My partner Radost has created fantastic visualizations of yesterday's Polish presidential election results — mapped by both population (~half of Poles live in cities) and territory.

A bill that would provide free contraception for women aged 18-25 had been submitted by one of the parties in Poland's ruling coalition.

“Conscious motherhood and equal access to contraception are the foundation of a modern and responsible state,” says Polska 2050.

The far-right Confederation party has submitted a resolution to Poland’s parliament condemning Israel’s “genocidal actions” in Gaza, as well as the “criminal terrorist attacks by Hamas”.

It has called on other parties to adopt the resolution in a vote.

We just spent 6 months to add 1 figure to this paper. Some people said, "Couples aren't prioritizing men's careers. Men just have better earnings opportunities when moving."

Earnings effects of moves for couples on the left, singles on the right. Negligible gap between single men and women.

Event study coefficients that show that men's earnings rise more than women's among couples following a cross-commuting zone move (left panels). The pattern is muted or reverses among single men and single women (right panels).

Very excited to announce that @srhayford.bsky.social, @lesja.bsky.social, and I will be guest-editing a special volume of @prpr-journal.bsky.social on "Contemporary Pronatalism in Demographic Context"! Submissions due March 1, 2026. link.springer.com/collections/...

Contemporary Pronatalism in Demographic Context
Participating journal: Population Research and Policy Review

Call for Papers

Low and declining birth rates across the world have consequences for countries’ population size and structure. Concerns over the potential economic effects of population aging have spurred many countries to engage in efforts to raise birth rates. At the same time, there is growing concern about the social and cultural causes and consequences of low birth rates. Pronatalism – an ideology based on the belief that birth rates are too low, and societies should work to raise them in the interest of economic productivity and cultural preservation – has re-emerged as an increasingly visible and powerful force across different settings. The dynamics of low fertility – such as fertility decline, postponement, and changing patterns of family formation – have been common topics in population science over the last 25 years, but pronatalism has received considerably less attention from the field.

This Special Issue will provide an opportunity for population scientists to contribute to the conversations about pronatalism throughout the world. We welcome critical, theoretical, descriptive, and empirical submissions that explicitly focus on some aspect of pronatalism. Further research is needed on the evidentiary base upon which pronatalism rests; the social, political, and cultural inspirations and implications of pronatalism; and the support for, and effects of, pronatalist policies. Evaluation of alternative approaches (besides raising birth rates) for addressing changes in population size and composition is also warranted. Submissions that discuss the causes and consequences of low fertility but do not directly engage with pronatalism fall outside of the scope of this issue.

Poland has launched a nationwide deposit-refund system for plastic and metal drinks containers, with the aim of increasing recycling.

A deposit will be added to the cost of such products, with the money paid back when the consumer returns the packaging.

Poland has announced the return of four historical items looted during WWII and missing until recently being spotted at auction.

Hundreds of thousands of artistic and scientific works disappeared during the German and Soviet occupations of Poland, and many remain unaccounted for.

For the Guardian, @turnbulldugarte.com and I discuss our research that clearly shows one thing: Labour's anti-immigration strategy will only strengthen Reform and weaken its own electoral prospects. It won't win voters back but ultimately normalizes the far right

Of all the horrors unleashed by Russia’s war, none cuts deeper than the abduction of children.

We will not rest until Ukraine’s children are home.

The EU will host a high-level international summit to bring the world's eyes to the fate of these children.
