New paper accepted for publication on how low income-families with chlidren respond to financial shocks.
"Different sized belts: family strategies against financial shocks" pre-print available here: osf.io/preprints/so... #ChildPoverty #SocialPolicy

Abstract: When faced with financial shocks families often combine multiple resources, including savings, networks, public transfers and services, to cover their needs and respond to changing conditions. This paper explores the strategies families with children in Barcelona deploy to respond to financial shocks by analysing interviews with 29 families experiencing difficulties to make ends meet. The paper makes three main contributions to the literature on responses to shocks. First, it provides novel evidence on how and to what extent families strategies are shaped by their past trajectories and resources. Second, it introduces a novel technique, event interviews, specifically designed to study family responses to events and identify the resources (both public and private) they rely on. Third, by contrasting the experiences of families with diverse resources, the paper seeks to illuminate some of the mechanisms through which structural constraints shape coping strategies and thus, agency. Understanding family strategies is particularly relevant in the current context framed by the aftermath of the COVID pandemic and the recent increases in energy, food and housing prices which affected the most disadvantaged the most.

My year started with this article coming out, so it's nice to see that it now is the most read on @europeansocieties.bsky.social. It's about the common sense political reasoning of the majority of citizens who don't care too much about politics.

In England and Wales, I can also show that local occupational change predicts individual-level Brexit support in 2016 *and* the present day

Would the same apply in 🇫🇷? Not sure, but would dearly love to find out

Long stays in reception centers do not impact employment, language and contacts of asylum seekers very much. Why? We show where people move after matters.
