I'm happy to share my first PhD paper on household structure dynamics in Ghana!😍

Our findings show no strong evidence on nuclear convergence - www.demographic-research.org/articles/vol...

I am grateful to my supervisors (Sarah Walters & @rebeccasear.bsky.social) and advisors for this amazing feat!

🚨 SNAP is under threat 🚨
Congress must protect families and stand firm against proposals that would increase hunger and economic precarity. #ProtectSNAP

States that adopted more generous SNAP policy options had:
* Large reductions in CPS reports;
* Fewer substantiated reports of all child maltreatment and particularly for neglect;
* Fewer foster care placements;
compared to states with less generous policies. (Johnson-Motoyama, 2022)

In New York, 2.9M people receive SNAP to help put food on the table. 30% of NY’s SNAP participants are children, and 31% are seniors or people with disabilities. Cuts to SNAP would increase hunger and harm the youngest and most vulnerable New Yorkers. Congress must keep #HandsOffSNAP.

@gabrielscheidecker.bsky.social this is a great and important paper. Hope to do similar work myself soon and it‘s encouraging to see others do this too!
