we show that

1/2 per se, employment uncertainty experienced in one’s social location and country context is not substantially associated with the probability of having a child

Parole di cura: 𝗽𝗮𝘇𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘇𝗮.
Dal latino patiens, "che sopporta”.

Per le persone che stiamo intervistando, la pazienza è il tempo che diamo agli altri ed essere pazienti non significa essere forti sempre: significa restare presenti, anche quando manca la forza.
