Why Leisure Time is an Act of Radical Feminist Resistance In a world where a woman’s work is never done, perhaps the biggest form of rebellion is taking time for ourselves.

Women with care duties have very little "pure” leisure to themselves. Often, it is spent w/ kids. Early time-use researchers—all men—initially coded child care as leisure. They assumed women were at home having fun with the kids. @brigidschulte.bsky.social www.thepersistent.com/women-leisur...

You’re probably richer than you think because of the safety net – but you’d have more of that hidden wealth if you lived in Norway The typical worker on the verge of retirement is due roughly $412,000 in this under-the-radar wealth.

Social Security, unemployment insurance and child tax credits are in a sense assets that aren’t usually counted up when discussing wealth and #inequality. A sociologist explains how these benefits are worth far more in countries like Norway: buff.ly/NkctZvA By @robertmanduca.bsky.social @umich.edu

A growing body of fertility research focuses on uncertainty as a key contributor to fertility decision making and behaviors. In this paper, we identify and describe multiple components of uncertainty in fertility goals that, when analyzed together and in relation to macro-level trends, provide critical insight into fertility dynamics. Drawing from multiple streams of research on fertility goals and behaviors, we focus on (i) goal uncertainty, (ii) realization uncertainty, and (iii) intensity of goals. We use data from the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) 2002–2019 to estimate trends and patterns of these three dimensions of uncertainty in fertility goals, with a focus on variation across the life course and inequality by education and income. We link uncertainty in fertility goals with the quantum and timing of fertility intentions among U.S. women. The results show that realization uncertainty is pervasive, with up to 50% of women who intend children being uncertain whether they will actually follow through with those intentions, and intensity of intentions is low, with up to 25% of childless women who intend children saying that they would not be bothered if they did not have a child. Although goal uncertainty is overall stable across the study period, young and childless women show increasing realization uncertainty over time and hold their positive intentions less intensely. More socioeconomically advantaged women exhibit higher realization certainty and greater intensity of their goals. Women who are more certain of realizing their positive intentions and those who hold them more intensely report a higher number of additional intended children and a shorter time frame for future childbearing. We conclude by situating these findings in a broader climate of increasing uncertainty.

Another new publication, and, yes, it's on fertility intentions!

Click and read what my awesome advisor and other experts are saying about policies/ discourse to increase birth rates in the US. (Almost all comments also apply to today’s fertility rate discussions in Turkey as well)

From Doing Business to B-READY: World Bank’s new rankings represent a rebrand, not a revamp The World Bank has long sought to replace it’s annual index that fell to scandal in 2021. But a new replacement repeats some of the flaws.

After the ‘Doing Business’ scandal, the World Bank is back with B-READY — a new index ranking nations that promises transparency, inclusion and sustainability.

Is it a real reform? Experts worry that this latest effort risks recreating many of the same flaws from before.

Health insurer Blue Cross Blue Shield just adopted a policy that will force many people with serious asthma and allergy conditions to self-inject vital medications at home.

The move raises risks for patients while cutting costs for the insurance giant.
