nel dibattito politico e pubblico degli ultimi mesi si parla molto di fecondità e di inverno dmeografico

#neodemos ha preparato un "vademecum", sul tema

"tutto quello che avreste voluto sapere sulla fecondità e non sapevate dove cercare"

Takeaway: Beyond socio-demographic factors, personality influences grandparental childcare

Methodological implication: account for personality in studies on determinants or effects of grandchild care

Fixed-effect model may (partially) account for personality given its stability

Results in brief: Personality matters.

Openness, conscientiousness, extraversion & agreeableness → higher likelihood of grandchild care provision

conscientiousness (and mildly neuroticism) → higher likelihood of weekly care.

Data: SHARE waves 7–8, 27 European countries

Couples tend to have similar partisan preferences, but is that because of
(a)direct political, or
(b)indirect (eg social) matching, or
(c)alignment over time?
German research by @hudde.bsky.social & Grunow suggests it’s mostly (a), with some (c):

It just happened again, as it happens multiple times each year: Someone's student asked me to look at their model output, I asked why they chose those variables, they say "these variables might influence outcome". This is a failure of training in biology, not student's fault. Committee is no better!
