, certain conjugal and occupational situations seem more favourable to the expression of a desire to become a parent. It then draws a comparison between stated fertility intentions in France in 2005 and realizations 3 years later, based on longitudinal data from the GGS survey, identifying the situations most favourable to realizing plans for parenthood. The results bring to light some of the conditions to be satisfied before deciding to become parents and, indirectly, outlines the main features of the “procreative norm” in France.

Intentional timing by couples was one of the explanations put forward for the spring birth peak observed in France in the 1970s and 1980s. At first sight, recent changes in seasonality, characterized by a shift in the mode and a reduction in amplitude, appear to challenge this hypothesis. However, data from two recent surveys, which included specific questions on this topic, as well as from the registry of births, show that a non-negligible proportion of couples deliberately discontinue birth control in order to have a child at a particular time of the year. Their decision seems to be driven mainly by the attraction of the summer months and by job-related concerns. When the seasonal birth rates are broken down according to the woman’s occupation, we find distinctive patterns for three categories: «farmers», «self-employed: business, trade and crafts» and, above all, “primary-school teachers”. The majority of the latter give birth in spring – far fewer have children in July and August – so that their maternity leave will run into the long summer holidays.
