Tl;dr: educated mums spend 25% of the 5yrs following first birth on parental leave for subsequent kids. So how you measure outcomes on PL matters, a lot!

Birth timing and spacing: Implications for parental leave dynamics and child penalties
Estimates of the impact of having children on labour market outcomes can differ significantly depending on whether a parent is categorised as employed or non-employed during parental leave. This column uses data from Denmark to explore how parental leave dynamics relate to the timing and spacing of births and subsequent labour market outcomes. The findings reveal notable disparities in birth timing and spacing based on maternal education levels. These dynamics complicate the estimation of the child penalty and its effects on gender gaps in labour market outcomes.

If this is true, researchers at the CDC are no longer allowed to use terms such as ‘gender’, ‘transgender’, and ‘LGBT’ in their research — land of the free, indeed.
BREAKING NEWS: CDC orders mass retraction and revision of submitted research across all science and medicine journals. Banned terms must be scrubbed.
Goes beyond MMWR +other CDC pubs. Applies to research already submitted to top medical journals.

A few things wrong here from our friends at City Journal but the most obvious is that a coroner cannot identify a corpse as transgender unless they've medically transitioned-- which reduces their rate of suicide. A living trans person, however, can report their pre-transition suicidal behavior.

What defines the transgender population?
We recently had a paper come out in SSM in which we explore this in Danish population data. We find that certain groups of transgender individuals, but not all, are disadvantaged in education, labour market outcomes, and health. Keen to hear your thoughts!
