Say you’ve got very good causal IDENTIFICATION. Can you say you have causality, can make a causal general claim, and can say what “THE causal effect” is?

NO

We explain why in new article at Journal of Causal Inference.

Interesting paper on effect of interviewer gender on gender gap in reported housework. "women tend to report significantly more hours of housework when interviewed by a woman rather than by a man" link.springer.com/article/10.1...

The regression table examines factors influencing daily housework hours for women and men, highlighting key findings:

- **Female Interviewer:** Women spend more time on housework with a female interviewer, increasing the gender gap.
- **Paid Work Time:** More paid work reduces housework time for both genders, more so for men.
- **Income:** Higher income correlates with less housework for both.
- **Marital Status:** Married women do more housework; married men do less.
- **Children:** Having children increases housework for both, with significant effects across all child age groups.
- **Interview Length:** Longer interviews slightly increase men's housework time.

The model explains 16.7% of the variance for women and 9.09% for men, based on 18,965 individuals and 110,544 observations. (Summarized by mistral)

🚨 Are young women becoming more left-wing & young men more right-wing?
We analyzed 32 European countries (1990–2023).
📊 Some show growing gaps—others don’t.
📊 Gaps tend to be bigger where gender equality is higher.

"Simpson's gender-equality paradox" surely deserve some award for best title 👑
The gender-equality paradox seems really central to some narrative people have constructed (and successfully sold). I absolutely wouldn't be surprised if it turned out 100% confounding.>
