My time as a Work and Family Researchers Network Early-Career Fellow is soon coming to an end, and I’m very grateful for the academic care.

A huge thank you to @Nicole Denier and @yanghu.co.uk for creating such a thoughtful program! It was great to meet so many other fellows and hear their stories.

Here is a figure how much care and domestic work is transferred to others by all age groups (including young children): younger girls in high-fertility countries contribute more and at earlier ages journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1...

Anomalies & data problems are found in the Hungarian EU SILC income data from around year 2017. It is very likely that the data was manipulated to decrease the poverty rate.

Annamaria Tatrai and Andras Gabos conducted a very thorough investigation of the issue: www.valaszonline.hu/2025/04/01/e...

What are the patterns of non-transitional reproductive events (infertility, miscarriage, abortion)? Interesting results by age ang migration status by @passetwittig.bsky.social

Super interesting findings by @mvaldes1989.bsky.social about the within-country variation in the educational gradient on the timing of the transition to the first child in ES. Impact of edu on the timing of first child in each province is strongly correlated with the provinces’ GDPpc.

Happy to present at WIC2024 on the couple-level longitudinal approach of parental employment patterns in DE, 1990-2020. Findings show how relative resources within and between couples are associated with different employment and reproductive trajectories.
