New ESR paper: In traditional Italy, income positively predicts parenthood for men/women, especially among high-income couples. This is at odds with classic sex-specialisation theory, implying high economic prerequisites/stratification of parenthood under rising childlessness doi.org/10.1093/esr/...

Really cool (and somewhat freighting) work on Gen AI use and highschool performance in China. Homework Scores rocket up, time spend doing homework collapses, then predictably exam scores are way down. Results show bimodal response ~75% see scores drop, the other 20-25% keep doing the work.

The Generative AI Learning Penalty: Evidence from Chinese Secondary Education

Using 30 months of panel data on 26,811 Chinese students in grades 7-12, we study how generative AI affects homework productivity and learning. The data combine

What’s happened to income-group gaps in parental spending on children in the U.S.? For the last 45 years, they just. keep. getting. wider. In a new @socarxiv.bsky.social working paper, I present updated evidence on trends in spending on childcare, education, and extracurricular activities.

Happy to see this finally out! Together with @fabriberna and Ilaria Lievore, we examine how university expansion among parents shapes their children’s academic achievement. Using data from 30 countries participating in 7 PISA waves, we uncover compelling results. Details in the thread!👇👇 1/6

Even in Denmark, cultural tastes are socially stratified. With some quite cool library data we find strong gradients by education and wealth - important as wealth is rarely studied in cultural stratification research doi.org/10.1093/esr/... OA: osf.io/ar2xc_v2/dow... @europeansocreview.bsky.social

October 1st we will publish the call for a funded PhD student to work @demosocupf.bsky.social in the project 'Unpacking the Puzzle of Child Poverty: Why Child Poverty Persists Despite Economic Recovery and Declining Inequality', funded by the Spanish Research Agency. Interested? Get in touch!

Project description: UNPACK departs from three empirical observations about child poverty. First, child poverty rates in Spain are consistently higher than would be expected by its economic development. Second, child poverty rates have not decreased with economic growth since the end of the Great Recession, while adult poverty rates do, even if slightly. Third, recent policy reforms targeted at combatting inequality and reducing poverty have resulted in improvements in employment and several welfare and equity indicators, but appear to have limited impact on child poverty reduction. High child poverty rates in Spain, and more widely Southern Europe, have been traditionally associated with weak labour markets and underdeveloped social protection systems that poorly target families with children. However, neither improving labour market prospects nor the introduction of new policy initiatives appear to impact child poverty rates. This project seeks to approach this puzzle by (a) further exploring child poverty trends in Spain and (Southern) Europe, (b) extending the literature on child poverty and labour markets with particular attention to poverty dynamics, and (c) analysing the design and outcomes of recent poverty reforms in Southern Europe targeted at reducing child poverty. In doing so, the project seeks to further our understanding of the determinants of disappointing child poverty trends in Spain and Europe, and elaborate relevant policy proposals

When we think rationally about the data we do have, we simply cannot say that migrants as a whole are more likely to commit crime than everyone else. We await better data. Until then, bad data and bad interpretations threaten to fill the void www.thetimes.com/article/72b6...

Does anyone know whether migrants really commit more crimes?

News reports suggest asylum seekers are more likely to break the law than people born in the UK — so what does the data show?
