Changes in the Order of Family Life Events in 20th-Century Europe: A Cross-Regional Perspective by Reto Burgin, Reto Schumacher, Gilbert Ritschard

“…In Eastern Europe where family event sequences have become less standardized and where a particular sequence characterized by the reversal of the traditional order between leaving home and family formation has been observed, the hypothesized transition is still in its very beginning. In Western Europe the transition is clearly on its way, but no re-standardization towards a new standard can be observed as for now. …”
