211the case for age/cohort and country, five times for level of education, and
only two times for gender. Globally, Beanpole personal configurations are
more commonly found in Lithuania, in the older cohort, for lower-
educated individuals, and for individuals who have experienced Transition
to empty nest trajectories. The Extended conjugal configurations are more
typical of the younger cohort and are found less in Switzerland and
among individuals who have experienced Transition to empty nest trajec-
tories. Friendship configurations are more frequent among individuals
born in Switzerland and less frequent among those born in Lithuania,
among individuals born during the 1950s, and among individuals who
have experienced either Solo or Transition to lone parenthood co-residence
trajectories. The Mixed type of personal configurations is more frequently
found in the younger cohort, less common in Lithuania, and more likely
among individuals following Nesting one parent, Leaving parental home,
Conjugality, or Transition to lone parenthood trajectories. The Standard-
nuclear configurations are typical of older individuals, individuals with a
lower level of education, and individuals following a Parenthood co-
residence trajectory. A similar profile is observable for the Narrow-nuclear
configurations, which are also more frequent for men and in Lithuania.
The Parents type of personal configurations is found less frequently in
Switzerland. It is typical of women, of the younger cohort, and of indi-
viduals who have experienced a Leaving parental home trajectory. Siblings
configurations are typical of those who have followed either Nesting one
parent or Solo co-residence trajectories. Finally, Wo rk personal configura-
tions are also more frequent among those who have followed these two
latter co-residence trajectories or the Transition to parenthood trajectory;
additionally, they are more likely to be found among higher-educated
individuals.
To go a step further in the analysis, let us now examine the same mul-
tivariate analysis by taking into account all the respondents together, but
this time considering each country separately (Table 7.4).
In Switzerland, five of the nine types of personal configurations are
influenced by the last twenty years’ co-residence trajectories of the respon-
dents. Transition to parenthood and Conjugality trajectories are more fre-
quently associated with Extended conjugal personal configurations than
Parenthood trajectories. The type Conjugality is also more likely to be
