Genetic studies

[edit]

Caution needed, primary sources. All too easy to find, but there do not appear to be any reviews that would meet WP:MEDRS

Second millenium

[edit]
  • Infant mortality in Iceland less dependent on whether child born in wedlock, strong dependence on family ties in 1700s-early 1800s, and on breastfeeding (uncommon at that time)[1]
  • Odd fragment on 19th century or marriage rates [2] (academic)
  • Infanticide/barnaútburðr might be a topic for inclusion; this source discusses it with reference to Icelandic sources. Capital punishment in Iceland discusses women being charged for it but does not cite inline sources

Third millenium

[edit]
  • General document on gender equality, wide range of topics and a timeline (1850-2012). Concentrates on legal and government changes: "Gender equality in Iceland" (PDF).
  • Economic crisis and gender [4]
  • contradicts lede on parental leave: "The amount paid during parental leave has also been cut three times since the collapse, twice under the left-wing government. The result of this is that the uptake of parental leave among fathers seems to have been affected. While the proportion of fathers applying for leave was similar in 2011 and 2007 (91 per cent and 89 per cent, respectively), the time spent on leave by fathers went from averaging 100 days in 2007 to 84 in 2011, although this decline should be interpreted somewhat cautiously[6] (Arnalds, Eydal, and Gíslason 2013). In 2012 the government raised the cap back to its 2008 level in nominal terms and decided to prolong the leave from nine months to 12 in stages between 2014 and 2016, where each parent would have five months of non-transferrable leave and then they would each divide the remaining two months of leave between them."
  • This rather odd outsider-view source[5] also contradicts: "All the more so because if you are in a job the state gives you nine months on fully paid child leave, to be split among the mother and the father as they so please."
  • this (unusable self-published) source[6] says: "In Iceland the rules for maternity/paternity leave is that the mother gets 3 months, fathers 3 months and they get in addition 3 months which they can arrange as they wish, most of the time it’s the mothers who get the 6 month leave – which can be taken during the first 18 months after the child is born. For example I’ll be on a 50% leave for 12 months because I want to stay at home with the kids and not put her to daycare too early."
