Economic insecurity, housing costs, and weak family policies are getting in the way. Structural change is key. Joint work with @vferraretto.bsky.social, @raffaele-guetto.bsky.social, @rebeccasoldo.bsky.social & @agnese-vitali.bsky.social, as part of the WelFerPoli project.

New paper out in PRPR! Why do Italians end up having fewer kids, and later, than they want? Using new survey data we show that many Italians in reproductive age are falling short of their fertility desires— in either how many children they want or when they want them.⤵️

First in line, @rebeccasoldo.bsky.social shared her work on unmet fertility desires and subjective well-being in 🇮🇹 using the unique and ad-hoc WelFerPoli survey!
