Happy Friday, it is coming up to Week 0 in Oxford, and I am ready for the work, to meet my cool colleagues again, and embracing autumn! 🎃Also the chaos of trying to apply for as many small grants as possible, of course! My small solace is that it's mid-autumn festival next Monday🥮

📝💡 New research by Prof @manyeekan.bsky.social & Dr @gczching.bsky.social finds that teenage girls spend more time on domestic work than boys - with the largest gender gaps found in Western societies, though still pronounced in East Asia.

@manyeekan.bsky.social and I show distinct time use patterns of 10-17 yo in Japan, Korea, UK, and Finland across 3 decades. Persistent 🚺🚹 gaps in East Asia reflect adult gender inequality, but gender gaps in domestic work are not nec smaller in more gender equal ctrys
