It is well-documented that there is an intergenerational transmission of divorce from parents to their children. This paper investigates how this transmission is affected by grandparents’ divorce. Using individual-level longitudinal data on marriages and divorces in Sweden, 1905–2015, I show grandparents’ divorce matters for their grandchildren’s divorce risks, even when parents remain married. Mo

Explanations, including sociodemographic and interpersonal factors, have been offered as links between parental divorce and offspring’s

Both the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR) and the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (CFR) include the right to a fair trial by an independent and impartial tribunal established by law.

Laws based on the concept of extended producer responsibiltiy (EPR) have been implemented now for the last three decades. While their contribution to source separation of targetted waste streams, their contribution to reuse as well as closure of material loops have been arguably limited, and their effects on upstream changes require further research. Improvement of existing EPR laws have been disc

The programme, while keeping its applied and practical nature and dual column of business and policy, has been evolving over time and has produce

Att vägra värnplikt blev en viktig fråga för många unga män under 1960- 90-talet. Syftet med studien är att undersöka och analysera diskussionen och debatten om värnpliktsvägrarfrågan i Sverige under perioden 1965-91 för att blottlägga vilken typ av argument som kom i bruk. Eftersom antalet vägrare ökade under denna period uppstod även en intensiv diskussion om frågan i offentligheten. En viktig a
