By 2030, 1 in 4 women in developed countries will remain childfree.

Up to 45% will be single by choice.

Society will frame this as a crisis.
Governments will panic over birth rates.
This is about choice though…

It's about women walking away from the roles that kept men comfortable and powerful.

Pleased to share my new article in Migration Studies @MigrationJrnl on why it’s so much harder than it sounds for government to select the “best and brightest” migrants

I illustrate using the example of two widely criticized 'investor visa' programmes

HIDDEN COST ACTION @hiddencostaction.bsky.social · Jun 6

June is Refugee Awareness Month.

This month, we’re sharing stories that matter—like You Don't Know What War Is by Yeva Skalietska.

At just 12 years old, Yeva fled war-torn Ukraine. Her diary is a raw, unforgettable account of survival and courage. @costprogramme.bsky.social
