"Adherence to masculinity norms strongly predicts men's labour supply, risk-taking, health behaviours, and support for authoritarian leadership."

Masculinity norms and their economic consequences

While economists have extensively studied gender norms affecting women, masculinity norms – the informal rules that guide and constrain the behaviours of boys and men – remain underexplored. This column reviews how such norms can shape economic outcomes in labour markets, health, education, households, and politics. Drawing on new survey data from 87,000 individuals across 70 countries, the authors show that adherence to masculinity norms strongly predicts men's labour supply, risk-taking, health behaviours, and support for authoritarian leadership.

damnit I hate to share a LinkedIn post but Mark nailed it

Pavel @spavel.bsky.social · Jun 29

Even linkedin gets it

Mark Butcher

1) Sandra used AI to write a report
2) Bill used AI to summarise the report
3) Bill used AI to write questions about the report
4) Sandra used AI to respond to the questions
5) Bill used AI to create a presentation about the report
6) Jane used AI to take notes from the presentation
7) Jane’s team used AI to summarise the notes she shared

No one wrote the report, no one ever read the report, no one understood the questions or the answers.

No business value was achieved

But but but AI adds business value

La brecha de género de las pensiones entre hombres y mujeres en España es una de las más altas de Europa

Cinco años después de alertar sobre la necesidad de aplicar una mirada de género al sistema de jubilación, la brecha entre hombres y mujeres sigue siendo muy significativa en España....
