I am looking for a postdoc to join my ERC StG project DIVREP to work on global, quantitative analyses of fertility and reproductive behaviour. The post is based in the Department of Sociology at the University of Oxford. Let me know if you have any questions. More details below👇

Soon to open offer for a *funded* PhD to study child poverty dynamics at @demosocupf.bsky.social @upf.edu If you have an interest in quantitative methods, social policy and child poverty this may be for you! Feel free to reach out for enquiries

Obrigada pelo entusiasmo Carlão! Na verdade utilizaram um dos meus artigos pra escrever a reportagem. Então entraram em contato comigo pra checar as informações se estavam corretas. Tô feliz que usaram o trabalho pra chamar atenção pra temática de relacionamentos LGB e mercado de trabalho.

Women’s economic independence and physical intimate partner violence (IPV) during separation A growing number of studies have addressed the issue of intimate partner violence (IPV). While some studies have shown that women’s economic independence reduces the risk of physical IPV, the empirica...

🚨 New paper out in @plosone.org w/ @lenacwt.bsky.social & Michaela Kreyenfeld!

How does women’s economic independence shape their risk of physical IPV during separation in Germany? We find that mothers with low education who are unemployed face the highest risk.

These patterns are largely explained by paid and unpaid labor divisions within couples—highlighting how relationship dynamics differently affect economic outcomes across identity groups.

Heterosexual women experience an earnings decline after marriage, while changes in earnings tied to relationships are minimal and non-significant for bisexual and lesbian women.

Cohabiting or married men generally earn more than single men—regardless of sexual identity.

But for gay men, this "relationship premium" only appears after marriage, not cohabitation.

In contrast, heterosexual and bisexual men see earnings gains after entering any co-residential relationship.

🌈 New Publication !!!

New pub! How do people view parental leave? It depends on gender and partner: mothers with husbands and single parents are viewed more favorably for taking longer leaves than fathers with wives, mothers with wives, and fathers with husbands
