What do Europeans think about their public-private pension income mix? In our (@karendublin.bsky.social and Juan J Fernandez) new study in the Journal of European Social Policy, we analyse pension attitudes across 6 countries based on a novel survey: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

In the absence of adequate staff, the lion's share of the administrative burden of helping the elderly navigate SSA will fall on adult daughters, DILs, and female friends.

The war on the elderly, the war on lower income Americans, and the war on women are the same war.

My school @ucdpolitics.bsky.social has 2 positions (deadline Feb 21) one in Global Governance, one in Environmental Politics.

They're called "Ad Astra Fellows" but between you & me they're basically tenure-track posts. It's a good deal. You get a PhD line & annual €5000 research budget for 5 years.

TV is definitely post-2001. Why buy new stuff all the time when the existing stuff works? And if the furniture looks OK (to the beholder), why replace it?

Sorry to hear this---it always stings. Unfortunately, most of us try and then fail a few times before we finally land one. Your day will come!

To catch up. In the US, this means to chat and trade news with someone you haven't seen for a while.
In the UK and Ireland, it seems to mean any casual conversation, even with a new person.
