Did military service in Europe affect men's occupational choices? @mhamjediers.bsky.social presenting at #ECSR2025, very focused and passionate about research, as usual.

We investigate selection into armed forces, licensed and male-dominated occupations across multiple countries.

I totally agree. Would be great if other surveys have been in the field and I will keep my eyes open 🧐

Thanks for the input. It would have been great to do this with some other countries as well, however, the design builds on surveys being in the field at that time, which unfortunately applied only to Czechia and Uruguay. And yes, they substantially differ in their historical connection to Russia...

In the context of debates on military capacities, this small research note uses the exact date of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as an unexpected event during a survey to corroborate that willingness to fight rises with proximity to conflict (cf. doi.org/10.1017/eis.2025.12)

Any feedback is welcome!

This is the most interesting opinion piece I have read on the topic of polygenic embryo screening!
The "having" and "doing" of motherhood, the concrete practicalities of IVF, the blur between traits and diseases, etc.

Highly recommended reading.

Just a regular reminder, the wealthy, in every country use WAY more energy than is required for a decent living standard (blue bar)

Figure 5.3 | Energy use per capita per year of three groups of countries ranked by socio-economic development and displayed for each country based on four or five different income groups (according to data availability) as well as geographical representation. The final energy use for decent living standards (20-50 G) cap*' yr-') (Rao et al. 2019b) is indicated in the blue column as a reference for global range, rather than dependent on each country. Source: data based on Oswald et al. (2020).

Data from nine European and North American countries reveal that the disparity in earnings between immigrants and natives is largely a result of segregation of immigrant workers into lower-paying jobs...
