New paper by @larabister.bsky.social, @peibich.bsky.social, @robertarutigliano.bsky.social using admin data on how parental leave reforms in Germany impacted women's leave length. They find significant influences on uptake for women with strong labor market attachment. 👇 🔗 tinyurl.com/d3pccpk8
My research group Gender Inequalities and Fertility @mpidr.bsky.social happily hosted Dr. Elena Bastianelli today who presented fascinating findings from a vignette study on the changing family ideals in Italy and Spain.
We have worked on this study since the early days of my PhD, and I am so happy to see it published! Some changes are impressive: among the 1980s cohort, the probability of not being parent by age 35 is 44% among men and 26% among women (all over EU). ⤵️ www.demographic-research.org/articles/vol...

1979: Am Int. Frauentag demonstrieren in Teheran Zehntausende Frauen gegen das Verschleierungsgebot ("Wir haben nicht eine Revolution gemacht, um rückwärts zu gehen!"). Das Regime gibt zunächst nach, erneuert das Gebot später aber. Strafe bei Verstoß: bis zu 74 Peitschenhiebe.

A lot going on in this world but I’m glad someone is finally speaking out about the violence of the literature review 👏🏻
The EAPS working group on Child and Adolescent Development will be hosting a Masterclass for early career researchers before the EPC conference in Edinburgh, June 12th. Abstract deadline March 1st. A great opportunity for those working on childhood, and broadly within a demography perspective.
