35 Years of #Reunification
MPIDR Researchers Discuss the Demographic Situation in #Germany
Nicole Hiekel is Leader of the Research Group Gender Inequalities & Fertility @mpidr.bsky.social.
Full quote: www.demogr.mpg.de/go/reunification

Portrait of a woman with brown hair and a black top in front of a green background with text about German reunification and gender inequality. Her quote says: German reunification brought together two different traditions of balancing family and career. Even 35 years later, these differences persist. While women's participation in the labor market has increased overall, the unequal distribution of care work remains a key challenge.

💡[SPOTLIGHT] 💡Too Many Men, Too Few Women
Research by Henrik Schubert & @cdudel.bsky.social shows that regional partner markets —particularly the ratio of ♂️ to ♀️ in the relevant age & educational groups — significantly influence childlessness among men in Finland.

Don't you all just love how the journal production teams are like "PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR PROOF WITHIN 2 BUSINESS DAYS" and then take 3/4 business WEEKS to publish the paper? 😅

Angela Carollo @angelacar.bsky.social · Aug 7

I copy all comments of the reviewers and editors in a word document, and add very angry comments on my own - like "seriously?" and "this is stupid!".
Then I delete everything, but it helps me dealing with the actual revision :D AND in the end I admit that those revisions actually improved the work!

Ever listened to a beautiful song about leaving the land of convexity? 🎶🎵

We had the pleasure to enjoy Cynthia Rudin's song right after an already inspiring talk about ✨ amazing things that come from having many good models ✨
