The publication “Families in Austria 2009–2013: Descriptive Findings on Partnerships, Fertility Intentions, Childbearing, and Childrearing,” edited by Isabella Buber-Ennser, Norbert Neuwirth, and Maria Rita Testa, presents insights from the Austrian Generations and Gender Survey (GGS). It explores topics such as family size preferences, childbearing intentions, living arrangements, partnership dynamics, and the division of childcare and household tasks. Key findings reveal persistent gaps between ideal and actual family sizes, the influence of education and gender norms on parenting roles, and the stability and transitions in living and partnership arrangements. The longitudinal nature of the GGS provides valuable data for analyzing family and demographic trends over time.
