3. Funding: Major investments Royal Academy of Arts and Sciences Participating institutes

4. New research questions: from the start as opportunities presented themselves

5. Three central research questions: 1.nature and strength of family ties, and changes over time (solidarity) 2. differences: how to explain? 3. differences: implications for individuals, families, and society (questions of inequality, cohesion, modernization, and identity)

23. New research questions from the start Netherlands Kinship Panel Study: A multi-actor, multi-method, go to go to panel study go to go to on solidarity in family relationships

24. Anchor (17<age<80) Current Partner Children (max. 2) (age>14) Parent 1 Sibling 1 (age>14) Parent in-law 1 Sibling n (age>14) Sibling 3 (age>14) Sibling2 (age>14 ) Parent in-law 2 Grandparents Parent 2 Ex-partner Friend Family members in the NKPS Grandchild Child n (age>14) Child 4 (age>14) Child 3 (age>14)

25. Multi-actor (1) Discrepancies in parent’s and child’s reports (Mandemakers & Dykstra, JMF 2008) Hypotheses: generational stake self-enhancement* family obligations* dissatisfaction* relationship quality*

26. Multi-actor (2) Intergenerational transmission of kinship norms (De Vries, Kalmijn & Liefbroer, SSR 2009) Hypotheses (sibling model) direct norm transmission* socialization of obedience* shared background back back

27. Multi-method (1) combination CAPI / CAWI / CATI qualitative studies supplementing quantitative analyses

28. Multi-method (2) Selected topics qualitative studies black sheep in the family (Komter, Voorpostel & Pels, JFI 2010) non-standard work schedules (Mills & Täht, JMF 2010) ethnicity and intergenerational solidarity (Schans & Komter, JAS forthcoming) young and late parenthood (Rijken & Knijn, DR 2009) etc. back back

30. New research questions as opportunities presented themselves collaboration with historians record linkage Generations and Gender Programme

31. Historical Sample of the Netherlands (HSN) life history information taken from population registers (a.o. fertility, residential, employment) HSN: cohorts ≤ 1922 NKPS: cohorts ≥ 1923 span past and present E.g.: Long-term changes in the living arrangements of children in the Netherlands Van Gaalen & Van Poppel, JFI 2009

32. Changes in privacy regulations linkage of survey data with registry information (via NCBS) in wave 2: 93% of respondents provided permission for linkage 99% of respondents identified in registers registry information: a.o. social security benefits, taxable income, health care usage E.g. Family care and public care. Schenk, Dykstra, & Maas, A & S forthcoming

33. NKPS: model for GGP (PAU –UNECE) GGP is successor of Family & Fertililty Surveys 20 countries participating at present combination of survey and contextual data wave 1 data currently available for 11 countries NKPS = Dutch GGP

34. New questions how are interactions in families shaped by welfare state provisions? can our theoretical paradigms be transplanted to Eastern Europe? are social trends characterized by convergence?

35. In conclusion, the NKPS has put Dutch family scholars on the academic map has been a training ground for young scholars serves as a source of information for policy makers exemplifies that families are about both the young and the old
