Planet vs. Parenthood?
When the future feels apocalyptic, family planning becomes a moral dilemma?
We show that more climate change news + feeling you’re not doing enough = fewer first births

My collaboration with @lukaszbaszczak.bsky.social presented at @usociety.bsky.social conference on
Political identity and fertility!
Together with @ewaweychert.bsky.social we show that people are more likely to have a child during periods when the ruling party is the party they support.
It hints that childbearing decisions are based on narratives of the future, including political ones.

My first PhD article has been published!

🔎 It examines how the relationship between flexible working time arrangements and self-reported work-to-life and life-to-work conflict is moderated by an (un)equal domestic labor distribution within heterosexual couples.

🚫 Fertility fallacies busted!
Our Director @melindacmills.bsky.social joined @lbc.co.uk to challenge myths:
1️⃣ Young ppl aren’t choosing fewer kids
2️⃣ Pronatalist policies won’t fix it
📉 Incentives ≠ long-term fertility boost

The fertility fallacy: Five things you didn’t know about global fertility rates
UNITED NATIONS, New York – “Do you want kids?” Every day, people around the world ask themselves, and others, this question. But it also begs another: “Do you feel able to have children
