Summary
The link between family dynamics and economic conditions has received renewed attention in the era of uncertainty. Kohler, Billari, and Ortega (2002) were among the first to argue that individual-level economic uncertainty contributes to delayed union formation and childbearing in early adulthood in favor of prolonged residence in the parental home so as to better pursue either higher education or job stability (see Blossfeld et al 2005). The link between family dynamics and economic conditions has received renewed attention in the era of uncertainty. Kohler, Billari, and Ortega (2002) were among the first to argue that individual-level economic uncertainty contributes to delayed union formation and childbearing in early adulthood in favor of prolonged residence in the parental home so as to better pursue either higher education or job stability (see Blossfeld et al 2005). The link between economic forces and family dynamics has received renewed attention in the present era of heightened uncertainty. Union formation may be affected by subjective appraisals of employment conditions, including employment security and – acknowledging the prospective nature of uncertainty itself – expectations of future employment
