NEW: updated long-run gap in voting between young men and women in Germany:

Gender divide continues to widen, but contrary to what is often assumed, young men continue to vote roughly in line with the overall population, while young women have swung sharply left.

Parenthood and Academic Career Trajectories

We show that scientists in wet fields, that have less flexibility in timing and location of work, suffer much larger penalties than dry fields. Women scientists in traditional couples (measured by the take up of parental leave) experience a larger penalty too.

The childbirth also leads to a drop in research output, measured by annual publications. It explains about 1/3 of the penalty on tenured employment, but the majority of the tenure gap cannot be explained by a drop in research output.

The motherhood penalty is especially stark when it comes to the likelihood of getting tenured. Men’s tenured employment remains unaffected by the arrival of a child, while women face a 20 pp drop. The effects of the motherhood penalty persist long after childbirth, even 8 years later.

We use Danish administrative data and follow individuals from the start of their PhDs. Before having children, men and women in academia follow similar career paths. But following parenthood, we find that mothers are 15 pp less likely than fathers to remain employed as faculty at universities.

A large gender gap persists in STEM disciplines across the world that is bad for innovation, talent attraction & against fairness principles.

"Denial of a wanted abortion has both immediate and lasting effects. It increases a woman’s risk of death by 2.5 p.p within nine months, mainly due to unsafe abortion procedures, and raises the likelihood of carrying the pregnancy to term by 31 p.p. "

It has huge negative impacts on the women. Bindler & Ketel (2022) find that reported IPV➡️ 18% ⬇️ in earnings & ⬆️ welfare benefits by 42%. Adams et al (2024) find that they experience immediate economic costs of partnering up with an abusive man, even if they do not report physical abuse themselves.

Most of it remains unreported. Of the women who have experienced physical violence or threats and/or sexual violence in their lifetime, only 20.5 % have contacted a healthcare service or social service provider as a result of the incident, and 13.9 % have reported the incident to the police.

Report from @eu-eurostat.extwitter.link released today: One in every 3 women (31.8%) in Europe has experienced physical violence or threats, sexual violence and/or psychological violence (IPV) over the course of their lives by an intimate partner. 1 out of 3!

Evermore today, it's important to understand how global events lead to a contagion of hate far away from the event's occurrence and how exogenous shocks can change how residents perceive local minority groups as an out-group threat.

A peak in hate crimes on the second and third day following an attack features frequently. Islamophobia is not only an immediate response to an attack but is additionally incited by the ways in which the media present news on perpetrators and victims.

Ria Ivandic @riaivandic.bsky.social · Nov 14

We find that only attacks with British or Western victims or occurring in Western Europe ➡️ get covered in british media ➡️ change out-group hate crimes. Other attacks that are not salient to the local population, despite having many more victims, lead to little UK media coverage and no backlash.
