🚨NEW PUBLICATION 🚨Household typologies in European surveys are biased against the reality of families in Southern and Eastern European countries. They mainly reflect family types that are more common in North-Western countries. This is problematic for European statistics, research and policy. 🧵
How can we build stronger evidence on parental leave policies across Europe?
This was the focus of our workshop in May 2025 in Luxembourg, bringing together experts from international organisations and national agencies. The report is now out! 📄 sustainable-leave-policies.eu/methodologic...
Our new paper about the Families in Households Typology (FHT) is finally out!
Codes (in Stata) are currently available for EU-SILC, ESS, EQLS and HBS and can be downloaded here: zenodo.org/records/1585...
Some insights into how low-resource families navigate life from the @reusilience.bsky.social project I had the pleasure to be part of. Much recommended read!
Did you know that 22.8% of Belgians care for/provide support to family members who need help due to age, illness or disability?
A striking stat from a recent @reusilience.bsky.social paper by @bartovalzbeta.bsky.social @wvlancker.bsky.social powered by TSS data and proposed as ESS Rotating Module.

Is it styrofoam? Are you being sarcastic? 😆🤯
Paid parenting leaves are vital for gender equality, poverty reduction, and parents' well-being. But understanding their true impact requires quality data. Read our comprehensive review of existing data to learn more about the Parenting Leave Policy Data Gaps. #COST #CA21150

The EU Work-Life Balance Directive that came into effect in 2022 took a huge step towards equal access to paid parenting leave. But do we have the data to truly measure its impact? Our latest policy brief dives deep into this crucial question.

I would also like to be added, please 😊
I often talk about how 🇳🇱 is THE place for Social Science and Humanities. Today 🇳🇱 got 25 ERC Starting Grants in SSH.
🇩🇪 (16) and 🇬🇧 (14) are distant 2nd and 3rd. Leiden University alone got more ERC Starting Grants in SSH than 🇸🇪.
This is the sector that the Dutch Government wants to dismantle
