This insight, shared by Prof. Anna Matysiak in a recent #RingEkonomiczny interview, adds a new layer to the fertility puzzle: values matter, not just economics.

Many women want egalitarian partners. Many men still expect traditional roles. That mismatch is stalling family formation — not just money or jobs.

Why are fewer young adults in Poland forming couples — and how is that linked to falling fertility? 🧵

Preliminary research by Alina Pavelea (LabFam UW) shows that even among equally educated men & women, deeply different views on gender roles create a major relationship barrier.

Planet vs. Parenthood?
When the future feels apocalyptic, family planning becomes a moral dilemma?
We show that more climate change news + feeling you’re not doing enough = fewer first births

Job creation, job destruction, and fertility in Germany YouTube video by LabFam Centre for Labour Market & Family Dynamics

🔹 Key insights:

✅ Job creation for women boosts fertility rates 📈

❌ Job loss among men lowers fertility rates 📉

💡 Industry expansion in female-dominated sectors may have fueled Germany’s fertility rise since 2009

How does job creation and destruction shape fertility rates? Our latest podcast unpacks a study by Chen Luo and Ewa Jarosz labfer.uw.edu.pl/publications...

(2008–2020) from Germany, revealing how labor market shifts impact family decisions.

How does work autonomy shape fertility decisions in the UK? 🤔
📊 Using UKHLS (2009–2019) data, we find:
No link for men.
Highly educated women: + for second child, - for motherhood.
Less educated women: Mixed results.
Dive into the complexities of work, family, & social stratification.

🌍 Anna Kurowska, Vice-head of the #LabFam Proudly Representing #LabFam at the 8th KOSTAT-UNFPA Global Symposium on Low Fertility and Ageing in Seoul!
We are incredibly proud of this opportunity to contribute to global dialogue in Seoul, joining academics, policymakers & international organisations.

Exciting ! Our #LabFam team member Ewa Cukrowska-Torzewska is presenting at the Wittgenstein Centre Conference 2024 in Vienna at the iconic Austrian Academy of Sciences. 📍 Topic: Second births in 11 EU countries & US: Role of institutions. 🌍👶 #DelayedReproduction #Demography

The project extends the Comparative Panel File (CPF), which harmonizes world major panel surveys, by providing the possibility to study family and employment transitions over the life course. READ MORE: labfam.uw.edu.pl/labfam-indiv...

Within #ERC grant led by Head of #LabFam Anna Matysiak we developed LabFam Individual Biographies (LIB): open science project that harmonizes family and employment histories from longitudinal databases from several countries.

and how family life influences men’s and women’s position in the dynamically transforming labour markets. We also investigate the role public policies, labour market institutions or social norms play in shaping these interrelationships.

In particular, we study how the dynamic transformations in the labour market, caused by technological change, globalisation, development of the green economy or ageing, affect families

Hello Bluesky! Here at #LabFam Our major aim is to conduct high quality rigorous research on interdependencies between economic activity of individuals and their family life in a comparative cross-national perspective
