A note for newcomers: Welcome! This is a weekly round-up of newly published research on demography, family policy, and other family stuff. Some of the studies included here may be pre-prints or working papers and have not yet been peer reviewed. And while I have done my best to summarize their findings accurately, in the words of Ebenezer Scrooge, “I am a mortal, and liable to fall.” In other words, I hope you brought a pinch of salt with you.
Hello everyone,
In under the wire! This newsletter is probably going to continue coming kind of late in the week for a little while, because: baby. We’ll get back on track eventually. Maybe. Remember, two pinches of salt as I am now not only, per the disclaimer above, “mortal and liable to fall,” but also postpartum and tired and distracted by how cute my little guy is.
