Daniela Grunow and Marie Evertson held a session at the 9th International Conference on Social Science Methodology (RC33) titled Analysing qualitative longitudinal couple data. A comparative perspective.
In this session, Gerlieke Veltkamp presented a work with Katia
Begall on the division of care and work before and after the first
birth in Dutch couples: a longitudinal mixed-method analysis. Alexandra
Ils presented her research on parenthood in media.

JUNE 2016
Daniela Grunow and Sandra Buchler presented a research paper titled
“Gender Ideologies Across Europe: Testing a Multidimensional Framework” at the
Work and Family Researchers Network conference, June 22-25, in Washington, USA.
The research is co-authored by Katia Begall. Using a sample of 33 European
countries and latent class analysis, Begall, Buchler and Grunow find that
multi-dimensional ideologies, including intensive parenthood and egalitarian
essentialism, have largely replaced traditional ideologies. The next step of
the research is to examine how these multidimensional gender ideologies are
influenced by individual characteristics.

investigates the fit between these norms and existing family policy
frameworks.
