Excited to finally share my new paper (w/Raphaël Charron-Chénier) out in BJS! Staying Apart for the Kids looks at how older adults consider preserving family wealth in their new relationships. Drawing on my interviews with mid/late-life daters, we show how accumulated wealth shapes dating decisions.

In child nutrition research, we talk about the first 1,000 days—from conception through age 2—as an absolutely critical period for child development. Sustained undernutrition in útero and as babies and toddlers has largely irreversible negative health impacts that last a lifetime.

‼️New #Debate out in @vypr.bsky.social! Jesús García-Gómez, Juan Galeano and Albert Esteve discuss how national-level data can obscure important internal diversity, leading to misleading conclusions about demographic patterns 👇🔗https://austriaca.at/?arp=0x0040760c§0x00407608 @oeaw.bsky.social

More than 9,000 studies, reports, & book chapters published based on 400+ DHS surveys that were conducted in 91 countries, according to our bibliometric analysis (by @aasli.bsky.social). The termination could set the global research community back for years or even decades. osf.io/preprints/so...

Who gets the privilege of free time? Across Europe, fathers enjoy more leisure time than mothers, especially in Southern and Eastern countries. New research across 13 countries shows persistent gender gaps in parental leisure. www.demographic-research.org/articles/vol...

Another piece of my PhD thesis is now published in International Migration Review! How many immigrants get transnationally separated from their children in the migration process, and how does this affect their mental health in the short- and medium- term? Check it out 👇 doi.org/10.1177/0197...

We already know of over 1,000 student visa terminations. The true number is likely significantly higher. Very few have anything to do with pro-Palestinian advocacy. The overwhelming majority seem to be the result of automated terminations for any contact with law enforcement, no matter how minor.

“Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic,” they said. “That means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice and a third, a fourth. Then what happens?”

Even in one-person households, gender disparities in housework remain — gendered behaviors exist beyond traditional family dynamics in all countries. www.demographic-research.org/articles/vol...

A sneak peek of the Global Living Arrangements Database (GLAD) I'm working on these days. At the rate at which the US is deteriorating, maybe this is the last data we see from this country. #demography #rstats #data #population #US

Since Reagan, the US has intentionally undercounted homelessness and hidden its structural roots. So, workers and their kids are sleeping in cars and motels but aren't officially counted as unhoused and are scorned for "bad choices" they're presumed to have made. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/01/o...

🚨The 2nd chapter of my thesis was just published in Studies in Family Planning! Together with Ewa Batyra and Albert Esteve, we find that counteracting fertility and child mortality dynamics contribute to stable levels of out-fostering in Senegal. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

A little joy in what's shaping up to be a rough week (month? year(s)?): A new paper in DR! We use interview, GIS, and survey data to look at kinship and child fostering, thinking about spatiality and transitions over time. I'm dreaming of data that would let us do this on a larger scale! #demography

Gerüchte, dass Theo Müller Verbindungen ins Rechte Lager habe, gab es ja schon länger. Nun hat er seinen Kontakt zur AFD bestätigt. Zur gleichnamigen Unternehmensgruppe Müller gehören Firmen wie Müllermilch, Landliebe und Weihenstephan. Ich finde, das solltet ihr wissen. #NoAfD #WehretDenAnfängen

Was mich zur Zeit sehr beschäftigt: Parteiübergreifend und in vielen Medien werden im Rahmen der migrationspolitischen Debatte Grund- und Menschenrechte als Lappalie bezeichnet oder offen infragegestellt. Das rührt an die Grundfesten der Demokratie. Ein paar Beispiele im 🧵
