Polyamory emerged in the 1990s as a new mode of loving relationship, a paradigmatic representation of contemporary love. Unrelated to a particular sexual identity, as a specific modality of non-monogamy, being a relationship orientation in which is believed the possibility and acceptance to love many people, maintaining multiple intimate relationships. This family arrangement is already present in many countries and in Brazil the latest survey in a social media group indicated 17,487 members interested in the topic. The instrument used was the semi-structured interview and narratives obtained, classified in three categories: Experiencing the quotidian, Experiencing the social, and Constructing gender relationships in the polyamory. The results showed some similarities with other conventional family arrangements such as: division of tasks, jealousy, hierarchy, gender issues and others. Conjugality and sexuality are peculiar to the researched family and follow established criteria in polyamorous arrangements. We suggest further studies on polyamorous families in our reality / Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa com delineamento de estudo de caso sobre o poliamor. O poliamor surgiu na década de 90 como uma nova modalidade de relacionamento amoroso, uma representação paradigmática do amor contemporâneo. Sem ligação com uma identidade sexual particular, como uma modalidade específica da não-monogamia, sendo uma orientação de relacionamento na qual se acredita ser possível e aceitável amar muitas pessoas e manter múltiplos relacionamentos íntimos. Este arranjo familiar já está presente em muitos países e no Brasil o último levantamento em um grupo de uma mídia social indicava 17.487 membros interessados no tema. O instrumento utilizado foi a entrevista semi-estruturada e as narrativas obtidas classificadas em três categorias: Vivenciando o cotidiano, Vivenciando o social, e Construindo as relações de genêro no poliamor. Os resultados mostraram algumas similaridades com os outros arranjos familiares mais convencionais, como: divisão de tarefas, ciúme, hierarquia, questões de genêro, entre outras. A conjugalidade e a sexualidade são peculiares da família pesquisada e seguem critéros estabelecidos nos arranjos poliamorosos. Sugerimos mais estudos sobre famílias poliamorosas na nossa realidade

Balancing a successful career with a family life can be challenging and impact on a person's satisfaction in their work and family roles, affecting not only the person but their partner and children as well. This study examined the influence of social support from family and work associates on the role satisfaction of female and male managers, and their children's adjustment. Participants were 96 male and 100 female managers and their families. The first aim of this study was to examine the relative importance of work and family support for satisfaction in the roles of paid worker, spouse and parent. Findings showed that social support had a domain-specific effect, with work support associated with job satisfaction, and family support associated with marital and parenting satisfaction. The second aim of the study was to evaluate gender differences in perceived social support, and the association of support with role satisfaction. Although there were considerable differences in the managers' work and family arrangements, female managers and male managers reported receiving similar levels of work and family support, and the strength of the relationship between social support and role satisfaction was similar for both genders. The final aim of the study was to examine the role of social support in the larger family system, as research has mainly focussed on the influence of social support on the support recipient. This study extended research on the relationship between social support and role satisfaction, by showing that family support was not only associated to managers' role satisfaction, but also to managers' interactions with their children, and their children's adjustment. Work support on the other hand, was related to job satisfaction, but not to parent-child interactions and child adjustment. The findings from this study could inform clinicians' treatment of families with children experiencing problems by addressing the relationship of family support with child adjustment. Findings could also inform governments' work and family agendas, which generally focus on providing assistance to employers with the development of workplace policies to improve work-family balance. Governments should also promote the role of family support, and provide information for families on how to arrange household and childcare tasks and provide support to each other to facilitate work-family balance. Furthermore, the current study showed that work support is positively related to employee's job satisfaction, which is important for employees as well as employers. Employers can promote supportive relationships among employees through establishing networking opportunities for their employees, such as breakfast meetings, workshops and seminars, and business planning days. This study showed that some people can have it all - a satisfying and successful career, a happy marriage, and fulfilling parenthood - and social support appears to play a significant role in achieving this.

The proportion of children born outside of marriage in Chile increased from 15.9 percent in 1960 to 64.6 percent in 2008. Similar increases have been taken elsewhere as indicative of a Second Demographic Transition (SDT). In this dissertation, I study differences between married and unmarried mothers in Chile and the reasons why such a large proportion of children are born outside of marriage, with the goal of understanding whether the demographic changes we are observing in the country are part of a global movement towards the SDT. The data comes from a postpartum survey implemented in Santiago, the capital city. I analyze differences between women according to the family arrangement they live in, including married women in nuclear households, married women in extended households, cohabiters in nuclear households, cohabiters in extended households, visiting mothers, and single mothers. I consider women’s socioeconomic wellbeing, emotional wellbeing, social support, attitudes and values, and reproductive health. The results show large demographic and socioeconomic differences, marking the socioeconomic advantage of married women in nuclear households, who are the oldest, and the disadvantage of cohabiters in extended households, visiting and single mothers, who are the youngest women in the sample. Married women in extended households and cohabiters in nuclear households are between these two poles. Differences in emotional wellbeing exist, benefiting married women in nuclear households, but they are not so large. Differences in social support continue delineating married women in nuclear households as a privileged group, but visiting mothers appear as a highly supported group too. There are not large differences in attitudes and values, as most women continue holding conservative attitudes on family issues, and most unmarried mothers plan to marry. Differences in reproductive health are large, showing that unplanned births and contraceptive failure are high in the underprivileged and youngest groups. Unmarried women seem to accept their pregnancies with no pressure to marry, and to give priority to other goals, such as their careers and homeownership, before the wedding, which they do not discard for the future. Under these circumstances, it is hard to interpret recent demographic changes in Chile as a SDT. / text

For the achievement of this study were performed in a first phase, conversations with authors who discuss the theme of migration, whether international or domestic were performed. A dialogue with theorists who portray the issue of gender, male domination and sexual division of labor, as well as authors who address the notion of family arrangements was also made. Finally, we worked with authors who discuss women's participation in migratory flows and the coordination and mobilization of kinship networks. Then, through qualitative research, interviews were conducted with 33 migrant women, using a guide and semi-structured individual interviews, which was built as advanced research and theoretical literature. The research shows that women migrants women in question, according to the socio-cultural and family, play different social roles. Family and living arrangements decisively influence the representation of these social roles. But other factors such as the origin, regional culture, the weather conditions and socioeconomic status, may influence these representations, to the point of women from the same family arrangement, act differently in society in general and in the migration process. / O objetivo desta pesquisa foi o de compreender as trajetórias das famílias migrantes e, sobretudo, as trajetórias de vida e os papéis sociais atribuídos e desempenhados no âmbito da sociedade e, especificamente, nos processos migratórios, por mulheres migrantes paranaenses e nordestinas, residentes em um bairro da cidade de São Carlos, interior de São Paulo, denominado Cidade Aracy, considerando sempre a origem, a cultura regional, a condição socioeconômica e o arranjo familiar. Para a efetivação deste estudo, foram realizados, em uma primeira fase, diálogos com autores que discutem a temática da migração, seja ela internacional ou interna. Dialogou-se ainda com teóricos que retratam a questão de gênero, a dominação masculina e a divisão sexual do trabalho, bem como com autores que abordam a noção de arranjos familiares. Finalmente, trabalhou-se com autores que discutem a participação da mulher nos fluxos migratórios e na articulação e mobilização das redes de parentesco. Em seguida, através da pesquisa qualitativa, realizaram-se entrevistas com 33 mulheres migrantes, empregando um roteiro de entrevista individual e semiestruturado, que foi construído à medida que avançava a pesquisa bibliográfica e a fundamentação teórica. A pesquisa revela que as mulheres migrantes em questão, de acordo com o contexto sociocultural e familiar, desempenham papéis sociais diferentes. A família e os arranjos familiares influenciam decisivamente no desempenho desses papéis sociais. Mas, outros fatores, como a origem, a cultura regional, a condição climática, a condição socioeconômica, podem influenciar nessas representações, ao ponto das mulheres provenientes de um mesmo arranjo familiar, atuarem de modos diferentes na sociedade em geral e no processo migratório.

En France, les politiques de conciliation travail-famille reposent principalement sur le développement de modes de garde institutionnels. Les grands-parents continuent pourtant d’occuper une place importante dans les arrangements quotidiens des familles. Comment expliquer leur implication dans la garde des jeunes enfants ? En alliant sociologies de la famille et de l’articulation des temps sociaux, et en croisant méthodes qualitatives et quantitatives, cette thèse s’intéresse aux bricolages des parents au quotidien pour articuler vies familiale et professionnelle, à travers l’étude du cas limite qu’est le recours à l’aide des grands-parents. Cette thèse met l’emphase sur deux logiques. 1) S’il existe une norme de bonne grand-parentalité qui règle la façon dont les grands-parents s’impliquent dans la garde de leurs petits-enfants, celle-ci émane des catégories sociales supérieures et n’est pas intériorisée de façon homogène dans tous les milieux sociaux. Les stratégies éducatives des parents et les attentes vis-à-vis des grands-parents diffèrent selon l’origine sociale. 2) Les contextes professionnels, familiaux et institutionnels jouent comme des contraintes et des opportunités qui influent sur les arrangements quotidiens des parents et les conduisent à infléchir leurs stratégies éducatives quant à l’implication des grands-parents. L’analyse de l’articulation de ces logiques permet d’identifier quatre types de garde grand-parentale : dépannage, routine, intensif et loisirs. Cette thèse montre enfin la corrélation entre développement des enfants et garde grand-parentale, invitant à penser cet objet comme un ensemble diversifié de pratiques vectrices d’inégalités sociales. / In France, work-family policies rely mainly on the development of formal childcare. Yet grandparents still have an important role in the daily arrangements of families. How can this involvement of grandparents be explained? By allying the contributions of the sociology of the family and the studies on work-family reconciliation, and based on the combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, this thesis examines to what extent the efforts of parents to articulate professional time and family aspirations are often stopgap solutions made on a daily basis. The use of grandparental childcare is a case study for such analysis.This thesis focuses on two logics. First, while there is a norm of what is good grandparenting that determines the way grandparents should get involved in childcare, it originates from the upper-classes and is not homogeneously internalized in all social categories. Parents' educational strategies and expectations regarding grandparents differ according to their social background. Second, professional, family and institutional contexts act as constraints and opportunities that influence parents' daily arrangements and lead them to modify their educational strategies as to the degree and forms of grandparents' involvement. The analysis of the articulation of these logics makes it possible to identify four types of use of grandparents for the care of young children: temporary fix care, routine care, intensive care and leisure care. This thesis also shows how grandparent involvement affects child development. It invites us to consider grandparental childcare as a broad set of practices through which inequalities can be transmitted.
