The program for the 24th ESPAnet annual conference is online: www.iseg.ulisboa.pt/en/event/24t... @amilcarmoreira.bsky.social and his team created such an interesting program. Can't wait to many of you in Lisbon next week!
No child poverty in Sweden? Think again! We found big differences in poverty rates, poverty gaps and poverty buffers between children of Swedish-born and foreign-born parents. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... With @siddarthaaradhya.bsky.social and @rafgrotti.bsky.social
In other words, the consistent pattern we found was that those groups who have the greatest need for resilience, have the lowest capacity for resilience.
Using data from more than 3 million people across 30 European countries, we found a consistent pattern: lower-educated people, singles and single parents are more likely to experience unemployment, low-paid work and low work intensity, and more likely to fall into poverty when these setbacks occur.
The study introduces an "inequalities in resilience" framework that separates two questions: Who is most exposed to risks? Who is best able to cope with them? This provides a clearer picture of how inequalities arise and persist, offering a practical tool to identify where support is most needed.
Resilience has become one of the European Union's central policy ideas. In @reusilience.bsky.social we critically responded to how it is used to guide policies on social protection, employment and responses to major challenges such as technological change, demographic shifts and economic crises.

Thank you, Agnieszka Chłoń-Domińczak and SGH Warsaw School of Economics for hosting the 4th NDC Conference Presented joint work with Linda Kridahl and @martinkolk.bsky.social on “Family life trajectories and old-age poverty in Sweden: The role of NDC pensions and other pension schemes”
I don’t think the #smurfs have a particularly good track record on gender equality, but hey: if they can try it, so can we all! #smurfetteprincie
How symbolic, that upon submission of our multigroup Kitagawa-Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition to R / CRAN, the automated checks trip over Evelyn Kitagawa’s name, while the two men are just fine. More soon (hopefully), with @thaning.bsky.social
@abrarbawati.bsky.social presenting @reusilience.bsky.social results from ongoing work titled “From Origin to Destination: How Migration Shapes the Intergenerational Transmission of Poverty in Europe”. #espanet
Mary Daly from @dspi-oxford.bsky.social presenting key insights from the @reusilience.bsky.social book “Families, Welfare States and Resilience” at #ESPAnet www.elgaronline.com/edcollbook-o...
Toon Van Havere gave such a great presentation that I forgot to take a picture. In the @reusilience.bsky.social project, he bravely ventures into policy interplays and context specificity of childcare out-of-pocket costs and child-contingent benefits: osf.io/preprints/so...
@merveuzunalioglu.bsky.social presenting novel @reusilience.bsky.social data and analyses on the childcare gap.
Getting an #ESPAnet conference off the ground is no small feat - thanks to the organizing team!
@brandicarlile.bsky.social was captivating! What a performance to enjoy with Emmy Dijkstra. And such fun to run into @katymorris.bsky.social
As we have the final conference of @reusilience.bsky.social tomorrow, it is nice to look back on our input to a policy event on the new EU Anti-Poverty Strategy, organised by the DG Employment.
Excited to be representing @reusilience.bsky.social research in Brussels, at a hearing in preparation of the new EU Anti-Poverty Strategy. I'm speaking at an event titled "Social Protection and Inequality Reduction: Horizon Europe Insights for the Anti-Poverty Strategy"
Yes, R Studio @posit.co, I share your difficulties to verify current times. I have notes too ...
2.) We combined micro-level and macro-level policy data in comparative analysis of institutional context. This provides a stricter test of the policy mechanisms, and is more informative exactly how policies operate.
Next week, I will attend a parallel event of UN Commission on the Status of Women @unwomen.bsky.social, to support Single Supermom. I'll present research from @reusilience.bsky.social, and discuss policy recommendations from a gender perspective #100millionvoices ngocsw.org/ngocsw69/
Check in on your quantiles, people, they might not be (interpreted) alright. Excellent paper by Nicolai Borgen, @andreashaupt.bsky.social, and @oyvindw.bsky.social academic.oup.com/esr/article/...
About to present our @rEUsilience paper "Inequalities in European Resilience" at #ESPAnet2024. Joint work with @thaning.bsky.social, @bartovalzbeta.bsky.social, Lovisa Backman, and @wvlancker.bsky.social For more on our project, see www.reusilience.eu
