The ContraIndex quantifies net benefits = returns – labor.
Results for 22 contraceptive methods show large variation:
🔹 Fertility monitor (+47)
🔹 Pill (+25)
🔹 Hormonal IUD (+8)
🔻 Hormone implant (–11)
🔻 Morning-after pill (–24)
[Scale: –100 = max. labor, 100 = max. returns]

Which contraceptive methods involve most labor vs. greatest returns?
High-return methods (like hormonal IUDs) often require more labor, while low-labor ones (like withdrawal) yield fewer benefits.
🟣 Pill, IUD, and sterilization = high cost
🟢 Condoms = more balanced

🚨 New preprint out
We propose the ContraIndex, a novel tool to measure contraceptive labor and returns.
Why does it matter? Bc both partners benefit from contraception - but women bear the cost: from choosing methods to managing side effects.

Repost @FReDA: Wer trägt die Last der #Verhütung?
Studie von @kfirl.bsky.social, @nrmllr.bsky.social & T. Nutz mit #FReDA-Daten:
➡️ Frauen leisten die meiste Verhütungsarbeit – emotional, körperlich & organisatorisch.
📊 Das gilt auch bei höherem Einkommen oder Bildung.

The decrease in hormonal (vs. non-hormonal) contraception among contracepting women can be found for three different birth cohorts using the pairfam data: projectcontraception.github.io/posts/2023-1... @theresanutz @katrinfirl @tagesschau.bsky.social #sociology #socialinequality #genderinequality
