The application shows that US lifespan inequity declined faster than in other countries until the 1970s, but stagnated afterwards, resulting in the highest levels by the 2010s. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated lifespan inequity in the US more than in other countries.

Menschen sind mobiler und interethnische Partnerschaften nehmen daher zu. Eine Studie aus Deutschland zeigt: In bestimmten Konstellationen kann das beim Partner oder der Partnerin mit Migrationshintergrund zu mehr Konflikten mit den Eltern führen.

Bildungsausgaben nicht zurückschrauben, auch wenn die Geburtenraten sinken: Eine neue Studie zeigt für Finnland, dass die Rentenausgaben niedriger sind (u.a. aufgrund von höheren Beschäftigungsquoten), wenn pro Kopf mehr in Bildung investiert wird.

The results show that women are less socially integrated, especially in Southern & Eastern Europe. This is presumably due to their role as primary caregivers, which can limit their options for social activities outside familial bonds.

The findings reveal that loneliness is negatively associated with both current and future memory performance. Specifically, an increase of one point on the loneliness scale corresponds to an average decrease of 0.6 words recollected in the memory test.
