Today, Manuel Bagues (@warwickecon.bsky.social) presented “Friends in Childhood and the Gender Equality Paradox”, coauthored with N. Zinovyeva (Warwick).
They show that children in richer, more equal societies have fewer opposite-sex friends. Evidence suggests household income as the key driver.

A.Chevalier (@royalholloway.bsky.social) presented "When Parents Work from Home", joint work w. P.Achard (@crestsociology.bsky.social) & @michelebelot.bsky.social (@cornelluniversity.bsky.social). They find a positive effect of parental right to work from home on children's educational attainments.

We are hiring an education researcher to join the @capolicylab.bsky.social and @berkeleycshe.bsky.social teams. You'll work on projects using administrative data relating to California higher education. Here's more information: capolicylab.org/careers/rese...
