“ Tels parents, tels enfants ? ” L’utilisation de données de seconde main dans l’étude des influences politiques parentales en Suisse

Boris Wernli

‘‘Like Parents, Like Children?’’ Using Secondary Data in the Study of Parental Political Influence in Switzerland: This text is devoted to the intergenerational transmission of left-right ideological orientation. Using data from the Swiss Household Panel (www.swisspanel.ch), collected both directly and through intermediaries, it raises the question of the validity of second-hand information, which is discussed on several points. The article also shows that there is a strong long-term coherence between the ideological orientation of parents and their children. It also highlights the fact that the link is not the same for boys as for girls, and it varies between generations. Finally, it shows that strong upward social mobility, compared to the original environment, facilitates emancipation from parental ideology, social inertia being greater for downward and horizontal mobility. Ce texte est consacré à la transmission intergénérationnelle de l’orientation idéologique gauche-droite. Utilisant des données du Panel Suisse de Ménages (www.swisspanel.ch), collectées tant directement que par personnes interposées, il pose la question de la validité des informations de seconde main, qui est étudiée sur plusieurs points. L’article montre en outre qu’il existe à long terme une forte cohérence entre l’orientation idéologique des parents et de leurs enfants. Il met aussi en évidence que ce lien n’est pas la même auprès des garçons qu’auprès des filles, et qu’il varie entre les générations. Finalement, il montre qu’une forte ascension sociale par rapport au milieu d’origine facilite l’émancipation des orientations idéologiques parentales, l’inertie étant plus forte pour les trajectoires descendantes et horizontales.

Family Trajectories and Life Satisfaction: The Swiss Case

Boris Wernli; Sara Zella

Focusing on the last 14 waves of the Swiss Household Panel (2001–2014), we examined the impact of five family events (formation of the union, transition from cohabitation to marriage, birth of child/ren, dissolution of the union and departure of children from the family nest) on life satisfaction. Analyses were performed separately for women and men, and we controlled for demographics (age), economics (household income, education level, satisfaction with financial situation), health (impediment, satisfaction with health) and social interaction parameters (participation in clubs or other groups, satisfaction of free time, leisure activities and personal relationships). We adopted a life course perspective and used a multilevel approach to study individual trajectories on the mid-term (5 years) with an aim at understanding not only the impact of several events on well-being but at capturing its duration. Results show that most of the considered steps of the family construction and dissolution have an impact, which is different across time and between females and men.

Uncovering perspectives on masculinity in Swiss men’s organizations using a mixed methods approach

Hakim Ben Salah; Boris Wernli

ABSTRACT This article describes a mixed methods study of men’s organizations in Switzerland, a topic only scantly addressed in research. In the first phase, a content analysis of the websites of the 40 major men’s organizations in Switzerland identified three overarching perspec-tives on masculinity: Defensive, Expressive and Relational, and Radical pro-feminist. Subsequently, survey responses from 324 men in these various organizations identified the positioning of these individuals on the three perspectives. The use of these two methods allows for a comparison of the positioning of the spokespersons of these organizations with the views of the members. The survey also reveals important ideological con-vergences across very different types of organizations at the level of the individual member.

Fin de l'union conjugale, genre et tâches ménagères en Suisse

Boris Wernli; Caroline Henchoz

Les analyses longitudinales, qui suivent un meme individu dans le temps, sont rares et portent essentiellement sur l’evolution de la repartition des tâches domestiques entre les conjoints. Elles soulignent l’accroissement du temps que les femmes consacrent aux tâches menageres lors de la constitution du couple et de la famille, mais elles ne disent pas si ce phenomene est reversible. Observe-t-on l’inverse a la fin de l’union ? Qu’en est-il des hommes ? L’analyse longitudinale des donnees du Panel suisse de menages (PSM), recueillies entre 1999 et 2009, montre que la fin de l’union conjugale (par separation ou deces) entraine une diminution du temps que les femmes consacrent aux tâches menageres, alors qu’elle a peu d’effet sur l’investissement des hommes. La discussion des differents facteurs expliquant ces resultats nous amene a nuancer la portee explicative de la theorie du doing gender, largement mobilisee dans les etudes sur la repartition des tâches domestiques au sein du couple. Cette theorie semble plus appropriee pour decrire le comportement des femmes que celui des hommes. L’implication menagere de ces derniers semble, en effet, moins dependre des personnes avec lesquelles ils sont en interaction que de facteurs culturels comme les references normatives en matiere de repartition et d’investissement menager propres a chaque generation.
