OneChild research project (2022–2025) focuses on the topical issue of declining fertility rates in Finland. The project examines how first-time parents' experiences related to the transition to parenthood, early steps of parenthood, and work–family reconciliation are associated with the intentions to have and the birth of a second child. Valuable information is provided to the development of support measures related to parenthood and working life to support the well-being of parents and families as well as possibly subsequent childbearing for those who desire for more than one child.
Longitudinal dyadic survey data collected as part of the CopaGloba consortium (2020–2022) from Finnish first-time parents is utilized to examine, how changes and experiences related to work-family reconciliation during the transition to parenthood and in early parenthood are associated with first-time mothers' and fathers' intentions to have a second child. The project also investigates how changes in parenting confidence from 6 to 18 months after birth predict parental couple members' intentions to have another child in Finland.
Longitudinal survey data collected as part of the CHILDCARE consortium (2016–2020) is used to examine how Finnish first-time parents’ worries related to early parenthood predict the probability of a second birth.
