Louis Henderson and Jane Humphries argue in the OxREP that care labour is systematically neglected in conventional economic metrics. They illustrate how breastfeeding has been historically unrecognised despite its crucial contribution to infant health.

Multiverse studies seem doomed to perpetuate a cycle of "look it varies!" "but not that much" "does too!".
Here's another exchange that I had missed.
"Robustness is better assessed with a few thoughtful models than with billions of regressions"

Happy to share my new study, publ. in Social Science Research 🎉 Bottom line: Yes, adolescents use their phones a lot 🤳 But I find no support for the notion that this use displaces reading, homework, hobbies, physical act., sleep... Instead: Changing media preferences 📺 ->📱. doi.org/10.1016/j.ss...
The ContraIndex quantifies net benefits = returns – labor.
Results for 22 contraceptive methods show large variation:
🔹 Fertility monitor (+47)
🔹 Pill (+25)
🔹 Hormonal IUD (+8)
🔻 Hormone implant (–11)
🔻 Morning-after pill (–24)
[Scale: –100 = max. labor, 100 = max. returns]
Which contraceptive methods involve most labor vs. greatest returns?
High-return methods (like hormonal IUDs) often require more labor, while low-labor ones (like withdrawal) yield fewer benefits.
🟣 Pill, IUD, and sterilization = high cost
🟢 Condoms = more balanced
📈 Read ➡️ doi.org/10.31235/osf...
🚨 New preprint out
We propose the ContraIndex, a novel tool to measure contraceptive labor and returns.
Why does it matter? Bc both partners benefit from contraception - but women bear the cost: from choosing methods to managing side effects.

🏠 Who gets to own a home – and why?
New study by @jaschadraeger.bsky.social @nrmllr.bsky.social and klauspforr.bsky.social shows:
➡️ #Inheritances & family gifts – even just expected – strongly influence who buys property.
For once a little bit of self promotion: interesting paper on M

Repost @FReDA: Wer trägt die Last der #Verhütung?
Studie von @kfirl.bsky.social, @nrmllr.bsky.social & T. Nutz mit #FReDA-Daten:
➡️ Frauen leisten die meiste Verhütungsarbeit – emotional, körperlich & organisatorisch.
📊 Das gilt auch bei höherem Einkommen oder Bildung.

Theresa Nutz, @nrmllr.bsky.social, Julia Riebel and I submitted the DFG proposal for the joint project “Unpaid and unequal: Social inequality in contraceptive behavior and labor” this week!
The ContraIndex: A New Framework for Understanding Contraceptive Labor: http://osf.io/ngdez_v1/
💡 Key findings:
📉 Decline in hormonal contraceptive use across generations
🧠 Personality traits matter more in younger cohorts
💰 Economic factors remain crucial
🚨 New Preprint! 🚨
How are generational shifts shaping hormonal contraceptive use in Germany? We analyze societal, economic, and personal predictors across three cohorts using machine learning.
💡 Key findings below 👇

„Skandalös“ ist nicht die Forderung nach einer Entkriminalisierung von #Schwangerschaftsabbrüche bis zur zwölften Woche, also der Abschaffung von #Paragraph218 des Strafgesetzbuches. Sondern skandalös …

We will start with a focus on Germany, but plan to include international comparisons.
Anyone here with minimal interest in fertility work and contraception and good knowledge in formative indexing (from psychology, sociology, economics...)? MPlus skills are a plus. I am looking for a cooperation partner for a paper and research proposal. Get in touch! projectcontraception.github.io

[...] sent an e-mail to the journal editor, expressing my irritation with the process and asking the editor to at least share the two reviews with us. No reply from the journal since then. @plos.bsky.social
received another e-mail 4(!!!) days later that no other Ac. Editor could be found and that our paper has now been withdrawn; [continued below] @plos.bsky.social
[...] received another e-mail end of Jan that Academic Editor has left and asking if we like to withdraw the paper, otherwise another Ac. Editor has to be found; replied that we like to wait, considering that 2 reviews are already in [continued below] @plos.bsky.social
Very poor experience with PLOSOne @plos.bsky.social: Submitted a paper in July, suggesting 2 potential Academic Editors; did not hear back until Dec and asked for information; received an answer early Jan that 2 complete reviews are in and that a decision should be made soon; [continued in comments]
