Raising children requires a reorganization of both professional and private lives, with potential consequences for mental health. In a new study published in Acta Sociologica, Anna Baranowska-Rataj, associate professor in sociology at Umeå University, Sweden, used data from the European Social Survey. The survey includes a validated version of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale, constructed to identify populations at risk of developing depressive disorders. The analyses focused on 7,779 partnered men and women in 25 European countries, aged 20–50 and with preschool children. With this data, Anna Baranowska-Rataj investigated how parents’ mental well-being were affected by their division of paid and unpaid labor.
