Along with research teams in Sweden (Elizabeth Thomson (PI), Gunnar Anderson, Eva Bernhardt), Norway (Kenneth Aarskaug Wiik), and the United States (Kelly Musick), I will investigate how cohabitation is related to family instability and the formation of complex families in Sweden, more broadly in Europe, and the United States. This research project will take advantage of newly available Swedish Generations and Gender Survey data. This project is funded by the Swedish Research Council from 2015-18.
The kick-off meeting for the research project took place in Stockholm, 18-20 March 2015.
