1/5 Is there a gender wealth gap in Canada? In my latest paper with Mamadou Diallo and @dianapenaruiz.bsky.social, we provide some answers. We also compare gender wealth gaps across provinces and over time to assess whether Québec’s adoption of a family policy reduced these gaps. rdcu.be/eOvwS 🧵

Research from ASA members Yu Xie and Junming Huang @princeton.edu illustrates how China is attracting scholars, especially in STEM fields, in the wake of the administration’s funding cuts and immigration restrictions in this @washingtonpost.com article.
Why Trump’s cuts to scientific research are a big win for China
China is attracting American scientific talent, especially in STEM fields, partly due to funding cuts and immigration restrictions under President Donald Trump.

Having children is a commitment to the future.
And too many people don’t feel secure enough about their lives now or in the future to make that commitment and have the children they’d like.

And until we address that issue, birth rates are unlikely to increase. My op-ed in @newsweek.com.
Low Birth Rates Are Here To Stay | Opinion
Individuals and families need to be supported by a strong social safety net that includes paid leave and a robust child care infrastructure. There are no quick fixes.
