My first PhD article has been published!

🔎 It examines how the relationship between flexible working time arrangements and self-reported work-to-life and life-to-work conflict is moderated by an (un)equal domestic labor distribution within heterosexual couples.

Who gets the privilege of free time? Across Europe, fathers enjoy more leisure time than mothers, especially in Southern and Eastern countries. New research across 13 countries shows persistent gender gaps in parental leisure. www.demographic-research.org/articles/vol...

📢 We find that shifts in the gender imbalance in education promoted rising hypogamy and declining hypergamy. Yet, if the gender-education association had remained constant, educational expansion would have also led to changes in hypogamy and hypergamy.

📢 Our professor Nadia Steiber @nadiasteiber.bsky.social spoke with Stephanie H. Murray (The Atlantic) about hypogamy.

In a shift, American women are now more likely to marry a less-educated man than men are to marry a less-educated woman. As one researcher told Stephanie H. Murray, “understanding the dynamics of these couples is key to understanding the future of marriage”:

The New ‘Marrying Down’

Women are now more likely to marry a less-educated man than men are to marry a less-educated woman.

Can mothers leverage the structural resources of their occupation like autonomy to balance motherhood and work, especially in the absence paid leave?

My latest article in the Journal of Marriage and Family suggests so.
