📚 Our paper on employer’s perceptions of workers taking parental leaves: we find hiring & pay penalties for fathers taking (longer) leave and rewards for mothers taking shorter leave. #IPC2025 @amatysiak.bsky.social @ewa-cukrowska.bsky.social @gaylekaufman.bsky.social @labfam.bsky.social

Millions of Poles tuned in to watch their country's first-ever appearance at the Women's Euro this month. The tournament "has changed the perception of women’s football in the country forever", writes Joanna Wiśniowska for @theguardian.com.

🚨 Are young women becoming more left-wing & young men more right-wing? We analyzed 32 European countries (1990–2023). 📊 Some show growing gaps—others don’t. 📊 Gaps tend to be bigger where gender equality is higher. w/ @hudde.bsky.social 👉 doi.org/10.1093/esr/...

It’s publication day for The Penguin Book of Polish Short Stories. It took 39 authors 100 years to write, and me about 4 years to compile and translate, with the help of 11 other translators. It aims to show the variety and brilliance of modern Polish literature.

What happens to women when they are denied an abortion? Short run: their risk of death rises. A full 15 years later, they experience: more health issues, lower attainment, reduced labor-force participation, higher single motherhood, higher poverty, + greater government assistance

"Sir Gareth Southgate has expressed his concern that 'callous, manipulative and toxic influencers' are taking the place of traditional father figures in society and contributing to mental health issues among young men."

🚨🔍 New research on Russian public opinion! Despite sanctions, political turmoil & economic strain, many Russians remain surprisingly optimistic about the war. Why? My latest study unpacks this paradox & what it reveals about authoritarian resilience. 🧵👇 (1/4) 🔗 doi.org/10.1080/1478...

New article by me! It's a common mistake to think the TFR is a prediction of the average number of children women will have over their lifetimes. But it's not. The TFR can decline even when the eventual number of children per woman stays constant or even increases; the opposite can happen too. 🧵

Poland's population in 2020 was 38M, the same as in 1990. Below-replacement fertility reduced it by 5.6M over this period, but gains in life expectancy and a young initial age structure offset the decline. #demography #fertility #Poland #Migration Source: osf.io/preprints/so...

“Poland’s ambitious “Family 500+” program offered substantial monthly payment to families with children. While the program modestly increased overall fertility in the short-term, its effects varied significantly by age and income” www.niussp.org/fertility-an...

Peer-reviewed research indicates something else regarding Finland: "To conclude, while changing union dynamics provide a partial explanation, postponing or foregoing fertility within unions represents the primary reason for the fertility decline." link.springer.com/article/10.1...

The rise in retailers using gig apps to hire workers as freelancers rather than staff is extremely worrying. Shop workers end up losing out on significant employment rights. It's good to see these firms listening to our advice and ending their use of the practice.
