@klararaiber.bsky.social and I wrote a paper and it is published now! In this study in @actasociologica.bsky.social, we investigate willingness to perform small caregiving tasks for neighbors. We show that anticipated reciprocity increases willingness but previous caregiving experience does not(1/2)

In a new article, Ramaekers and Raiber advances our knowledge of neighbour caregivers by examining the impact of anticipated reciprocity and previous (negative) caregiving experience. They indicate that neighbours can form a safety net for those who cannot rely on family. doi.org/10.1177/0001...

COVID has reduced the number of papers published by NL-based scholars, but it has not increased the gender gap. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Knowledge lost, parity gained? COVID-19 and gender gaps in Dutch academia - Scientometrics

We investigated the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacted long-standing gender inequalities in Dutch academia. Dutch academia is an ideal case to gain insight on exacerbated gender differentials due to COVID-19 on employees, because men and women face comparable institutional contexts and any COVID-19 impact becomes visible and measurable fast through potentially decreased yearly publications. We reconstructed the complete publishing careers up till 2022 of more than 8000 Dutch scientists who received a PhD from 1990 onwards and still had an active publication career before the pandemic started. We compared the publication dip between men and women during COVID-19. Our data allowed us to investigate whether the gendered impact of COVID-19 varied across research domains, different PhD cohorts and type of research output. We consistently find that COVID-19 did not have more severe consequences on research output for women than for men.

New paper out in @ssreditorial.bsky.social! A. Bertogg, @ppraeg.bsky.social and I find that cargiving is associated with better cognitive health - so some positive effect for a change

CREST Sociology@crestsociology.bsky.social · last yr.

NEW ARTICLE by CREST's @ppraeg.bsky.social in @ssreditorial.bsky.social: Dynamics of Later-Life Caregiving and Health. Insights From Biomarker Data and Cognitive Tests using @elsa-study.bsky.social Co-authored with Ariane Bertogg and @klararaiber.bsky.social OPEN ACCESS: doi.org/10.1016/j.ss...

Abstract As populations age and informal caregiving becomes more widespread, the health consequences of providing care are becoming a key concern for societies. Sociological theories of stress appraisal and role strain posit detrimental consequences to the health and wellbeing of caregivers. Conversely, role enhancement theory holds that caregiving can have positive health consequences. Using data from the English Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSA) collected among adults aged 50 years or older with a follow-up period of up to 20 years (2002–23, 88,225 observations of 20,217 respondents), we examine associations between transitions into and out of caregiving, and two key health outcomes which have been understudied as consequences of caregiving, namely: allostatic load and cognitive functioning. We estimate asymmetric fixed-effects models which model changes in health outcomes as a function of transitions into and out of caregiving while accounting for unobserved between-person heterogeneity. Our results show that caregiving is associated with better cognitive health for both men and women, but not with improved biomarker-based allostatic load. Results do not differ by caregiving intensity. Our findings provide support for role enhancement theory, suggesting that caregivers benefit in terms of cognitive functioning, even if a biomarker-based approach to measuring stress-related health outcome does not corroborate an overall health benefit. We formulate implications for policy-making and directions for future research.

This is the literal destruction of knowledge. Mississippi libraries are being ordered to remove academic research on race and gender from library databases. mississippitoday.org/2025/04/08/m...
