The End of an Era: The Vanishing Negative Effect of Women’s Employment on Fertility ANNA MATYSIAK AND DANIELE VIGNOLI
This paper examines whether women’s employment in the 21st century remains a barrier to family formation, as it was in the 1980s and 1990s, or—similar to men’s—it has become a prerequisite for childbearing. We address this question through a systematic quantitative review (meta-analysis) of empirical studies conducted in Europe, North America, and Australia. We selected 94 studies published between 1990 and2023 (N = 572 effect sizes). Our analysis uncovers a fundamental shift in the relation-ship between women’s employment and fertility. What was once a strongly negative association has become statistically insignificant in the 2000s and 2010s—and even turned positive in the Nordic countries, parts of Western Europe (France, Belgium, and the Netherlands), and Central and Eastern Europe. This shift is evident both among childless women and mothers and has occurred across all analyzed country clusters, except for the German/Southern European group, where the relationship has remained negative. These findings challenge longstanding assumptions about work–family trade-offs and suggest a reconfiguration of the economic and social conditions underpinning fertility decisions in contemporary high-income societies. The paper calls for a reconceptualization of the employment–fertility relationship and development of a new theoretical framework that better captures these evolving dynamics in contemporary high-income societies

Important new paper by @amatysiak.bsky.social and Daniele Vignoli showing that the association between women's employment and fertility is no longer negative in most high-income countries as work-family reconciliation policies and practices have increased. doi.org/10.1111/padr...

Vertical CBRT Policy Rate
Horizontal: Inflation Rate

Vertical CBRT Policy Rate Horizontal: Inflation Rate

#aycatekinkoru and @maattar.bsky.social will soon publish a joint study on the relative welfare loss of Turkey's grand monetary policy experiment. The authors estimate that CPI inflation would have hovered around 20% without the 2021 rate cuts. Looking forward to the full text.

This is an animation of the policy rate (vertical) and inflation (horizontal), starting in May 2010 and ending in March 2025.

With @tekin-koru.bsky.social we tried to calcuate the welfare loss associated with high inflation, and we arrive at large losses relative to a synthetic Turkiye.

Have you ever heard the greatest monetary policy experiment of Türkiye?? Starting in September 2021, CBRT (i.e., Turkish central bank) decreased the policy rate when CPI inflation was way above its official target.

30 years after arriving in the US, I just resigned from Northwestern and we sold our house.

We are an American family, I became a citizen in 2014, and until recently did not expect to ever leave. But now, this no longer feels like the right place to raise a family and pursue a research career.

Remember that the Turkish government did not disclose all confirmed COVID-19 cases for several months during the second wave. We develop an algorithm to detect epidemiological underestimation using a SEIRD model, and we apply the algorithm to Türkiye.

Paper on the post-2008 pronatalist rhetoric in Türkiye is now published at the Turkish Journal of Population Studies. It shows that post-2008 pronatalist rhetoric did not create a causal effect on actual fertility.

Derginin editörlük sürecinin hızlı ve titiz biçimde işletildiğini ve çok yararlı ve ciddi hakem raporlarının geldiğini de belirteyim. Nüfusbilim ile ilgili çalışmalarınızı gönderebileceğiniz nitelikli bir dergi.

Makalenin zamanlaması manidar oldu. Çünkü şimdi söylemin ve 2015'te başlatılan "komik" bebek bonuslarının ötesine geçilmesi gerektiğini düşünen bir hükümet var. Yani sadece söylemin işe yaramadığı bir biçimde anlaşılmış. 2025 yılı da biliyorsunuz "Aile Yılı" olarak ilan edildi.

Türkiye'de 2008-sonrası döneme damga vuran pronatalist söylem hakkındaki makalem Nüfusbilim Dergisi'nde yayınlandı. Makale pronatalist söylemin gerçekleşen doğurganlık üzerinde herhangi bir nedensel etkisi olmadığını gösteriyor.

Somebody at @ajpseditor.bsky.social has a great sense of humor, having accepted our paper on the “dictator’s dilemma” the very day that Bashar al-Assad fled Syria.

Joint with @luozhaotian.bsky.social, @antonshirikov.bsky.social, and Dmitriy Vorobyev.
