It was a great pleasure to present preliminary findings from my joint work w/ @valeriabordone.bsky.social @ageingsocvienna.bsky.social & @damianouccheddu.bsky.social in 🇧🇪. In this paper, we explore whether grandparents 👵🏻 might be cognitively disadvantaged 🧠 through their work-family life histories.

Happy to finally see in print the chapter on Mortality that I co-authored with @klarenpt.bsky.social 🥳 The report discusses key findings from Wave 2 of the LSAHP, the 1st panel survey of older adults in the Philippines 👇🏻 www.drdf.org.ph/lsahp-wave-2...
