Time to birth for spontaneous and ART births among infertile groups - PubMed
While assisted reproductive technologies enable individuals facing infertility issues to achieve a live birth, they require more time to succeed. However, since the 2000s, time to ART births has decreased, with the shortest observed among those initiating conception attempts in their late thirties. …

💡 Time to ART birth decreased since the 2000s, and is shorter for those in their late 30s — likely reflecting improved treatment efficiency and faster access to care.

Labour markets are not absorbing the least educated workers. And that the largest earnings differentials by education level are observed among informal sector workers, indicating greater economic inequality within this sector.
Our results suggest that an increase in the proportion of formal sector workers is positively associated with individual earnings. Higher group proportions have the strongest positive associations with individual earnings for formal sector workers with secondary and university education.

In this paper - with Ernesto Amaral, Samantha Haussman and Guilherme Quaresma - we investigate, for Brazil, whether area level composition of workers by age, educational and formal-informal labor relations impact the wage levels of workers.

Last week UFMG hosted Semana do Conhecimento. In the event, students present the research they worked under the supervision of a faculty member.
Gustavo Freitas presented the project, with @vegardskirbekk.bsky.social, proposing an index of aging preparedness for countries in the world.
