| Description | The expanding “divorce culture” is a relatively new phenomenon that has taken on greater importance over recent decades, and we can assume that it will influence the principles of social reproduction. The theoretical question on the broadest level is this: how will the mechanisms of social reproduction differ in a situation where the growing probability of divorce is expanding the circle of people who are forced to redefine their life paths and reproduction strategies? This article presents the results of comprehensive research following the logic of sequential explanatory design. In this type of mixed research, qualitative research helps to enhance the interpretation of models found in the previous quantitative part of the analysis. Following the principle of grounded theory, I will introduce a theoretical model as an attempt to explain recent changes in reproduction strategies in terms of specific type of individualization habitus and specific re-construction aspect of reproduction strategies. |
