Oriel Sullivan & Jamie Smith on suggested next steps ELiDDi - a new generalised time use survey. Using a mobile-first approach adaptable to other studies! #IATUR2026

Joeri demonstrating new ways to collect time-space data of remote working in MOTUS #IATUR2026 very interesting combination of time diaries, survey data, GPS information & EMA

@ugolachapelle.bsky.social on measuring commercial bicyclist injuries. Bicycle messengers are more experienced and food delivery cyclists tend to be transitory. 40-50% experience an injury & 7% experience severe injuries, mainly due to environmental conditions (e.g. traffic/ potholes) #IATUR2026

@melissamilkie.bsky.social & Liana Sayer on gender & social class inequalities in parents leisure quantities & qualities 2003-2025 #IATUR2026 fathers have >1 hour leisure than mothers across all periods, but higher proportion of that leisure is on screen time, or leisure alone

Jihye Kim on gendered norms & child labour using Indian Time Use Survey 2024. 4.9% children are child labourers, with an increase in working hours between 2019 and 2024. Girls, OBC & ST children are more likely to be child labourers #IATUR2026

Marta Marszalek: latest Polish TUS linked with public health data to assess gender inequalities in sports/outdoor activity & unmet healthcare needs. Women & manual labourera are more vulnerable. Sports is gendered & those engaged do it for enjoyment, but those who don't lack free time #IATUR2026

@ugolachapelle.bsky.social Does telework-induced activity fragmentation lead to a temporal reorganisation of demand for commercial and public services in Canada? Teleworkers do have specific work schedules, are more fragmented, & engage more frequently in service activities #IATUR2026

Jacek on household time allocation & the shadow price of time (accounting for opportunity cost of time). He tests this using Polish TUS & the household budget survey. There is a near 1:1 substitution in market & hh production time. More resources do not buy more leisure #IATUR2026

Happy Friday, it is coming up to Week 0 in Oxford, and I am ready for the work, to meet my cool colleagues again, and embracing autumn! 🎃Also the chaos of trying to apply for as many small grants as possible, of course! My small solace is that it's mid-autumn festival next Monday🥮

📝💡 New research by Prof @manyeekan.bsky.social & Dr @gczching.bsky.social finds that teenage girls spend more time on domestic work than boys - with the largest gender gaps found in Western societies, though still pronounced in East Asia. 🔗 www.sociology.ox.ac.uk/article/stud...

#HappyFriday! Happy that my paper with @manyeekan.bsky.social is out! www.demographic-research.org/articles/vol... Can I also say the managing editor for DR is incredibly nice, efficient, and patient!

@manyeekan.bsky.social and I show distinct time use patterns of 10-17 yo in Japan, Korea, UK, and Finland across 3 decades. Persistent 🚺🚹 gaps in East Asia reflect adult gender inequality, but gender gaps in domestic work are not nec smaller in more gender equal ctrys @sociologyoxford.bsky.social

I have been getting in touch with Malaysian researchers to understand their expertise and thoughts surrounding fieldwork and surveys with adolescents, and am really touched at how they go out of their way to advice & share their experiences, often quoting "Anything for the nation" #midweekmotivation

📢 Don’t miss NatCen’s Better Start Annual Report Webinar! Hear from leading researchers incl. Mary McKaskill, Thea Schei, Natasha Phillips, Janet Boddy, Beth Young & Makenzie Uglow on what works to improve outcomes for children + families. 🔗 natcen.ac.uk/events/bette...

@ruhuama.bsky.social presented her findings about gender ideologies in China and the likelihood of marriage. Women who are more gender equal are less likely to marry, even after controlling for financial situations. For men, this relationship is less pronounced. @bspsuk.bsky.social #bsps2025

I was really happy to host the gender ideologies session, and do the first presentation of our work using the UK GGS on gendered division of labour and gender ideologies on wellbeing with @matthewhluo.bsky.social @bspsuk.bsky.social #bsps2025 @sociologyoxford.bsky.social

@mortenkthomsen.bsky.social discusses about intersex population and age-specific mortality using admin data from Denmark. Compared to endosex men, there is higher risk of mortality for intersex men in early years, and this risk decreases in later years @bspsuk.bsky.social #bsps2025

Binnaz on dating, sexual attitudes & behaviour of students in Turkey. Queer students are more likely to agree that casual dating is normal, & are more likely to disagree on patriarchal dating statements @bspsuk.bsky.social #bsps2025

@annacaprinali.bsky.social examines whether higher education relates to higher partnership among LGB people. They find that there is no benefit of higher education. Gay/lesbian also have slower transition into a first cohabitation. @bspsuk.bsky.social #bsps2025

Honorata in estimating Europe's non-binary population using the ESS. Non-binary are less likely to be married and have children, and more likely to report having received discrimination @bspsuk.bsky.social #bsps2025

Midanna about narrative and framings around contraceptive use amount individuals, healthcare workers & decision makers in Malawi. Contraception use is framed to bring health benefits, fertility decision making and poverty reduction, raise women's education @bspsuk.bsky.social #bsps2025

@selinkoksal.bsky.social discusses miscarriage reporting & variation in UK surveys. Definitions are unclear, social desirability bias & issues in recognising pregnancy. Discrepancies potentially due to framing effect, or potentially cohort effects @bspsuk.bsky.social #bsps2025 @soc-misc.bsky.social

MC Compans @soc-misc.bsky.social examines factors for care seeking behaviours after miscarriages. Youngest and oldest women, women in larger towns are less likely to seek hospital care. Questions accessibility, supply of medical care, and medical preferences @bspsuk.bsky.social #bsps2025

Yujia on comparative APC effects on gender division of paid and unpaid work. Between 1985-2020, the gap in paid and unpaid work have significantly narrowed except for Japan. Gender gaps narrow across cohorts, but with some exceptions. Inverted U shape across age. @bspsuk.bsky.social #bsps2025

Shiyi examines how working from home shapes couple's housework division over time. Men working from home ⬇️ women's housework, but mainly pre-Covid, & among women with higher bargaining power. Changes are still task specific (e.g. cooking). Might show bargaining power @bspsuk.bsky.social #bsps2025
