Big milestone - my first citation! 🎉
The paper shows how economic deprivation (unemployment + financial dissatisfaction) increases risk of #IPV in Germany. Good to see we are advancing this important research in Germany but we need more and better data to do more than just scratch the surface

💫Very happy to share that my first single-authored paper has been published in @sfjournal.bsky.social. I suggest to combine Life Course Feature Selection with Ñopo decomposition to disentangle which life-course events drive gender inequalities such as Gender Pension Gaps doi.org/10.1093/sf/s...

We use Eurobarometer data to explore how strongly people across the EU reject the “no means yes” rape myth.
Gender gaps persist, but shrink with higher gender equality and “only yes means yes” laws.

⚠️ Limitations:
➖ We capture only physical IPV
➖ Only includes women who managed to separate

💡 Policy implication: Support maternal employment & childcare access to reduce IPV risk before and during separation, particularly in former West Germany

👉🏼 Higher HH income reduces stress and conflict in partnerships

👉🏼 Economic dependence traps women longer in unsafe relationships—and violent dynamics tend to build up over time

🚨 My very first paper (with @stefaniamolina.bsky.social and Michaela Kreyenfeld) is out in #PLOSONE!

🔎 Key takeaway: Mothers who are unemployed and low-educated are at highest risk.

Viele #Alleinerziehende stemmen #Kinderbetreuung, Job und Haushalt – und kommen finanziell kaum über die Runden. Das zeigt auch der aktuelle #Familienbericht. Alleinerziehende treffen auf steuerliche, strukturelle und soziale Rahmenbedingungen, die für sie nicht passen.

Eine erwachsene Person hält die Hand eines kleinen Kindes. Die Überschrift lautet: „Mehr Unterstützung für Alleinerziehende!“. Lisa Paus wird unten links im Bild erwähnt.

Text auf blauem Hintergrund: „In dieser Legislatur gibt es viel für Familien. Alleinerziehende profitieren davon besonders: Verbesserung der Kitas; Erhöhung von Kinderzuschlag, Kindergeld und Unterhaltsvorschuss; steuerliche Entlastungen.“ Lisa Paus wird unten links im Bild erwähnt.

Text auf blauem Hintergrund: „Wir wollen Alleinerziehende besser unterstützen, z. B. mit: Steuergutschriften, um niedrige Einkommen zu entlasten; 30 Tage Kinderkrankengeld; Kindergeld nur noch zur Hälfte auf den Unterhaltsvorschuss anrechnen.“ Lisa Paus wird unten links im Bild erwähnt.

Text auf blauem Hintergrund: „Wir wollen Alleinerziehende besser unterstützen, z. B. mit: Anspruch auf Beratung und Qualifizierung für den Arbeitsmarkt; einer Neuberechnung des soziokulturellen Existenzminimums für Kinder.“ Lisa Paus wird unten links im Bild erwähnt.
