Last Thursday in #Minneapolis, I gave a seminar at UMN School of Public Health on The #Menopause #Penalty (w/ @rginja.bsky.social P Persson & @bartonwillage.com)—showing how women’s health transitions affect economic outcomes + the benefits of menopause care.

📉 1️⃣st causal evidence based on large-scale admin data on how diagnosed menopause affect women’s work, wages & welfare receipt

💡More work is ongoing!

Thanks very much to all who donated!

These steps can help narrow Italy’s regional gaps and improve life chances for every child.

➡️ The geography of child disability is the geography of inequality — but new data can guide smarter policy.

The geography of child disability in Italy: new evidence from administrative data | Institute for Fiscal Studies
We present new evidence from unique administrative data on child disability in Italy, examining prevalence by geography and age.
ifs.org.uk

👶 Enhance early detection and intervention programmes in disadvantaged areas — early action changes life trajectories.
💶 Expand financial support for low-income families raising disabled children.
(7/n)

Policy lessons 🧩
🎯 Target resources and interventions in regions with higher disability rates — especially southern Italy.
🏥 Improve socio-economic and environmental conditions + strengthen healthcare quality and accessibility through specialist services & telemedicine.
(6/n)

🏥 Local context shapes children’s lives.
Higher disability rates appear where:
• economic vulnerability is high
• employment is low
• avoidable & infant mortality are higher
• families must travel for care (“health emigration”).
(5/n)

💰 Family income matters.
Children from the poorest families are almost twice as likely to be disabled as those in the richest deciles — even when using pre-birth parental earnings.
(4/n)

🧭 A clear North–South divide emerges and widens with age — also for more severe disabilities — a pattern that may reflect both later diagnosis in areas with weaker health systems and the cumulative effects of poorer living conditions in the South.
(3/n)

📍 For the first time, we provide a nationally representative map of child disability in Italy: 105,000 children (2.5%) are officially certified as disabled. (2/n)
