Want to know a summary of the literature on factors affecting female labor force participation? See below 👇
Our new #VoxDevLit on Female Labour Force Participation is out now!
Senior Editor @rachelmheath synthesises evidence on the barriers to women's labour supply in low- and middle-income countries & evaluates policies to increase women’s labour supply: voxdev.org/voxdevlit/female-…
I'd like to share this list of urgent and vetted projects that USAID awarded grants for that were then terminated: airtable.com/appeewGHRQqibkO…
While all projects listed need funding, I'd like to highlight our project in Uganda with Health Access connect. In partnership with the MoH, they coordinate outreaches of gov health workers to rural Uganda (>5km from the public health facilities). healthaccessconnect.org/

🚀Launching the @Stata #geoboundary 🌎🌍🌏 package that allows users to pull #administrative ADM0-ADM5 (availability can vary) #boundaries for any #country, or for the whole #world. 🗺️
The package pull data from the geoboundaries.org/ database using its API. This package allows users to quickly setup the spatial data without having to hunt for #GIS information from random websites.
The syntax is fairly straightforward:
geoboundary ISO3 list, level(ADMx list)
The syntax can also convert shapefiles to Stata format and clean up the folder if specified. This can be useful if downloading data in bulk.
See below for installation instructions and examples:
github.com/asjadnaqvi/stata-…
Please test it out and report bug/feature requests!
Note that the boundary data is provided as it without guarantees or accuracies. Boundary data is also subject to change. Please check notes and meta data and use official sources if the most recent information is required.
Up soon on SSC.

Columbus I was unfamiliar with your game
ALT In body camera footage Columbus police released Monday, the neo-Nazis told police they had never experienced a response like the one they received in Columbus. They said people pulled guns on them and threw cans and vegetables as they marched, waved flags and yelled racial slurs. One of the officers noted the men were “covered in” pepper spray.

I have two fantastic students on the market this year. Anyone looking to hire in development + labor should take a serious look at them. First up, Varun Kapoor sites.google.com/view/varunk…
Labor markets in LMICs have high turnover & unemployment, even with high demand. Through 3 field experiments, Varun K examines how limited commitment + liquidity constraints on both sides of the market cause mismatch in labor supply-demand, which partly explains this phenomenon.

LEGENDARY: #Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase is the FIRST #NFL PLAYER with 70+ catches, 1,000+ yards, and 12+ TDs in 11 games since 2007 Randy Moss.
🤯🤯🤯
Chase, Randy Moss, Marvin Harrison, and Terrell Owens are the only players in NFL history to do this.

Happy World Children’s Day!
Nine out of 10 children in sub-Saharan Africa can’t read or do basic math by age 10–the traditional way of teaching isn’t working for many students. In Ghana, Differentiated Learning shows promise in boosting learning outcomes. Support IPA in scaling evidence-based solutions → bit.ly/ipagive2024⤵️
Differentiated learning holds so much promise for improving learning around the world.
See link below for research on this method
