The associated fundamental changes in opportunity structures and values challenged the importance of families of origin for individual life courses, but two research strands suggest enduring within-family reproduction of women\u2019s family behavior and work outcomes. We revisit this issue by studying two complementary types of intergenerational associations in women\u2019s combined work-family trajectories. On the one hand, we examine similarities across mothers\u2019 and daughters\u2019 work-family trajectories to address the direct within-family reproduction of female life courses (intergenerational persistence). On the other hand, we examine systematic associations between work-family trajectories that are typical in each generation to address intergenerational interdependencies beyond direct reproduction that account for individual and societal constrains and opportunities that each generation faced (intergenerational correspondence). We use a within-dyad approach to sequence analysis and examine combined work-family trajectories between ages 18 and 35 of two generations of women, born in 1930\u20131949 and in 1958\u20131981, within the same family drawn from the German Socio-Economic Panel. Overall, we find evidence of small but nontrivial persistence in work-family trajectories across generations that is partly attributed to within-family mechanisms of reproduction. In addition, we find correspondence across typical trajectory patterns of each generation, without daughters necessarily resembling their mothers\u2019 trajectories. The strength of the intergenerational associations varies by social background. Our research improves and broadens our understanding of the reproduction of female life courses across generations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s13524-020-00899-z","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,11]],"date-time":"2020-08-11T15:13:00Z","timestamp":1597158780000},"page":"1483-1511","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Interdependencies in Mothers\u2019 and Daughters\u2019 Work-Family Life Course Trajectories: Similar but Different?"],"prefix":"10.1215","volume":"57","author":[{"given":"Sergi","family":"Vidal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Campus UAB, Centre for Demographic Studies, Edifici E2, 08193 Bellaterra, Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Philipp M.","family":"Lersch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unter den Linden 6, Humboldt-Universit\u00e4t zu Berlin, 10099 Berlin, Germany"},{"name":"DIW Berlin, Mohrenstr. 58, 10117 Berlin, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marita","family":"Jacob","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Cologne, Albertus-Magnus-Platz, Cologne 50923, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Karsten","family":"Hank","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Cologne, Albertus-Magnus-Platz, Cologne 50923, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"73","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021012904004651300_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"369","DOI":"10.1007\/s10680-007-9134-6","article-title":"Strings of adulthood: A sequence analysis of young British women\u2019s work-family trajectories","volume":"23","author":"Aassve","year":"2007","journal-title":"European Journal of Population"},{"key":"2021012904004651300_CR2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"781","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1467-985X.2006.00432.x","article-title":"Employment, family union and childbearing decisions in Great Britain","volume":"169","author":"Aassve","year":"2006","journal-title":"Journal of the Royal Statistical Society: Series A (Statistics in Society)"},{"key":"2021012904004651300_CR3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1448","DOI":"10.1086\/691128","article-title":"The interplay of work and family trajectories over the life course: Germany and the United States in comparison","volume":"122","author":"Aisenbrey","year":"2017","journal-title":"American Journal of Sociology"},{"key":"2021012904004651300_CR4","volume-title":"Social learning theory","author":"Bandura","year":"1977"},{"key":"2021012904004651300_CR5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"219","DOI":"10.1006\/ssre.2000.0697","article-title":"The intergenerational transmission of age at first birth among married and unmarried men and women","volume":"30","author":"Barber","year":"2001","journal-title":"Social Science Research"},{"key":"2021012904004651300_CR6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"8026","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.1120666109","article-title":"The genetic architecture of economic and political preferences","volume":"109","author":"Benjamin","year":"2012","journal-title":"Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences"},{"key":"2021012904004651300_CR7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1002\/9781118900772.etrds0413","article-title":"The intergenerational transmission of fertility","volume-title":"Emerging trends in the social and behavioral sciences: An interdisciplinary, searchable, and linkable resource","author":"Bernardi","year":"2016"},{"key":"2021012904004651300_CR8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"100258","DOI":"10.1016\/j.alcr.2018.11.004","article-title":"The life course cube: A tool for studying lives","volume":"41","author":"Bernardi","year":"2019","journal-title":"Advances in Life Course Research"},{"key":"2021012904004651300_CR9","first-page":"175","article-title":"Female-centered family configurations and fertility","volume-title":"Beyond the nuclear family: Families in a configurational perspective","author":"Bernardi","year":"2008"},{"key":"2021012904004651300_CR10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"143","DOI":"10.1086\/229743","article-title":"Human capital investments or norms of role transition?
