What happens to a woman's working life after a pregnancy loss?
Up to one in five or six recognised pregnancies ends in a loss. We know a lot about how having a child changes women's careers, but we know very little about what happens when a pregnancy ends without one.
The study assesses some potential mechanisms It does suggest that a pregnancy loss, usually treated as a private grief, also has a cost at work, and that leave policies and employers should take it into account.

Dunque, a metà settembre #Amorim e il #Milan sono spalle al muro. Il tecnico portoghese non ha più tempo per sistemare le cose dopo un avvio confuso in cui l’unica cosa che non è un problema (oggi) è la classifica.
#Cardinale lo sostiene, ma la call post Benfica è servita per far sapere al mondo che - siccome il tempo è finito - d’ora in poi Amorim deve cambiare registro. Che significa basta esperimenti e sistemare un rapporto con i senatori che va lacerandosi. In pratica fiducia ad Amorim a patto che non faccia Amorim.
Non bene, direi…
Our paper "Sleeping With the Enemy" is featured this weekend in the Süddeutsche Zeitung.
In hi article (how much opposition can love bear?), Sebastian Herrmann uses our study to make the point that political difference between partners has stopped being only a matter of taste.
You can read Herrmann's piece in issue No. 157 (11–12 July 2026), and our article is open access in Demography: read.dukeupress.edu/demograp…
Using the Norwegian MoBa cohort, we find no clear evidence that mid-pregnancy PFAS concentrations are associated with a recent miscarriage among women who have not experienced any pregnancy. Open access article on Environmental Research

When do people in the UK have their first child, and are they married, cohabiting, or single at that time?
Do these patterns vary by parents’ social class and birth cohort?

“Sleeping With the Enemy: Partners' Heterogamy…”: @aledinal & @brunoarpinoEU examined data on nearly 30K British couples & found that couples holding divergent political party and Brexit preferences were at increased risk of union dissolution. @MPIDRnews ow.ly/a7k450W7Uq9
Relationships are often built on shared values and beliefs, but what happens when political preferences create a divide?
@brunoarpinoEU and I investigated how political (mis)match affects union dissolution in @ReadDemography

In short, political harmony (or mismatch) is a piece of the puzzle when we try to understand why some couples stay together and others break up.
