Abstract
Esta tesis surge en el marco de la línea de investigación que trata de estudiar las repercusiones de las estructuras familiares no tradicionales sobre el bienestar y el curso de vida de los miembros que las componen. Como consecuencia de los cambios asociados a la Segunda Transición Demográfica (STD), las dinámicas y estructuras familiares comienzan a diversificarse (Billari, 2004), por lo que aumenta el interés en conocer la influencia de nuevas estructuras familiares sobre el bienestar de los hijos. La mayoría de las investigaciones a este respecto surgieron en el seno de la sociedad norteamericana, donde se comenzaron a estudiar los efectos del incremento de las rupturas matrimoniales (Amato y Keith, 1991) y de la proliferación de las familias monoparentales (McLanahan y Sandefur, 1994). Gradualmente, el objeto de estudio se fue extendiendo a otros tipos de familia, como las familias reconstruidas (Dunn, 2002), las familias en las que la pareja no está unida por un vinculo matrimonial (Bumpass y Lu, 2000) o las familias de parejas de un mismo sexo. Según estas investigaciones, las desventajas que muestran las familias no tradicionales frente a las familias biparentales-intactas se explican, en gran parte, por una serie de factores mediadores. Estos factores tienen habitualmente un carácter económico o sociológico, por lo que se suele recurrir a teorías o explicaciones de ambas disciplinas para explicar las diferencias observadas en el bienestar infantil según tipo de familia. Por ejemplo, las desventajas que sufren los individuos de familias monoparentales suelen explicarse por los menores recursos económicos de que disponen (McLanahan y Percheski, 2008), mientras que las desventajas de las familias reconstruidas están más vinculadas a la calidad y cantidad de relaciones paterno/materno-filiales (King, 2009)...
This doctoral dissertation is developed in the line of research whose purpose is the study of the repercussions of non-traditional family structures on the wellbeing and life course of its members. As a result of the changes associated with the Second Demographic Transition (SDT), the dynamics and structures of the family begin to diversify (Billari, 2004), increasing interest in learning about the influence of new family structures on the wellbeing of children. Most of the research on the subject appeared with regard to North American society, where the first studies on the effect of the increasing number of marriage breakdowns (Amato and Keith, 1991) and proliferation of monoparental families (McLanahan and Sandefur, 1994) were undertaken. Gradually, the object of study was extended to other types of families, such as reconstructed families, (Dunn, 2002), families where the couple has no matrimonial bond (Bumpass and Lu, 2000) or families with couples of the same sex. According to this research, the disadvantages shown by non-traditional families with respect to intact biparental families can be mostly explained by means of a group of mediating factors. These factors normally have an economic or sociologic character, which is the reason why theories and explanations from both disciplines are usually used to explain the differences observed in the children’s wellbeing according to the type of family they are brought up in. For instance, the disadvantages suffered by individuals reared in monoparental families are normally explained by the lower economic resources available to them (McLanahan and Percheski, 2008), while the disadvantages of reconstructed families are more related to the quality and quantity of the parentchild relationship (King, 2009)...
