Childhood left-behind experiences in China increase the odds of premarital cohabitation in adulthood. The effects vary by timing, and further analyses show heterogeneity by parental migration type and gender. #LifeCourse #LeftBehindChildren #Cohabitation https://www.demographic-research.org/articles/volume/53/30/

2nd general meeting #ageit in Napoli, prepping: #aging #lifecourse

📣 On my way to idyllic Duisburg to present a joint paper on 📝 Beyond tradition: Successful career paths to full professorship 📄 with Jasmin Kizilirmak, Lisa-Marie Steinkampf and Sandra Buchholz. Looking forward to the session on life course perspective on educational research oranized by the great Sebastian Lang!

What comes after cohabitation for young adults? Using sequence analysis, our study maps six common partnership-parenthood trajectories following cohabitation as first unions among early Millennials in the U.S., highlighting its diverse roles in family formation. https://www.demographic-research.org/articles/volume/53/9/

In #ResearchPolicy the authors explore how different forms of mobility – academic, institutional, geographic, and disciplinary – shape scientific recognition among biology professors in 🇨🇭:

It’s remarkably simple: in Swiss science, the highest recognition often goes to foreigners.

Just like in Ukrainian universities – where the government spares no expense to recruit promising Brazilians!

Oh, wait… no, that’s football.

Partnered mothers who were mainly unpaid caregivers or who did other unpaid activities had lower cognitive scores in later life than full-time working mothers. Partnered mothers who mainly worked part-time had the best cognitive function in later life, slightly higher than mothers who worked full-time.

Worsening health does not significantly predict suicide ideation until young adults approach the transition into midlife, possibly due to the increasing severity of health problems, reduced social network engagement, and disruption of social responsibilities later in early adulthood.

I've updated my SADI repository of #Stata code for life-course sequence analysis to cope with Stata 18.

No major changes, but if you are using Stata 18 it is worth updating:

Then run distances.do to test.
