- Great article about fertility in South Korea. That motherhood penalty 😳 worksinprogress.co/issue/two-is...

- Anything close to full time or at all in many cases 🙁 haven’t checked the most recent update on the classic „a child suffers when the mother is working“ indicator in a while but I suspect no surprises there
- I had to look up how it compares to Germany (yellow) - and I wasn’t disappointed… or, well, very disappointed, but proven right. childpenaltyatlas.org/event-studie...

- New #dataviz in @sociusjournal.bsky.social: how closely linked are motherhood penalties🤰💶📉 and gender inequalities 👨💼👩💼 in local labour markets in 🇫🇷 and 🇩🇪? Link btw♀️ ♂️earnings gap and 🤰 penalty holds across borders,but is even stronger within countries 🧵👇 w/ @sanderwagner.bsky.social,P Achard,I Amend
- New article out in @sociusjournal.bsky.social. It shows how closely linked motherhood penalties 🤰📉 and gender inequalities 👨💼💰👩💼 are by studying many local labour markets. Thread 👇 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

- Thank you, glad you like it
- Been tweaking color palettes for hours? 🎨🧑🎨📊 Same. This package looks like a shortcut so we can go back chasing typos that break the code #dataviz #rstats
- 💡 Came across this nice tool today: 🎨 qualpal for algorithmically choosing maximally distinct colors under certain restrictions #dataviz JOSS paper, online tool, R package #rstats joss.theoj.org/papers/10.21...
- Access the paper here: 📜🔗 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... And find the replication code 💻🗃️🔗 osf.io/47nzk (all data is accessible to researchers!) #rstats #sociology #demography

- I didn’t mean to single out PIs, I totally understand that salaries and conditions are often outside their control. My gripe is really with the broader system that makes these offers possible and a real option for applicants.

- 💯 Just saw some offers like “fully funded position with 20–30k € salary in a European capital with a brutal housing market.” I get that this isn’t (only) the PI’s fault - but honestly, that’s more of a trap than a job.
- Big update for one of the rockstar #rstats packages 📦 🌠 Running fixed effects models has never been easier (and fun)! 📊💻✨ #sociology #demography
- #rstats #econsky fixest v0.13.0 is finally out! It's still about making OLS and GLM estimations easy. Some major changes: - *default* VCOV becomes iid always! - singletons are removed by default! See all the changes here: github.com/lrberge/fixe...
- You can use round() to get to tens, hundreds etc. #rstats 🤯 This is so cool!
- TIL that you can also round to tens or hundreds, or larger numbers, by specifying a negative "digits" argument in round(). #Rstats

- I’m (still) trying to get used to harsh reviewer comments, but I definitely wasn’t prepared for our paper and code to be called spam by osf.io & @socarxiv.bsky.social … #sociology #codesharing #iknowthecodeaintpretty

- I completely understand-this wasn’t meant as a dunk on anyone working hard to keep SocArxiv running. I can only imagine the flood of AI slop you’re dealing with these days. I just found it a bit funny to have my repo flagged as spam after polishing it a few times. All resolved now. Thank you!
- Maybe AI might fix my inserted table that refuses to stay put - or the table of contents that goes rogue every time I update a heading 📝 🖥️💨🪟

- So sehr ich „strukturell etwas anzupassen“ unterstütze: es ist eine unmittelbare Verschlechterung, die allen weh tut, die gerne mit Kindern Bahn fahren. Das kann man schon direkt anprangern finde ich, auch weil die zusätzlichen Einnahmen doch überschaubar sein dürften.
- Excited & honored to present at @oxforddemsci.bsky.social next Tuesday! Can’t wait to visit one of the superstar hubs of #demography and discuss our work on parenthood and employment in 🇫🇷 and 🇩🇪 —looking forward to the feedback and conversations!

- Absolutely! I like the conclusion by @mcollischon.bsky.social - while mini-jobs *theoretically* could be a stepping stone, empirical reality does not support this idea.
- I would agree - both on the article and the thesis
- Are subsidized mini-jobs an entry door or a trap for mothers’ careers? New and comprehensive paper on how mothers’ employment and earnings evolve when taking up subsidized mini-jobs after childbirth.
- New paper with Kamila Cygan-Rehm (@tudresden.bsky.social) and Regina T. Riphahn (@fauwiso.bsky.social) out now in Socio-Economic Review (@sasemeeting.bsky.social)! We investigate how Minijobs (subisidized small jobs) affect motherhood penalties in the long run 1/13
- Glad to see @iabnews.bsky.social here 🦋👋 Give them a follow for updates on current labour market research! 📈📊📉
- 😳 Crazy news! Very sad to hear that @iza.org will “discontinue operations” newsroom.iza.org/en/archive/n...
- Devastating news that @iza.org is effectively closing down 😔 It was (or at the moment, is) a wonderful institute and the network was tremendously helpful in dissaminating work in labour economics. IZA will sorely be missed 😢 So sorry for all IZA employees!
- Solche Bekenntnisse sind richtig, aber unter Strich heißt es nach 6 Jahren: you‘ve reached your #Befristungshöchstdauer - für die berufliche Zukunft wünschen wir alles Gute! 👋✌️🚪💨 #IchBinHanna #WissZeitVG + WissFreiheit ist wichtig, auch wenn sie kein Standortvorteil wäre!
- Liebe @deutsche-bahn.bsky.social, der Grund für die Verspätung ist nicht „der Rollstuhlfahrer“, sondern dass ihr einfach vollkommen ungenügende Fahrzeuge einsetzt und kein anständiges Konzept für Barrierefreiheit auf die Reihe bekommt #bahn #inklusionhatverspätung #trävelling

- New working paper with P Achard, C Frodermann, D Müller & @sanderwagner.bsky.social:using harmonized admin data for #France & #Germany, we study the stratification of maternal employment in 🇫🇷 and 🇩🇪 based on higher pre-birth income, education, and firm-level median earnings. #sociology #demography
- Overall, employment reduction following childbirth is smaller in 🇫🇷 than in 🇩🇪, but stratification is larger in 🇫🇷 than in 🇩🇪. Differences are pre-birth income > education > firm-level earnings. Finally, we don't a pattern reduction = less stratification within local labour markets (NUTS-2).
