¿Por qué movilizar 23.000 millones de inversión privada para vivienda en vez de usar los 60.000 millones en créditos blandos del Next Generation EU a los que se quiere renunciar? Respuesta corta: para que la banca haga negocio 🧵 www.democrata.es/economia/san...

Recordad a la hora de interpretar resultados, poner el grito en el cielo o entonar canticos: MARGEN DE ERROR de 2pp, es decir, estamos igual.

Por nacionalidad, el contraste es muy marcado. Atentos al cambio de escala: el eje de ordenadas llega al 70%, no al 50% como en los anteriores.

So much of GOP policy is based on claims that don't hold up to evidence: - exporters pay for tariffs - taxing [b/m]illionaires makes them move - immigrants reduce native-born wages, get more in welfare than pay in taxes - work requirements save taxpayer money - trickle-down econ helps working class

We’d like to believe that effort matters to what we attain in life. In fact our belief in meritocracy depends on that. But what if how much effort people spend itself depends on your social background? “The Social Origins of Effort: How Incentives Reduce Socioeconomic Disparities among Children”

Another study showing proximity and contact with refugees leads to more favorable views of immigrants and greater opposition to anti-immigrant parties. academic.oup.com/ej/article/1...

"Acabar con la pobreza infantil es una decisión política" agendapublica.es/noticia/2051... @platdeinfancia.bsky.social

Muy contento de haber podido colaborar. Esto debería ser una prioridad de país: cuenta con apoyo transversal potencial, es económicamente viable con un calendario razonable, puede partir de instrumentos ya existentes, tiene probada eficacia en otros países y ahorra costes sociales futuros.

Poverty-concerned academics and policy makers looking for some positive outlook may want to (re)read Jenkins 2019 paper Perspectives on Poverty in Europe. Following in Tony Atkinson’s Footsteps (OA) which incidentally is also a great lecture on measurement & policy link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Tremendo. Y las grandes preguntas: ¿Cómo nuestro sistema "de excelencia" ha permitido todo esto durante décadas a pesar de los reiterados avisos? ¿Cómo lo va a hacer para garantizar que no pueda suceder de nuevo? www.lavanguardia.com/vida/2025121...

La precariedad laboral y los precios de la vivienda disparan el número de personas sin hogar en dos años. Consulta aquí el informe de la APDHA.

The issue is that a woman working full time on a decent salary cannot afford rent on a one bed flat and the cost of childcare to allow her to work THAT’S what should be being called out But the RW media don’t want people questioning THAT Better to vilify those struggling to make ends meet 8/

1/ Does growing up poor always lead to political apathy? Very happy to share my first paper published (open access) in @electoralstudies.bsky.social, where I show that parents' influence mitigates the poverty gap in participation, while economic mobility does not. 🔗 shorturl.at/p5Bac

“what allowed poverty to fall in that period was not in fact the rise in work, but investment in social security benefits for families both in and out of work” blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandp...

💻 Laptops are great, but not during class. 💻 Laptops are the standard in classrooms. This needs to change. New meta-analysis of 24 experiments shows that handwriting will lead to higher grades for students. So this 2017 NYTimes op-ed by @dynarski.bsky.social is even truer today.

El Gobierno estudia una prestación universal por crianza que ya tiene la mayoría de países de la UE @platdeinfancia.bsky.social elpais.com/sociedad/202...

Adoptar una prestación universal por crianza no «cuesta mucho dinero». Lo que nos cuesta mucho dinero es una élite económica haciendo ingeniería fiscal para no pagar lo que le toca. elpais.com/economia/202...
