We're happy to be part of this great project! MPIDR will investigate the interplay of education with #health, family-formation, employment & #migration to help understand the role of education in shaping equal opportunities, while revealing inequalities & barriers that influence education & careers.
At #PAA2026, visit booth 409 to see what Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) @mpidr.bsky.social is up to.
Sign up until May 1!

💔People with a similar risk of divorce are more likely to marry: Hans F. Sunde & Philipp Dierker found that spouses tend to be similar in terms of their risk of separation. Marriage is shaped not only by a person's own background, but also by that of their partner. www.demogr.mpg.de/go/divorce_risk
