Die konfessionelle Mischehe in Deutschland (1901-1986) und den Niederlanden (1914-1986)

Abstract: This paper describes and compares trends of religious homogamy and heterogamy in Germany (1901-1986) and the Netherlands (1914-1986), using four (and sometimes six) categories of religious denomination. Attention is paid mainly to the relative frequencies of religious assortive marriage, using loglinear models to control for the impact of demographic factors. Moreover, attention is drawn to the patterns of acceptance and rejection between members of different denominations on the marriage market. Special attention has been given to Jewish marriage behavior in Germany in the period 1927-1936 and in the Netherlands in the period 1935-1943, in order to reveal the effects of the rise of National-Socialism. With the exception of certain well-defined groups, crossing denominational borders on the marriage market has become a normal pattern in both countries. This is taken as an indication of growing social integration and societal openness. General theories such as modernization or industrialization can account for the trends only to a very limited degree. National history and denominational characteristics seem to provide more adequate interpretations.

De cultuur of de centen... Een nieuwe toetsing van hypothesen over culturele en economische hulpbronnen in de intergenerationele overdracht van onderwijs

Abstract: In this paper we address the Bourdieu-like question of whether in the Netherlands parental economic resources explain increasingly less and parental cultural resources increasingly more of the transfer of education from parents to their eldest child. We do so by following up on De Graaf's (1986) analysis of the Quality of Life Survey 1977, which concluded that in the younger cohort parental cultural and financial resources contribute less to educational reproduction than in the older one with the contribution of financial resources becoming insignificant. However, an analysis of the Quality of Life Survey 1986 data leads to different findings. Now in the younger cohort both parental cultural and economic resources explain more of educational transfer than in the older one. Conclusions turn out to differ by sex. For daughters of the younger cohort no effect of parental economic resources is found.
