Abstract

Based on data from the Fertility Survey, 2019, we aimed to characterize and compare the parental and conjugal paths of fathers and mothers with non-resident children under the age of 18, as well as to understand whether the interrelationships between these elements of their biographies form different non-resident parenting profiles. The bivariate analysis showed the mothers’ and fathers’ family trajectories and nucleus are diverse, distinct and, at the same time, similar to each other. The multiple correspondence analysis revealed three profiles of non-resident parenting: that of cohabitants, that of those who did not live in conjugality, and that of married couples.
