A recent study by Michaela Šťastná, @jmikolai.bsky.social, Nissa Finney, and Katherine Keenan typologises complex family trajectories in the UK from the perspective of children up to age 10. @childlives.bsky.social
The @childlives.bsky.social project is in Bologna for #EPC2026 @eaps.bsky.social. Our PI @jmikolai.bsky.social will present ‘Diverging destinies across the life course?’ in session 119 ‘Child Custody and Children’s Outcomes’ (Saturday, 6 June 11:00-12:30, room G).
New paper on #UK #children's diverse #family pathways using #sequenceanalysis on @usociety.bsky.social data shows:
* More than 25% of children do not grow up with biological parents
* Children of more educated, Asian, and migrant mothers tend to grow up with married parents
