NEW: A study led by European finds that UK households see their income fall by 17% in the first year after job loss – a much sharper hit than in Nordic or continental countries.

'We Need a New Global Measure for Poverty'
The battle against global poverty has become less central to the global development agenda.
One reason for that is that the world is not measuring adequately — the daily poverty of billions of people is, therefore, not visible.
In my article in the @nytimes today I argue that the UN should establish a second, higher poverty line.
In our latest AJS paper, we show that life courses differ across four EU countries only for disadvantaged groups, likely due to varying welfare states and responsibilities of state, market, and family.
Collaboration with A. Fasang, @AleksiKarhula, @zafer_113, and S.B. Andrade.
New publication alert!
How do work & family life courses differ in welfare states across Europe? Explore findings from a study co-authored by @selcukbeduk (Departmental Lecturer @DSPI_Oxford) ⬇️

Last week I presented my working paper at #ESPAnet2024 on whether increasing labour market flexibility reduces segmentation— quasi-experimental evidence from Italy suggests it doesn't!
Thanks to Prof. Leschke and all attendees for the great feedback!
How does wealth transmit across generations?
We studied this using home ownership and value of 1341 parent-child pairs in the UK.
Children’s earnings, saving and investment income across the life course appear to be the main transmission mechanisms.

When the DWP acts as a debt collector, benefit deductions take the most from those with the least.
New paper exploring the impact of benefit deductions over time @spaajournal 🧵
🆕 research by @daniel_edmiston sheds light on the hidden impact of benefit deductions in the UK social security system. The paper uncovers how deductions deepen the poverty-debt cycle, contradicting policy intentions.
