Research on the trajectories of couples shows quite consistently that the birth of the first child leads to a transformation of the family structure towards a more traditional model whose key aspect seems to be the unilateral reduction of the professional insertion of women. The more or less egalitarian beliefs of the partners hardly seem to play a role. This interdisciplinary project aims to clarify why and how this transformation is taking place. It follows, in three waves, a panel of 300 couples for a year and a half, from the 4th or 5th month of the big until the age of 1 year of the child in the canton of Vaud.
